34 35 Limb movements can be driven by muscle contractions, external forces or intrinsic 36 passive forces. For lightweight limbs like those of insects or small vertebrates, passive forces 37 can be large enough to overcome the effects of gravity and may even generate limb 38 movements in the absence of active muscle contractions. Understanding the sources and 39 actions of such forces is theref...

In this study, a nickel (II) complex with 1,10-phenanthroline based ligand, [Ni(FIP)2](OAC)2 (1) with FIP = 2-(Furan-2-yl)-1H-Imidazole[4,5-f][1,10] phenanthroline as ligand was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis. The interaction of [Ni(FIP)2](OAC)2 (1) with calf-thymus DNA (ct-DNA) was studied by UV-vis absorption, fluorescence spectroscopies and visc...

ophiocoma erinaceus muller &troschel; (ophiocomidae) is part of the extensive group of echinoderm that contains bioactive metabolites. as, the anti cancer potential of brittle star saponin has not been reported against cervical cancer, the present study was conducted to evaluate the anticancer effect of extracted crude saponin. saponin extraction was conducted using conventional method such as ...

Similar to random sea waves, forces on the offshore structures due to waves are random. These forces can be mainly divided into two components, namely, inline forces and transverse or lift forces. The random nature of lift forces is more complicated than that of inline forces and both should be combined for design purposes. In the present paper, two different approaches have been used to determ...

Fast rotating Wolf-Rayet stars are expected to be progenitors of long duration gamma-ray bursts. However, the observational test this model is problematic. Spectral lines originate in expanding stellar wind, therefore a reliable spectroscopical determination their rotational velocities difficult. Intrinsic polarization due modulation wind may provide an indirect way determine these stars. detai...

trissolcus grandis (thomson) (hymenoptera: scelionidae) is the most important egg parasitoid of the common sunn pest, eurygaster integriceps puton (hemiptera: scutelleridae) in iran. demographic characteristics may be used for preliminary screening of parasitoid species or populations as well as for predicting their efficiency under different physical conditions in the field. in this study, the...

life table gives the most comprehensive explanation of the survivorship, development, and reproduction of a population. the life table parameters of an aphidophagous midge, aphidoletes aphidimyza were studied on different densities (5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80) of third instar nymphs of aphis gossypii as prey in a growth chamber (25 ± 1 °c, 70 ± 5% rh and a photoperiod of 16l: 8d h). the pre-oviposit...

considerable attention has been given to the identification of key forms of reward and its linkage to employee engagement. for this purpose following study aims to uncover the influence of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards on employee engagement in the public sector of uganda. a sample of 184 public sector employees was randomly selected and taken from gulu district. a quantitative approach based...
