The aim of this work was to study the variability of physiological responses to bending and the relationship with hydraulic conductance of the sap pathway to the laterals for five apple genotypes. The study focuses on the fate of the laterals. The genetic variability of bending can have two sources: a genetic variability of stem geometry which can lead to differences in mechanical state; and a ...

Hazen-Williams equation is used widely by irrigation systems’ designers due to its simplicity.However, Darcy-Weisbach equation is more accurate and reliable. The accuracy of the latter is due to its friction coefficient, which depends on both flow characteristics and pipe surface state. On the other hand, Hazen-Williams’ coefficient (C) depends only on pipe substance and age. A comparative anal...

The Drosophila imaginal cells that produce epidermal hairs, the shafts of sensory bristles and the lateral extensions of the arista are attractive model systems for studying the morphogenesis of polarized cell extensions. We now report the identification and characterization of furry, an essential Drosophila gene that is involved in maintaining the integrity of these cellular extensions during ...

INTRODUCTION Maxillary surgery on a bone segment enables movement in the sagittal and vertical planes. When performed on multiple segments, it further provides movement in the transverse plane. Typical sites for interdental osteotomies are between laterals and canines, premolars and canines, or between incisors. Additionally, osteotomies can be bilateral, unilateral or asymmetric. The ability t...

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of peg laterals and small lateral incisors in orthodontic patients, visiting the orthodontic department, faculty of dentistry, the university of Lahore. The data (history sheets, dental casts and panoramic radiographs) of 230 patients (36.5% males, 63.5% females; mean age: 16.4 years) were randomly selected from orthodontic patient’s rec...

Objectives Root resorption is a dangerous side effect in orthodontics, and maxillary incisors are at the highest risk for root resorption. It is important to understand optimal force considerations for patients with altered root lengths.The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of root length on stress distribution on roots by means of three dimensional fi...

Velar lateral sounds are rare and their acoustics contextual effects understudied. Positional variants of velar laterals also rarely reported. This paper documents a previously unknown allophony pattern the in Mee (Trans New Guinea; Indonesia), based on an elicitation study with two speakers controlled set recordings from one speakers. Our main dataset included carrier phrase words lateral, rep...
