Noctuidonema dibolia n. sp., an ectoparasite of adults of the noctuid moth Mocis latipes (Guenée) is described. The differentiating characters are a club-shaped body with a subterminal vulva in the female, spicules with a reduced matrix and sheath and closely apposed dorsal and ventral arms in the male, very long stylet and conus, moderately prominent stylet knobs, a bluntly rounded head, and a...

Two new species of plant parasitic nematodes (Tylenchorhynchus quaidi n. sp. and T. tritici n. sp.) from Pakistan are described and illustrated. Tylenchorhynchus quaidi n. sp., from soil around roots of potato (Solanum tuberosum) from an experimental field of NNRC, Karachi, Pakistan, is distinguishable from other species by its peculiar sunken dome-shaped head. Although similar to T. goffarti, ...

background: scaphoid mal:union: alters the carpal kinematics and impairs clinical outcome because of pain, weakness, restricted range of motion and predisposing the wrist joint to early osteoarthritis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the scaphoid morphological angles on clinical outcomes in patients with reconstructed scaphoid by non-vascularized bone graft. methods: seve...

Individual non-minor injuries (Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) > or = 2) to the head that occurred to belted and unbelted drivers and front seat passengers on the stuck side of impacted vehicles were examined. Injury type, injury combination, collision severity in relation to type of injury as well as contact sources were assessed. Forty-eight percent of injuries were moderate in severity (AIS 2...

Defects in head and neck after tumor resection often provide significant functional and cosmetic deformity. The challenge for reconstruction is not only the aesthetic result, but the functional repair. Cancer may involve composite elements and the in sano resection may lead to an extensive tissue defect. No prospective randomized controlled studies for comparison of different free flaps are ava...

Melt dispersion experiments with lateral failure in the bottom head were carried out in a 1:18 scaled annular cavity design under low pressure conditions. Water and a bismut-alloy were used as melt simulant material and nitrogen as driving gas. With lateral breaches the liquid height in the lower head relative to the upper and lower edge of the breach is an additional parameter for the dispersi...

the water deficiency is one of the serious problems in the arid zones. in order to investigate the effect of cycocel on different growth aspects of two olive cultivars (mary and mission), a greenhouse experiment was conducted using three factors of: cycocel at three levels (0, 500 and 1000 mg l-1), irrigation of three levels (irrigated at 5, 10 and 15 days intervals) and tow olive cultivars (ma...

The lateral position of the head is controlled by a servo loop. During lateral tape displacement, an error signal is generated and the head is moved by the VCM to avoid track misregistration. However, the bandwidth of the VCM is limited, mainly due to mass and available power. LTM frequencies higher than the bandwidth of the servo actuator, generally referred to as high frequency LTM, cannot be...

The importance of head injuries to restrained far seat occupants has been previously documented. Control of the kinematics leading to these injuries can likely be achieved by improved torso lateral restraint. In adults, seat belt pre-tensioning reduced lateral head displacement by approximately 200 mm in far-side impacts. Children, however, may demonstrate greater lateral movement as previous s...
