Healing rate curves were drawn from analyzed data. Monthly progress of healing was determined. Following average values of optical density in fracture gap were calculated: after first month of treatment 28.53% OD (STD 15.24), after second month 26.46% OD (STD 13.7), and 18.69% OD (14.06) after third month of treatment. The highest rate of healing was observed after first and second months of tr...

More and more academic research libraries are applying organizational development (OD) concepts in their organizations. The outcomes of focusing on and utilizing this management approach are described, including how OD has made significant differences in these libraries. To assess the current state of OD in academic research libraries, interviews were conducted in July–August 2003 with twelve i...

OBJECTIVES Paediatric organ donation (OD) represents a small proportion of total OD in Australia and New Zealand. Our aim was to describe the patterns of paediatric OD, specifically, the demographic characteristics and donation outcomes over two time periods. DESIGN We performed a retrospective study using national OD and intensive care registry data from intensive care units in Australia and...

Let OD be the ring of integers in the imaginary quadratic field Q( √ D) of discriminant D < 0. Then PGL2(OD) is a discrete subgroup of the isometry group PSL2(C) (= PGL2(C)) of hyperbolic 3-space H3 . The quotient space H/PGL2(OD) = XD is topologically a noncompact 3-manifold whose cusps (ends) are of the form S × [0,∞). The number of cusps of XD is known to be hD , the class number of OD . So ...

the objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters coupled with genetic and phonotypic trends for age at first calving (afc), open days(od) and milk yield(my) of first lactation in iranian holstein cows. records of reproduction and production for genetic evaluation from 1984 to 2005 for afc, od and my were 71736, 20126 and 20126, respectively. single and two-variable animal models w...

The following two factors significantly influence estimates of the maximum specific growth rate ( micro (max)) and the lag-phase duration (lambda): (i) the technique used to monitor bacterial growth and (ii) the model fitted to estimate parameters. In this study, nine strains of Listeria monocytogenes were monitored simultaneously by optical density (OD) analysis and by viable count enumeration...

Depriving one eye of visual experience during a sensitive period of development results in a shift in ocular dominance (OD) in the primary visual cortex (V1). To assess the heritability of this form of cortical plasticity and identify the responsible gene loci, we studied the influence of monocular deprivation on OD in a large number of recombinant inbred mouse strains derived from mixed C57BL/...

When Escherichia coli 15T- cells growing exponentially at 70- to 80-min doubling times are subjected to a nutritional shift-up via glucose addition, cell division continues at the preshift rate for about 70 min (rate maintenance). The same cells growing at doubling times of 120 min or longer, however, begin to divide at a new faster rate immediately upon glucose addition. In both the rate maint...
