Hump-nosed viper bite is the commonest venomous snakebite in Sri Lanka. Acute kidney injury (AKI) in association with coagulopathy is an important cause of mortality. Immunomodulating effects of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) could block the nephrotoxic effects of venom; and by replenishing depleted clotting factors resulting from venom induced consumption coagulopathy could offer an additional bene...

Objective The objective of this work is to assess the relationship between morphological characteristics a central tumour and perioperative outcomes robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). Subjects Methods We retrospectively analysed data from 186 patients with tumours involving renal sinus, who underwent RAPN in single-centre study February 2015 June 2022. All cases were assigned RENAL neph...

Abstract Abundant agricultural waste could be used to improve plant growth. This study was obtain the nutrient characteristics and growth regulators (PGR) of organic (eggshells, banana peels, moringa leaves, onion bean sprouts, hump) which have potential as liquid fertilizer (LOF). research conducted from July August 2022 using a descriptive-analytic method. Organic fermented anaerobically. The...

In the selective withdrawal experiment fluid is withdrawn through a tube with its tip suspended a distance S above a two-fluid interface. At sufficiently low withdrawal rates, Q, the interface forms a steady state hump and only the upper fluid is withdrawn. When Q is increased (or S decreased), the interface undergoes a transition so that the lower fluid is entrained with the upper one, forming...

Recent behavioral findings in children’s selection of a “real” versus “silly” animal demonstrated a developmental change wherein younger children select chimeric animals with regular forms (e.g., a seal with four legs, a camel with no hump) as real. To reduce verbal demands while maintaining the same stimuli, we developed a touch screen change-detection task in which children (4 – 7-years-old) ...

Macrophytes show a zonal distribution along the lake littoral zone because of their specific preferred water depths while the optimum growth water depths of dominant submersed macrophytes in natural lakes are not well known. We studied the seasonal biomass and frequency patterns of dominant and companion submersed macrophytes along the water depth gradient in Lake Erhai in 2013. The results sho...

Previously measured uncertainty shocks using the U.S. data show a hump-shape time path: Uncertainty rises for two years before its decline. Current literature on the effects uncertainty on macroeconomics, including housing, has not accounted for this observation. Consequently, the literature on uncertainty and macroeconomics is divided on the effects and the propagation mechanism of uncertainty...

Malate dehydrogenase, α-esterase and β-esterase isoenzymes have been analyzed by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in different tissues (liver, kidney, muscle and hump) of the Arabian Camel, Camelus dromedaries in order to study the tissue specificity of these isoenzymes. Malate dehydrogenase recorded three fractions while both esterases recorded two fractions in different studied tissu...

The presence of a deformation or hump in the subthreshold region of the transfer characteristic of Amorphous Oxide Semiconductor (AOS) Thin-Film Transistors (TFTs) has been observed after DC stress and related to different causes. In previous works, it has been shown that in devices with active-layer thickness greater than 120 nm, a region with relatively high conductivity remains near the back...

This paper focuses on the study of the change of various types of riding behaviour, such as speed, brake force, and throttle force applied, when they ride across the speed table. An instrumented motorcycle equipped with various types of sensor, on-board camera, and data logger was used in acquiring the traffic data in the research. Riders were instructed to ride across two speed tables and the ...
