This study was carried out for determination and
discrimination vegetation by Eco-phytosociology method. Flora of this area was
determined by using available references. Based on collection we encountered
about 290 specimens that belong to 167 genera and 41 families. The largest
families in the area are Asteraceae (47 genera), Poaceae (34 genera), Lamiaceae
(30 genera), Caryophylaceae (18 genera) Papilonaceae (17 genera). The floristic
composition of the area is strongly influenced by large numb...

A carotid body tumour (CBT) is a rare form of an
extra-adrenal pheochromocytoma. They are commonly diagnosed as asymptomatic
neck masses. A careful preoperative evaluation is required to find out the
functional and vascular status of these tumours. Herein, we report two cases of
carotid body paraganglioma, their evaluation and surgical management.

Background: Intimate partner violence is recognized
as a worldwide serious public health problem. It can cause serious injury,
disability or death. Risk factors for intimate partner violence during
pregnancy are often similar to risk factors for intimate partner violence in
general. Objectives: To assess the prevalence and associated factors of
intimate partner violence during pregnancy among recently delivered women in
public health facilities of Hossana Town, Hadiya Zone, Southern Ethiopia, 20...

This study was conducted to determine phosphorus
sorption characteristics of five soils from contrasting parent materials in south-eastern
Nigeria. The soils were collected from Ikom (basalt), Akamkpa (basement complex),
Bende (shale), Amaeke (sand stone) and Umudike (coastal plain sand). The
standard P requirements for the soils were calibrated from the sorption curves,
and the values were very low ranging from 11.1 mg·kg ﹣1 in
Bende to 60.2 mg·kg ﹣1 in Ikom. The P maximum
s...

The electrostatic and Born-Mayer repulsive
potentials method was used to calculate the higher order elastic constants and
pressure derivatives of alkaline-earth oxide CaO in a wide temperature range
(100 - 1000 K). The calculations have been made starting from primary physical
parameters viz. nearest-neighbour
distance and hardness parameter assuming long- and short- range potentials. The
different results of the calculations are compared with experimental data and
discussed.

A simple method to determine zoledronic acid and
impurities in drug by ion chromatography with conductivity detection was
developed. Target analytes have been sufficiently separated from each other on
an Ionpac AS19 by using potassium hydroxide as eluent with a self-regeneration
suppressor. This novel proposed method enables direct analysis of zoledronic
acid in injection sample and provides good resolution. This novel method also exhibits
satisfactory precision (less than 1.68%) and accuracy (9...

The review of the results of time analysis at the
range of high-energy nuclear collisions (with the bombarding-particle energies
near 0.1 - 10 GeV/nucleon) is presented. It was shown that the formation of time resonances (explosions) in the
decays of compound nuclei or final clots at the range of dense strongly
overlapped energy resonances was possible. These time resonances rather well
explain a lot of the experimental data.

The differential operator of the ordinary
differential equation (ODE) is represented as the sum of two operators: basic
and supplementing operators. The order of the higher derivatives of a basic
operator and ODE operator should coincide. If the basic operator has explicit
system of fundamental solutions it is possible to make integral equation
Volterra of II kind. For linear equations the approximate solutions of the
integral equation are system of the approximate fundamental solutions of the
i...

Background: Measurement of Viral Load (VL) is the
most reliable mean for evaluating virological monitoring of the Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. It allows determination of the amount
of virus present in a given volume. Due to the constraints of costs, the VL is
not often requested for patient’s follow-up in countries with limited
resources. Hence the objective of this study is to implement an in-house Quantitative Real-Time PCR to
assess the VL of HIV infected patients in K...

Introduction:
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a complex disorder caused by the interaction
between genetic predisposition and environmental factors. Genetics plays an important
role on lipid homeostasis. Many genes are involved in the lipid metabolism, such
as FABP-2 and PPAR- γ. Aim: To evaluate
the association between specific SNPs and haplotypes of the FABP-2 and PPAR- γ genes with T2DM and lipid profile in an
Argentinean population. Methods: The FABP-2 (rs1799883)
and PPAR- ...
