Pain in pharynx is one of the leading complaints
raised by patients with the common diagnosis pointing to: sore throat,
odynophagia, pharyngitis and tonsillitis [1] . Recently, an
interesting case of a 47-year-old patient (male-dentist) who claimed to have
acquired a sudden sharp pain in pharynx (throat) location was observed. The
absurd strength of the pain prevented the patient to even hold short-length verbal communicat...

This study deals with the grinding of mill scale in
a laboratory ball mill for different milling time then briquetted by using 2% molasses
as a binder and investigates the effect of grinding of mill scale for different
time on the physicochemical properties and the reduction degree of the mill
scale briquettes via hydrogen. Diffusion process control equation was applied and the energy of activation was calculated = 28.33 kJ/mole.

Security mechanism is a fundamental requirement of
wireless networks in general and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) in particular. The
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) has become a critical component of wireless
sensor networks security strategy. There are several architectures for embedding
IDS in WSN. Due to Energy Limitation, in this paper we use a distributed
architecture which activates intrusion detection system for limited number of
nodes. For this purpose we select a secure set of nodes c...

A frequency modulation broadcast station trainer
was developed to expose the students to the basic equipment needed in radio
broadcasting. The cost of portable FM broadcast trainer is much lower than the
cost of the traditional commercially available equipment because of the
materials used. The FM broadcast trainer is laboratory equipment that can be
used by schools offering academic programs in industrial courses specifically
Electronics and Communication Technology courses. At present there is...

Addiction is characterized by loss of control over
substance use, often operationally defined as continued use of substances
despite knowledge of adverse consequences. The exact cause of addiction is not
known, but it’s hypothesized that both environmental and genetic factors play a
crucial role in the predisposition of this disease. When an individual abruptly
stops using a drug or an addictive substance, withdrawal symptoms often take
place, which include vomiting, nausea, loss of appetite and...

Haemagglutination
studies on lectin from both wild (SCW) and mutant strains (SCM1, SCM2, SCM3) of Schizophyllum commune using human
blood were explored in this study after six days of submerged fermentation.
Haemagglutination assay showed that the lectin from all the strains showed
slight discrimination in their haemmaglutinating activity against human blood
group with st...

In this paper, a possible
applicability of artificial neural networks to predict the elastic modulus of composites
with ellipsoidal inclusions is investigated. Besides it, based on the general micromechanical
unit cell approach, theoretical formula is also developed, for effective elastic
modulus of composites containing randomly dispersed ellipsoidal in homogeneities. Developed theoretical model considers ...

TiO 2 nanotubes were used to prepare
gas sensor and the gas sensing properties towards toluene were analyzed.
Titania nanotube arrays were fabricated via electrochemical anodization method in
glycerol electrolytes containing NH 4F. The sensor fabricated from
these nanotubes exhibits a good response to toluene at room temperature with
good sensitivity. The toluene sensing properties were tested from 20 to 150 ppm
concentrations.

Duodenogastric reflux (DGR) is a poorly
understood gastrointestinal process that is defined as reflux of duodenal
contents into the stomach. Therapeutic biliary procedures disrupt the function
of the sphincter of Oddi. Patients are potential “bile refluxers”. Methods: The
present study was carried out to document the incidence and evaluate the
clinical significance of DGR after cholecystectomy (n = 9) and choledochoduodenostomy
(CDD) (n = 6). Duodenogastric reflux was quantified using continuous...

The radiated tortoise (Astrochelys radiata) of Madagascar is critically endangered with
extinction. The Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA) oversees the in-situ captive breeding program for this species and assesses the suitability of reintroduction from
captivity as a management strategy is of great importance. 120 adult and
juvenile animals from the quarantine center Mangily/Ifaty (30 km north of
Toliara) and 24 resident animals from Ampotaka and Tranovaho will ...
