The accurate measurement of tissue mineral density, rho(m), in specimens of unequal size or quantities of bone mineral using polychromatic microCT systems is important, since studies often compare samples with a range of sizes and bone densities. We assessed the influence of object size on microCT measurements of rho(m) using (1) hydroxyapatite rods (HA), (2) precision-manufactured aluminum foa...

The study was carried out at Vegetable Research Station, TNAU, Palur, Tamil Nadu during 2021to2022. experiment laid in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with eight treatments and three replications. Planting materials used for the were bulbs bulblets. nutrient combinations tried foliar application of micronutrient like zinc sulphate (0.2%), Ferrous (0.5%), Copper (0.4%) Boric acid (0.2%)...

The development of the gastric lesion is complex and the result of the imbalance between aggressive and protective factors, involving the generation of free radicals and disturbance in nitric oxide (NO) production. Sulphated polysaccharides (SP), from marine algae, are widely used in biotechnological and pharmaceutical areas. In this study, we evaluated the effects of SP from the green marine a...

BACKGROUND Gejang (marinated crab) is a favorite traditional food and a main source of crab intake among Koreans. The present study aimed to identify the possibility of cadmium inflow to the body through gejang; accordingly, the relationship between gejang intake frequency and amount, and blood cadmium concentrations was investigated. METHODS Using data from the first Korea National Health an...

An all{to{all broadcast algorithm that exploits concurrent communication on all channels of the Connection Machine system CM{200 binary cube network is described. Issues in integrating a physical all{to{all broadcast between processing nodes into a language environment using a global address space is dicussed. Timings for the physical broadcast between nodes, and the virtual broadcast are given...

plant spacing and nitrogen are the most important factors for increasing tuberose quality and quantity. in this study, field experiment carried out as factorial randomized completely block design (rcbd) in 3 replications. different levels of nitrogen (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg/ha) of ammonium nitrate was used. second factor was different plant spaces (10, 15, 20 and 25 cm). results showed th...

We present recent results of an extensive aging test, performed at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility, on two bakelite Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) detectors. With a method based on a model describing the behavior of an RPC exposed to a large particle flux, we have periodically measured the electrode resistivity r of the two detectors over 3 years. We observed a large increase of r with time...

The production and consumption of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) in soil profile are poorly understood. This work sought to quantify the GHG production and consumption at seven depths (0-30, 30-60, 60-90, 90-150, 150-200, 200-250 and 250-300 cm) in a long-term field experiment with a winter wheat-summer maize rotation system, and four N a...
