D IAGNOSIS of periapical areas of rarefaction has always been a problem to the oral surgeon and general practitioner. A review of the literature reveals few studieF of apical roentgenolucent areas in the last 10 years. These investigations have concerned themselves mainly with teeth that have had extensive restorative and endodontic treatment. A study was undertaken to (I) evaluate, roentgenogr...

white been line wa8592-1 was first introduced in iran through the yield trail nurseries received fron ciat in 1991. in observation nurseries carried out during 1992 and 1993 cropping seasons, ten bean populations were evaluated for yield and other characteristics, and 60 lines were selected. preliminary and advanced yield trails carried out for six years (1995-2000) in four locations khomein, e...

The milk yields of 1824 cows were used to investigate the effect of lesion-specific causes of lameness, based on farmer treatment and diagnosis of lame cows, on milk yield. A three-level hierarchical model of repeated test day yields within cows within herds was used to investigate the impact of lesion-specific causes of lameness (sole ulcer, white line disease, digital dermatitis and other cau...

balo's concentric multiple scleroses (ms) is a rare demyelinating disease and a variant of multiple sclerosis. we report a case with interesting misleading clinical history and typical ri findings of balo disease. a 19-year-old girl presented with fever and left hemiparesis following dental procedure 15 days ago. on physical examination fever and left limbs forces loss were noted. on ct scan a ...

Outbreaks of coral disease have increased worldwide over the last few decades. Despite this, remarkably little is known about the ecology of disease in the Indo-Pacific Region. Here we report the spatiotemporal dynamics of a coral disease termed 'Acroporid white syndrome' observed to affect tabular corals of the genus Acropora on the southern Great Barrier Reef. The syndrome is characterised by...

The influence of a peripheral cue represented by a gray ring on responsivity to a subsequent target varies. When a vertical line inside a ring was a go target and a white small ring inside a ring was a no-go target, reaction time was shorter at the same location relative to a different location. However, no reaction time difference between the two locations occurred when a white cross inside th...

Context. We report the first discovery of argon in hot evolved stars and white dwarfs. We have identified the Ar  1063.55 Å line in some of the hottest known (Teff = 95 000−110 000 K) central stars of planetary nebulae and (pre-) white dwarfs of various spectral type. Aims. We determine the argon abundance and compare it to theoretical predictions from stellar evolution theory as well as fro...
