At the age of 3.5 years, wild chimpanzees at Bossou, Guinea, begin to use hammer and anvil stones to crack oil-palm nuts to get the kernels. To clarify the developmental processes, the authors did a field experiment in which stones and oil-palm nuts were provided. Infant chimpanzees' stone-nut manipulation was observed and video recorded. Data were collected from 3 infants younger than 4 years ...

Areca nut consumption has been implicated in the progression of Oral Submucous fibrosis (OSF); an inflammatory precancerous fibrotic condition. Our previous studies have demonstrated the activation of TGF-β signaling in epithelial cells by areca nut components and also propose a role for epithelial expressed TGF-β in the pathogenesis of OSF. Although the importance of epithelial cells in the ma...

As part of an indoor multipath measurement system, discone antennas featuring simple N-connector feed systems have been fabricated for the . . 1.0 to 2.0 GHz band. Experimentation reveals that excellent performance (VSWR < 1.5 :1 across the band) can be obtained with a simple "snap-on" feed/mount method, and that VSWR is most sensitive to the diameter of the disc feed conductor. Performance dat...

a hickory-nut, but had now attained a longitudinal diameter of three inches, the lateral diameter being rather less: it projected above the surface about one and a half inches. It was decidedly fluctuating, and pressure produced marked uneasiness and flushing of the face. In the erect posture the tumor was tense and more resisting, but became soft and fluctuating when the child was laid on its ...

BACKGROUND There is some evidence which suggests that areca nut chewing has a relationship with metabolic syndrome. Areca nut chewing is continue to increase and so is the metabolic syndrome which is a major cause of cardiovascular mortality in developing countries. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of raw areca nut and areca nut chewing with tobacco additives and metaboli...

The demand for alternate fuels used in the operation of I.C engine is met with CNSL (Cashew nut shell liquid) a by-product of cashew industry which is considered as an economically suitable for producing biodiesel. Cashew nut shell liquid is obtained from the hard cashew nut shell, cardinal a natural phenol obtained from the pyrolysis of CNSL at reduced pressure. The viscosity of the cardinal i...
