A study was undertaken to analyses the heritability, correlation and path co-efficient for growth and fruit characters in twenty ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam) genotypes grown at Fruit Research Farm under Horticulture Research Centre, BARI during January to June 2006. The highest range of variation was recorded in fruit weight (6.63-44.72 g), followed by yield per plant (14.88 64.99 kg), stone w...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to identify predictive factors of success following a single-session of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) at 3 weeks of follow-up in our center. MATERIAL AND METHODS The medical records of 116 patients with solitary urinary calculi who underwent single-session SWL in our department between October 2007 and August 2009 were reviewed. All preoperative unenhance...

Out of all methods for ground improvement, stone column became more popular these days due to its simple construction and economic consideration. Installation of stone column especially in loose fine graded soil causes increasing in load bearing capacity and settlement reduction. Encased granular stone columns (EGCs) are commonly subjected to vertical load. However, they may also be subjected t...

Dens invaginatus (dens in dente) is a rare malformation with a widely varied morphology. An unusual presentation of a type III dens invaginatus affecting a conical shaped permanent lateral incisor in an 8-year-old female patient is reported. The presence of a pulp stone and a periapical radiolucency further added onto the complexity of the case. The etiology, pathophysiology, association with o...

We present an algorithm for tracking the position of a curling stone from broadcast footage of curling events. Due to the constant panning of the camera in addition to perspective changes in the image, this introduces a need for image rectification and tracking of the camera view on the ice. We break the algorithm in four distinct components: rectification, frame tracking, stone tracking, and l...

For a finite real reflection group W with Coxeter element γ we give a uniform proof that the closed interval, [I, γ] forms a lattice in the partial order on W induced by reflection length. The proof involves the construction of a simplicial complex which can be embedded in the type W simplicial generalised associahedron.

Gall-stone ileus associated with tuberculous strictures is an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction related to a cholecystoenteric fistula. The stone usually obstructs the narrowest part of the intestine. The patient whose intestine is strictured due to tuberculosis or other disease, the stone can impact that part of the strictured area. We report such a case of gall-stone ileus in a patient of 8...

Management of solid wastes is considered as an economic and environmental issue in the building stone industry. The current study uses raw and calcined calcareous sludge, generated in the stone cutting factories, in order to remove sulfur dioxide. Sludge characterization has been performed, using X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-d...
