The solid-phase epitaxial growth kinetics of amorphized (011) Si with application of in-plane 2 11 1⁄2 uniaxial stress to magnitude of 0.9 0.1 GPa were studied. Tensile stresses did not appreciably change the growth velocity compared with the stress-free case, whereas compression tended to retard the growth velocity to approximately one-half the stress-free value. The results are explained usin...

Investigation on diversity of stomata from 13 species of family Euphorbiaceae has been carried out. Characters like type of stomata, position of stomata, presence/absence of ledge, and density both abaxial and adaxial leaf surface were examined. Stomata characters in the family were found quite diverse in this study. Monophyletic nature of Euphorbiaceae has been proved in this study on the basi...

by Juliet Berry Rout ledge and Kegan Paul (library of Social Work), 90p Getting through this book is like getting along a public footpath which has become overgrown with brambles; you've got a vague idea where you're going, but the spikes keep catching in the sleeves of your woolly. Let's have a quote to see if we can catch the stylistic flavour: 'When the care of an immigrant toddler is distri...

Asking the clinical question Evidence-based primary care practice requires that clinicians draw on the best available research to facilitate their decision-making. The first step in this procedure is to source the relevant research literature, and this is dependant on asking a well-designed clinical question. There are two types of question that can be asked, and the type helps to determine whi...

Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a rare condition which manifests itself by gingival overgrowth covering teeth to variable degree i.e. either isolated or as part of a syndrome. This paper presented two cases of generalized and severe HGF in siblings without any systemic illness. HGF was confirmed based on family history, clinical and histological examination. Management of both the cas...

P ostoperative adhesions are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in surgical patients. The use of prosthetic meshes in abdominal surgery increases the formation of adhesions by triggering an inflammatory reaction to a foreign body. Although several animal studies have shown that implantation of the composite polypropylene and hyaluronate-carboxymethylcellulose mesh Sepramesh (Genzyme Biosu...
