mulberry (morus spp.) is a perennial tree cultivated for its foliage to rear the domesticated silkworm, bombyx mori l. mulberry has improved through conventional breeding in general aims to improve the quantity and quality of leaf yield, which have direct bearing on silk productivity. leaf senescence is one of the major constraints, which restricts the quantity of quality leaf availability for ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate age and sex influences on fall characteristics. METHODS A total of 1243 subjects (517 males and 726 females) aged 50 years and over and drawn from population based sampling frames were invited to complete an interviewer administered questionnaire concerning descriptive characteristics of falls experienced in the previous four months. Information collected included det...

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of fall type and fall height on the kinematics, kinetics, and muscle activation of the upper extremity during simulated forward falls using a novel fall simulation method. Twenty participants were released in a prone position from a Propelled Upper Limb Fall ARrest Impact System. Impacts occurred to the hands from two fall heights (0.05m and ...

A striking feature in many forms of rheumatic disease is the high sedimentation rate of the erythrocytes. The rate of fall of erythrocytes in plasma may be expressed as sedimentation rate (S.R.), or as suspension stability (S.S.). The S.R. (Westergren, Linzenmeier) is expressed by a figure indicating the fall of the column of the red cells in a 200 mm. tube, while the S.S. is expressed as the h...

OBJECTIVE To assess compliance with current standards of playgrounds where children have sustained a fall-related arm fracture. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Between October 2000 and December 2002, a consecutive prospective series of 402 children aged under 13 years who fell from playground equipment and sustained an arm fracture was identified by emergency department staff in five Victori...

abstract   background:  monitoring height for age is very important indicator in children and teenagers periods. unfortunately in screening for students’ nutritional problems, only students with height below 3rd percentile of health road (height, weight or bmi charts) are reported and plotted in national growth charts, whereas attention to total normal distribution of student growth and compari...

The data from 40 patients with essential hypertension treated with oxprenolol alone have been used to analyse the falls of blood pressure and heart rate. Blood pressure and heart rate did not fall further as the daily dose was increased above 160 mg. The range of fall in mean pressure was from 0 to 40 mmHg and there was no clear separation into response groups. Pressure falls were unrelated to ...

this article deals with a tentative method of concrete compression and the measurement of compressional resistance. the subject of free fall for concrete compression has not received adeqaute attention so far. in this research, the compresional resistance of compressed concrete with free fall is compared with the compressed concrete by trembling bed. to do so, 176 cylinderical testing case with...

The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence and pattern of traumatic fractures (TFs) as a result of falls in a population of children and adolescents (≤18 years old) in China.This was a cross-sectional study. We retrospectively reviewed 1412 patients who were children and adolescents with TFs as a result of falls admitted to our university-affiliated hospitals in China from 2001 to 20...
