A total of 1947 farms from the Pomerania and Kujawy regions were analysed for the effect of type of pen (with or without litter) on the cytological quality of milk, taking into account the season of the year in the statistical calculations. It was found that in most barns, cows were kept in shallow litter stalls. Regardless of the season of the year, milk of the highest cytological quality was ...

A spontaneous mutant with natural seed-coat cracking, designated "cracked seed-coat mutant (CSM)," was identified in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) from an F(2) population of a cross ICRISAT chickpea (ICC) 10301 × ICC 12430. The extent of seed-coat cracking (SCC) varied widely from a minute to several wide cracks. Seed coats showed cracks before seeds were fully developed and the plants had reac...

Abstract This paper describes the bond strength comparison between concrete and reinforcement with several types of concrete. The studied were normal (NC), Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC), High-Volume Fly Ash (HVFAC), (HVFA-SCC). Research data obtained from previous studies. by testing reinforced beam a lap splice in tensile moment area. Bond values normalized dividing square root grade. Then us...

Human papilloma virus (HPV) is an etiologic agent in a subset of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). The aim of this study was to sub-classify SCC of the oropharynx based upon histologic features into nonkeratinizing (NK) SCC, keratinizing (K) SCC, and hybrid SCC, and determine the frequency of HPV and patient survival in each group. Patients with oropharyngeal SCC with a minimum of ...

PURPOSE Nonmelanoma skin cancer is the most common cancer and comprises basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The incidence of SCC increases drastically in immunosuppressed individuals, suggesting a critical role of the immune system in controlling SCC. To find an explanation for the selective immunosurveillance of SCC, we investigated the expression of cancer-testis (CT...
