Presence of fibroids in the absence of uterus- Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome with fibroids: a case report

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is rare congenital anomaly with complete absence of uterus and upper part of vagina. Fibroids are one of the most common benign tumours arising in women. Fibroids arising from Mullerian remnants are very rare. These fibroids often pose difficulty in diagnosis and management. Here, we report a rare case of fibroids arising from Mullerian remnants in MRKH syndrome and the treatment provided for the patient

Genetic diversity analysis using molecular marker in Terminalia chebula

Terminalia chebula is an important medicinal plant, extensively used in Ayurveda, Unani and Homoeopathic medicines. The present study was aimed to reveal its genetic diversity based on molecular markers from twelve T. chebula accessions. Molecular diversity was studied using RAPD markers. A total of 8 polymorphic primers produced 314 polymorphic bands and 195 monomorphic bands. Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPMGA) dendrogram divided the accessions into 2 major clusters. Accession IIHRTc2 and IIHRTc10 showed maximum genetic diversity with 55% similarity. This characterization based on molecular markers will help in identification of economically useful accessions for further crop improvement programme

Structure and glass-forming ability of simulated Ni-Zr alloys

Binary Cu-Zr system is a representative bulk glassformer demonstrating high glass forming ability due to pronounced icosahedral local ordering. From the first glance, Ni-Zr system is the most natural object to expect the same behavior because nickel and copper are neighbours in the periodic table and have similar physicochemical properties. However, doing molecular dynamics simulations of $\rm Ni_{\alpha}Zr_{1-\alpha}$ alloys described by embedded atom model potential, we observe different behaviour. We conclude that the Ni-Zr system has the same glass-forming ability as an additive binary Lennard-Jones mixture without any chemical interaction. The structural analysis reveals that icosahedral ordering in Ni-Zr alloys is much less pronounced than that in the Cu-Zr ones. We suggest that lack of icosahedral ordering due to peculiarities of interatomic interactions is the reason of relatively poor glass-forming ability of Ni-Zr system

Long Term Variations of Ionospheric Horizontal Drift and Anisotropy of E-region Irregularities at Waltair

The study of long term variation of drift and anisotropy parameters of E region irregularities is particularly important because of the fact that D1 method measures movements of ionization that corresponds with neutral air motion in this region and facilitates a comparison with other methods of measuring winds in this region. The study of horizontal movements of small scale ionospheric irregularities at Waltair (17.70 N; 83.30 E) using D1 technique was started as early as I.G.Y.period. In this paper we present the results of observations of the drift and anisotropy parameters of ionospheric irregularities during equinox season over a span of about 10 years from 1957 to 1966 covering both the I.G.Y.and I.Q.S.Y.periods.About 140 midday (10-14 hrs) E-region drift records taken on frequency of 2.4 MHz are selected for the present study. There is an overall increase observed in the velocity parameters Va, V and Vc with the increase of sunspot number. The structure size, a of the irregularities shows a negative variation with sunspot number, decreasing magnitude with increase in sunspot number. There seem to be seasonal variation in the long term variation of some of the drift parameters with respect to solar epoch at Waltair.

ABSTRACT Ninety-eight ewe lambs (14.9 kg ±0.63) divided into four groups at random were subjected to four feeding regimes to evaluate the effects of feed restriction on the body weight gain in a CRD model. The feed restriction was at four levels viz-0, 20, 30 and 40 percent for T1 (Control), T2, T3 and T4 for the four groups, respectively. The duration of the trial was for 105 days containing preliminary (up to 18 kg), restriction (5 weeks) and realimentation (5 weeks) periods. The decrease is significantly (P<0.05) different among groups and the increase in weight gain for the first group was 6.54, 17.7 and 23.8 percent higher as compared to groups 2, 3 and 4, respectively during feed restriction. The body weights recorded were significantly different (P<0.05) during realimentation phase. The increase in weight or compensatory growth for groups 2, 3 and 4 as compared to group 1 was in the order of 2>3>4 and it was 15. 6% and 13.4% higher for groups 4 and 3 as compared to group 2. It was concluded that the lambs can be feed restricted up to 40% and the loss in weight can be recouped with the phenomenon of compensatory growth

Two-charge small black hole entropy: String-loops and multi-strings

We investigate the inclusion of 10-dimensional string loop corrections to the entropy function of two-charge extremal small black holes of the heterotic string theory compactified on S^1 x T^5 and show that the entropy is given by \pi\sqrt{a q_1 q_2+b q_1} where q_1 and q_2 are the charges with q_1 >> q_2 >> 1 and a and b are constants. Incorporating certain multi-string states into the microstate counting, we show that the new statistical entropy is consistent with the macroscopic scaling for one and two units of momentum (winding) and large winding (momentum). We discuss our scaling from the point of view of related AdS_3 central charge and counting of chiral primaries in superconformal quantum mechanics as well.Comment: 18 page

Measurement of 92Mo(n,α)89Zr and 97Mo(n,p)97Nb reactions at the neutron energy 13.52 MeV with covariance analysis

218-222The cross sections have been estimated for the Nuclear reactions 92Mo(n,α)89Zr and 97Mo(n,p)97Nb produced in Purnima neutron generator at neutron energy of 13.52±0.0045 MeV using activation analysis and off-line γ -ray spectrometric techniques. 27Al(n,α)24Na has been used as a monitor reaction. The covariance analysis for these cross sections has been carried out by taking into consideration of partial uncertainties of different attributes and correlations between the attributes. The cross section values of the present study have been compared with EXFOR, ENDF data of various libraries and theoretical data of TALYS-1.8 code

A deformation of AdS_5 x S^5

We analyse a one parameter family of supersymmetric solutions of type IIB supergravity that includes AdS_5 x S^5. For small values of the parameter the solutions are causally well-behaved, but beyond a critical value closed timelike curves (CTC's) appear. The solutions are holographically dual to N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a non-conformally flat background with non-vanishing R-currents. We compute the holographic energy-momentum tensor for the spacetime and show that it remains finite even when the CTC's appear. The solutions, as well as the uplift of some recently discovered AdS_5 black hole solutions, are shown to preserve precisely two supersymmetries.Comment: 16 pages, v2: typos corrected and references adde

Extremal single-charge small black holes: Entropy function analysis

We study stretched horizons of the type AdS_2 x S^8 for certain spherically symmetric extremal small black holes in type IIA carrying only D0-brane charge making use of Sen's entropy function formalism for higher derivative gravity. A scaling argument is given to show that the entropy of this class of black holes for large charge behaves as \sqrt{|q|} where q is the electric charge. The leading order result arises from IIA string loop corrections. We find that for solutions to exist the force on a probe D0-brane has to vanish and we prove that this feature persists to all higher derivative orders. We comment on the nature of the extremum of these solutions and on the sub-leading corrections to the entropy. The entropy of other small black holes related by dualities to our case is also discussed.Comment: 19 pages, v2:typos corrected and references adde
