Crickets preferred hiding in dark places and are sensitive to light, farmers use egg trays, dried banana leaves and cardboards of tissue rolls to provide them comfort. They active at night to forage, mate, sing and laying eggs. Practicing polygamy one male could mate 1-5 females, and females laying eggs within 7-10 days after mating. The average egg production between 3,154 - 4,128 eggs/cycle. Wild crickets mate in the middle of rainy seasons when males produced unique sounds to attract females. Crickets eat leaves, vegetables and fruits. Feed containing 20%-22% protein could reduce cannibalism and accelerate growth. Providing high protein content (60%-70%) serve as alternatives in-feeds conventional ingredients for ruminants.

However, a more detailed analysis of the illegal drugs industry and the violence associated with it, demonstrates that their relationship is far more complex than causality alone. It is certainly not the case of drugs equalling violence, which have in fact became increasingly reinforcing of each other. By deconstructing layers of Colombian society throughout one of the most violent and notorious periods in the nation's history, including the role government, police, judicial and legal systems, the long running civil war with the Guerrillas, the role of the Paramilitaries and the 'Dirty War', and finally 'ordinary' criminal violence in rural and urban settings, this book investigates the deeper roots of drugs and violence in Colombia, and deconstructs the norms, narrative and common misconceptions between them. 80 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), whose main pathological substrate is atherosclerosis, constitutes a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the modern world. Physical inactivity, present in 85% of the population, is considered a risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. This investigation was conducted to determine the degree of physical activity in patients with ACS, using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, consorting with the in-hospital prognosis. It is an observational and analytical study, using 215 subjects, consecutively, admitted with a diagnosis of ACS in cardiology reference hospital from July 2009 to February 2011. All volunteers answered a short version of IPAQ and were followed regarding the appearance of cardiovascular events (CVE) during hospitalization from standardized assessment administered by the investigator, corroborated with data from medical records. It was verified the presence of ECV in 49.8% of the sample, with a linear trend in increasing frequency as a decrement in the level of physical activity. Therefore, it is concluded that physical inactivity predicts ECV during hospitalization of patients with ACS. 68 pp. Englisch.

Ultrasound (US) may detect mild splenomegaly before it is clinically palpable. Racial differences in splenic length could result in incorrect interpretation of splenic measurements & such differences would make it difficult to standardized expected splenic length & to determine non- palpable splenic enlargement. Aim of the study: to determine whether there is a constant ratio of the length of the spleen to the left kidney which could used to diagnose splenomegaly without reference to a nomogram. This is a cross-sectional study conducted among a total of 280 children ranging in age from birth to 20 years. US were used to measure maximum splenic & left kidney lengths to obtain normal values for splenic length & to determine spleen to left kidney ratio. The results show that the spleen to left kidney ratio is strikingly constant with mean value of 1 and splenomegaly should be suspected in children if the spleen is more than 1.25 times longer than the adjacent kidney. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -A hybrid method for analyzing vibrations of molecules and complexes with potential energy surface (PES), that is characterized by a high level of anharmonicity, is proposed in present book. Distinctive feature of the method is the accounting of all vibrational degrees of freedom. Here the full set of vibrational coordinates is divided into two subsets. The first one contains coordinates for which PES of the limited dimensionality is the most anharmonic one. The second one contains coordinates for which PES of limited dimensionality is close to the harmonic one. Accounting of the intrinsic anharmonicity and anharmonic interaction of coordinates of the first subset is carried out by the construction of multidimensional PES, followed by numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation. Accounting of the intrinsic anharmonicity and anharmonic interaction of coordinates of the second subset, as well as anharmonic interaction between coordinates of different subsets, is carried out in frame of the standard model using second-order perturbation theory. Testing of the hybrid method was performed mainly on the molecular systems with hydrogen bonds. 52 pp. Englisch.

Heparin is an acidic polysaccharide, characterized by a disaccharide repeating unit of hexosamine and uronic acid (L-iduronic or D-glucuronic acid) connected through 1-4 linkages.Heparin is heterogeneous due to the varying degree of modification of the functional groups in the disaccharide unit. Heparin may be hydrolyzed with acid only under vigorous condition which results in considerable caramelization, especially of the glucoronic acid and extensive splitting of heparin.Thus, the product are mono(or) disaccharides from which all the sulphated groups are removed. 60 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Prostate cancer, presents a high incidence worldwide and represents the second cause of cancer related deaths in men, after lung cancer. At present, the only noninvasive procedure used for prostate cancer early diagnosis is the measurement of serum prostate-specific antigen in blood. Since its introduction in 1982, it has been demonstrated that the mortality due to prostate cancer has been reduced. But, recently the use of serum PSA has been questioned because it has a low accuracy, especially regarding the specificity. In prostate cancer, new noninvasive diagnostic approaches are needed to replace the standard techniques. Molecular biomarkers has been demonstrated that play an important role in the diagnostic of some cancer types such as lung cancer, colon cancer, bladder cancer, and breast cancer and prostate cancer. Recently, a number of studies have shown the usefulness of molecular biomarkers in the early diagnosis and recurrence prediction in prostate cancer patients. 52 pp. Englisch.
