Root Reconstruction with Total Replacement of Ascending Aorta Using Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest and Selective Cerebral Perfusion for Moderately Dilated Distal Ascending Aorta
(Scientific Research, 2013-07)Objective: We have occasionally encountered a moderately dilated distal ascending aorta while reconstructing an aortic root. We describe reconstruction of an extended root and ascending aorta using our current strategy. ... -
Determination and inheritance of phytic acid as marker in diverse genetic group of bread wheat
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-07)Phytic acid (Myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6 hexa-kisphophate) is a storage form of phosphorus and can accumulate to the levels as high as 35% in the wheat kernel. Phytic acid acts as an inhibitor for macronutrients as well as ... -
Quantitative detection of Streptococcus mutans from saliva using FTATM elute cards and real-time polymerase chain reaction
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-07)Dental caries is a localized, transmissible, pathological infection process that ends up in the destruction of hard dental tissue. Numerous reports have shown the close relationship between salivary levels of Streptococcus ... -
Genetic diversity of hybrid durian resulted from cross breeding between Durio kutejensis and Durio zibethinus based on random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs)
(Scientific Research Publishing, 2013-07)One of the ways to improve the quality of Indonesian Durian is by utilizing germplasm diversity. Durio zibethinus is the most cultivated durian in Indonesia, whereas Durio kutejensis is a unique durian cultivar which has ... -
The Research of Performance Comparison of Displacement and Mixing Ventilation System in Catering Kitchen
(Scientific Research, 2013-07)A commercial kitchen is a complicated environment where multiple components of a ventilation system including hood exhaust, conditioned air supply, and makeup air systems work together but not always in unison. And the ... -
Late Presentation of a Congenital Intrinsic Duodenal Obstruction in a Patient with Anorectal Malformation
(Scientific Research, 2013-07)Anorectal Malformations are known to be associated with various other congenital anomalies including duodenal atresia. An association of congenital intrinsic duodenal obstruction causing partial duodenal obstruction in a ... -
Comparative Study on Heavy Metals Biosorption by Different Types of Bacteria
(Scientific Research, 2013-07)Biosorption of Cd(II), Ag(I) and Au(III) by cyanobacteria Spirulina platensis, of Au(II)—by Streptomyces spp. 19H, and of Cr(VI) and Cr(III)—by Arthrobacter species was studied by using the dialysis and atomic absorption ... -
Heavy Metal Contaminated Food Crops Irrigated with Wastewater in Peri Urban Areas, Zambia
(Scientific Research, 2013-07)Studies on peri urban farming in Zambia have not adequately tackled the issues pertaining to heavy metal contaminated wastewater irrigation farming. The study investigated heavy metal contamination of water, soils and ... -
Assessment of Heavy Metals Immobilization in Artificially Contaminated Soils Using Some Local Amendments
(Scientific Research, 2013-07)Three alluvial soil samples with different textures were artificially polluted with chloride solutions of Cd, Pb, Co and chromate solution for Cr. The aqua-regia extracted concentration ranges in the artificially polluted ... -
