Sorghum seedling transplanting is an essential agricultural activity in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, conventional manual of sorghum a time-consuming, labour-intensive, costly with low rate, uneven plant distribution, and degree accuracy. In order to realize rapid precise seedlings transplanting, duckbill-type mechanism has been designed. This five-bar linkage consisting two crankshafts, connect...

Implant-supported craniofacial prostheses are made to restore defective areas in the face and cranium. This clinical report describes a technique for fabrication of an orbital prosthesis with three adjacent implants in the left lateral orbital rim of a 60-year-old woman. Selection of appropriate attachment system (individual magnetic abutments versus bar-clip attachment) for implant-supported o...

one of the methods for the determination of focal mechanisms of earthquakes is the linear inversion of moment tensor in time domain. that method is used here for determining of the focal mechanisms the darbe astaneh silakhor earthquake of 31 march 2006 and two of its foreshocks and six aftershocks with local magnitude more than 4. the data of six broadband stations of the international institut...

Aims. The aim is to study the stellar content of the bar region to constrain its formation and evolution. Methods. Line-strength indices in the bar region of a sample of 6 barred galaxies were employed to derive age and metallicity gradients along the bars using stellar population models. Results. We find clear radial gradients in the line-strength indices for all the galaxies. We find positive...

Maropitant, a neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist, may provide analgesic effects by blocking pharmacological action of substance P. Carprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug commonly used for pain control in dogs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a combination of maropitant and carprofen on the minimum alveolar concentration for blunting adrenergic response (MAC-BA...
