In 1-year experiments, the final population density of nematodes is usually modeled as a function of initial density. Often, estimation of the parameters is precarious because nematode measurements, although laborious and expensive, are imprecise and the range in initial densities may be small. The estimation procedure can be improved by using orthogonal regression with a parameter for initial ...

One of the main manifestations of climate change will be increased rainfall variability. How to deal with this in agriculture will be a major societal challenge. In this paper we explore flexibility in land use, through deliberate seasonal adjustments in cropped area, as a specific strategy for coping with rainfall variability. Such adjustments are not incorporated in hydro-meteorological crop ...

OBJECTIVE The outcome of post-surgical recurrences of cervical cancer may be improved through radiation dose escalation, which hinges on accurate identification and treatment of the target. The present study quantifies target motion during course of image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) for vault cancers. METHODS All patients underwent planning CT simulation after bladder-filling protocol. A daily...

OBJECTIVE The authors determined whether microscopically positive surgical margins are detrimental to the outcome of early stage breast cancer patients treated with conservation surgery and radiation therapy. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA The optimal extent of breast surgery required for patients treated with conservation surgery and radiation therapy has not been established. To achieve breast pre...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Microinvasive tumor cells, which are not detected on conventional imaging, contribute to poor prognoses for patients diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM, WHO grade IV). Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) shows promise in being able to detect this infiltration. This study aims to detect a difference in diffusion properties between GBM (infiltrative) and brain metastase...

Honey marketing is an important off-farm economic activity for women's livelihood and sustenance. Despite this, there scant information in the literature about performance of women honey marketers. Therefore, this study investigates marketers, its drivers, challenges. Data collected from 120 marketers were analyzed using descriptive statistics, gross profit, net benefit-cost ratio, return on ca...

A study to determine the financial benefits of intercropping immature rubber plantation with cassava in South Eastern Nigeria was carried out at Rubber Research Institute Nigeria, Iyanomo near Benin City. The set up a randomized complete block design each treatment replicated three times. Yield data generated were used profitability systems. results showed economic yield from as trees did not a...
