Traditional passive ground wheel drive of peanut planters has displayed poor high-speed seeding performance and the slippage caused in case sticky wet soil. Given this, an integrated electric-driven precision seed metering device controller were designed, which features application improved fuzzy PID algorithm. Based on a small planter with one ridge width duplicate rows, servo motor is used to...

One of the two peripheral nerves which innervate rat lumbrical muscle was stimulated chronically in vivo during the postnatal period of synapse elimination to determine whether the differential stimulation would affect the outcome of the elimination process. Rats were anesthetized for about 4 hr a day for 5 to 6 consecutive days, during which time the sural nerve (or, in other animals, the late...

A standard view of Southern history identifies the Civil War and emancipation as a key stage in the transition to capitalism or “modernization”. This interpretation is closely associated with the work of Charles and Mary Beard, and was epitomized in C. Vann Woodward’s Origins of the New South, a survey of postbellum Southern history that remains highly influential today, more than half a centur...

peduncidaris by Messrs. James Finlay & Co., Ltd., Calcutta, in March 1936 by means of an extract from Circular No. 1 (1936) of the Dooars Planters' Association. The extract was entitled ' Vitex Peduncularis and Blackwater Fever ' by L. J. de la Nougerede. In April 1936 Dr. D. Finlayson of Munnar, Travancore, kindly sent me a report from Air. C. Rowson, a planter of great experience from the sam...

Abstract A desk top analysis was conducted to assess the feasibility and economics of introducing a fully mechanised combine harvesting system on several farms of a miller cum planter estate located in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands of South Africa. Machinery and equipment costing exercises based on row length, haul-out distance and harvester forward speeds were investigated. The outcome of the stu...

Understanding muscle architecture of the foot may assist in the design of surgical procedures such as tendon transfer, biomechanical modeling of the foot, prosthesis design, and analysis of foot function. This paper primarily focuses on the variation of Flexor Digitorum Longus and Brevis muscles of foot. Sixty inferior extremities were dissected. While dissecting a body of adult female we obser...

SUMMARY A keloid is a benign fibroproliferative disease of unknown etiology. Although it is common among Asians, the development of keloid on the foot is rare. We experienced a case of a keloid which arose on the foot of a 4-year-old boy after the surgical release of syndactyly. He had congenital cutaneous syndactyly of the third and fourth toes. After the reconstructive operation was performed...

The neurological findings of 100 patients of adult cerebral malaria were studied. The commonest neurological feature was symmetrical upper motor neuron lesion as evidenced by exaggerated tendon reflexes and bilateral planter extensor (61%). Twenty two percent had features of meningeal irritation and/or meningism. Abnormal posturing occurred decerebrate rigidity (6%) and decorticate rigidity (4%...
