The aim of present study was to carry out pharmacognostic and physicochemical evaluation of fruits of Gmelina arborea. Fresh fruits and dried powder of the fruits were studied by morphology, microscopy, qualitative chemical test and florescence analysis of powdered drug. Other physicochemical parameters were also performed as per WHO guide lines. The detailed microscopy revealed the presence of...

We used scanning electron microscopy to study the morphological surface patterns of cells that cover the attached gingiva and intervestibular papilla of the human oral gingival epithelium. Five patterns are described on the basis of the overall appearance of morphological surface markers: microvilli, parallel, fingerprint, reticular and pitted. Statistical analyses detected significant differen...

We present a technique for obtaining atomic resolution ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy images of diamond (100) films, and use this technique to study the temperature dependence of the etching of epitaxial diamond (100) films by atomic hydrogen. We find that etching by atomic hydrogen is highly temperature dependent, resulting in a rough and pitted surface at T approximately 200 a...

Moung Tun Aung, a Burman, aged 27, was admitted into Hospital on the 8th of February 1895, supposed to be suffering from ail abscess of the calf of the right leg. He was a fairly well-developed man, of medium stature. His grandmother was a Shan, otherwise he was entirely of Burmese descent. He had small-pox in infancy and was deeply pitted by it all over the face; when he was fifteen years of a...

Dowling-Degos disease (DDD) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited pigmentary disorder of the flexures with a reticulate aspect and with presence of prominent comedone-like lesions and pitted scars. The diagnosis includes acanthosis nigricans as well as other reticulate pigmentary disorders classified into: dyschromatrosis symmetrica hereditaria (DSH), dyschromatosis universalis hereditaria (DU...

Though sometimes pitted against one another and at times contradictory, the ideas of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler on the nature and expression of our sexuality and our gender identities help us to gain a deeper and more rounded picture of the impact and import of the burgeoning phenomenon of internet dating websites. This paper looks at the use and prevalence of video-sharing technologies ...

This paper reports results from a project in which Genetic Algorithms (GAs) have been used, first, to derive mappings which may explain the behavior of brand managers in an oligopolistic retail market for coffee; second, to attempt to improve on the historical profits of these brand managers, pitted in weekly competition with each other, vying for sales and profits with their different brands o...
