www.trendsinmenshealth.com TRENDS IN UROLOGY & MEN’S HEALTH MAY/JUNE 2017 Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and the second most frequent cause of cancer death in Western men.1 Recent data from the STAMPEDE trial suggest a median survival of just 42 months in the control arm of metastatic men.2 Current standard care consists of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) +/− chemotherapy based on...

High quality PIV experiments in micro-channel flow geometries to get detailed and accurate flow measurements can be difficult and involves paying attention to a variety of aspects. In the experiments, the reasons could be ranging from uncontrolled transients in the fluidic flows systems to fouling of the microchannels by impurities, bubbles, the seed particles themselves. Another factor which c...

In this paper, we propose a new efficient and secure micro-payment scheme, named e-coupons, which can provide the users the facility of delegating their spending capability to other users or their own devices like Laptop, PDA, Mobile Phone, and such service access points. The scheme has the promise of becoming an enabler for various Internet-based services involving unit-wise payment. It gives ...

because of its kinetic nature and computational advantages, the lattice boltzmann method (lbm) has been well accepted as a useful tool to simulate micro-scale flows. the slip boundary model plays a crucial role in the accuracy of solutions for micro-channel flow simulations. the most used slip boundary condition is the maxwell slip model. the results of maxwell slip model are affected by the ac...

Seed-based ecosystem restoration has huge potential to restore degraded drylands. However, fewer than 10% of directly sown seeds transition established seedlings. One the factors restricting plant establishment in soils is low abundance and diversity native soil micro-organisms. In this study, we investigated whether returning indigenous bacteria cyanobacteria consortia dryland improved seedlin...

Interesting morphological traits in tree organs are essential for selecting the best plant germplasm. Variation morphometric of leaf, fruit and seed multipurpose Diospyros mespiliformis were studied two climatic zones Benin using 735 trees from 4 major habitats (provenances) each zone. Morphological trait measurements combined with architectural parameters analyzed two-way ANOVA, principal comp...
