A prospective observational study was carried out in DMCH and some other private clinics in Dhaka from January 2008 to March 2010. A total of 15 patients with exposed Tendo-Achillis with or without tendon injury were taken in this study . M:F= 13:2. Age range was 1845 years. In 13 cases Tendo-achillis (TA) were cut and repaired in emergency department of DMCH and other Hospitals followed by los...

Torpor bouts of mammalian hibernators are generally shorter at the beginning and end and are consistently longer during the main part of the hibernation season. Because it is not known why the duration of torpor bouts changes at the beginning and end of the hibernation season, we studied thisphenomenon in two sciurid rodents: Spermophilus saturatus (200-300g) and Eutamias amoenus (45-60g). We e...

When we walk in a challenging environment, we use visual information to modify our gait and place our feet carefully on the ground. Here, we explored how central common drive to ankle muscles changes in relation to visually guided foot placement. Sixteen healthy adults aged 23 ± 5 years participated in the study. Electromyography (EMG) from the Soleus (Sol), medial Gastrocnemius (MG), and the d...

The structure and microhardness of Cu-Ta joints produced by explosive welding were studied. It was found that, during explosive welding, an intermediate layer 20⋯40  μ m thick with a finely dispersed heterophase structure, formed between the welded copper and tantalum plates. The structure of the layer was studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Microvolumes with tantalum part...

In this paper, spatial modulation (SM) is introduced to layered division multiplexing (LDM) systems for enlarging the spectral efficiency over broadcasting transmission. Firstly, the SM aided LDM (SM-LDM) system is proposed, in which different layered services utilize SM for terrestrial broadcasting transmission with different power levels. Then a spectral efficiency (SE) analysis framework for...

An experiment was conducted, from 22 to 42-d-post-hatch, to evaluate the effect of different combinations of carbohydrases (CHS), citric acid (CA) and high-dose phytase in wheat-canola meal-based diets with very low content of non-phytate phosphorus (NPP) on growth performance, plasma calcium (Ca) and P and tibia ash (TA) content of broiler chickens. One hundred and ninety two 21-d-old male chi...
