Drought and high temperature are two major factors limiting maize productivity in sub-Saharan Africa.An increase in temperature above 30 °C reduces yield by 1% under optimal rain-fed condition and by 1.7% under drought stress (DS) and up to 40% under combined drought and heat stress (DSHTS).Approaches that improve performance under the two str
In this work, we construct elliptic analogues of Bath Cup the rook numbers and file numbers by attaching elliptic weights to the cells in a board.We show that our elliptic rook and file numbers satisfy elliptic extensions of corre- sponding factorization theorems which in the classical case were established by Goldman, Joichi and White and by Garsi
Sta-Rite Max-E-Pro Parts Guillaume Amontons (1663-1705) was an experimentalist who devoted himself to the improvement of instruments employed in physical experiments, particularly the barometer, and the thermometer.Of special note are a folded barometer, a cisternless barometer to be used at sea, and a hygrometer of his invention.He experimented wi
Aim and Background: Pain is the most common and unpleasant symptom of diseases, which causes hemodynamic changes if left untreated.Considering the importance of pain, we decided to determine the effect of ketamine infusion on the post-operative pain and hemodynamic status in addict patients undergoing cardiac surgery.Materials and Methods: In this
The Atlantic Goliath Grouper Epinephelus itajara (Lichtenstein, 1822) occurs on both sides of the Atlantic, from the Carolinas (USA) to Brazil in the western Atlantic and historically from North Senegal to North Angola off of West Africa in the eastern Atlantic.While there are relatively good data on their distribution in the western Atlantic, conf
