Meloidogyne incognita-infected and noninfected tubers of yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus) and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) were treated with 56 L/ha 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) in microplots and subsequently examined for tuber and nematode viability in the greenhouse using a chile pepper (Capsicum annuum) bioassay system. The study was conducted three times. Nutsedge tuber viability a...

The results are presented of a series of herbicide experiments conducted on two soils in Natal; a heavy clay and a light sand respectively having high and low organic matter contents. The experiments were designed to evaluate preand post-emergent herbicide treatments on the specific weeds Panicum muximum, Cyperus rotundus, C. esculentus and annual grasses. Alachlor/2,4-D was the most successful...

results in 41 of 186 (22%) hands, the palmaris longus tendon was absent and absence of the fifth flexor digitorum tendon was noted in eight (4.30 %). the median surface area in the hands without palmaris longus was meaningfully lower than the hands with it (p = 0.025), while the difference in the median surface area was not statistically significant with regard to presence of the fifth flexor d...

Cyperus rotundus, Caesalpinia bonducella, Tinospora cordifolia, Gardenia gummifera, Ailanthus excelsa, Acacia arabica, Embelia ribes and Ventilago maderspatana from Melghat forest were screened for their antibacterial potential against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Salmonella typhi, Shigella flexneri, Salmonella paratyphi, Salmonella typhimuri...

The palmaris longus muscle is one of the most variable muscles in human anatomy. During a routine anatomical dissection for medical students at Tottori University, we found duplicate palmaris longus muscles in the bilateral forearms together with the palmaris profundus muscle in the right forearm. The bilateral aberrant palmaris longus muscles were observed at the ulnar side of the palmaris lon...

Most cases of club foot (congenital talipes equinovarus) respond to non-operative treatment but resistant cases may need surgery. It is broadly accepted that lengthening of tendo Achillis, the tendon of tibialis posterior and capsulotomy of the ankle and subtalar joints are necessary during surgical release, but there is no consensus as to whether lengthening of the tendons of flexor hallucis l...

Electromyography (EMG) -based control is the most convenient and robust way to classify body movements for controlling prosthetic as well orthotic devices. Its translation from lab-based approach assistive devices demands a problem-centric cost-effective solution. This paper demonstrates its utility classification of four foot movements, viz Plantar flexion, Dorsi Eversion Inversion. For experi...
