Neurogenic bladder is a general term encompassing various neurologic dysfunctions of the bladder and the external urethral sphincter.These can be caused by damage or disease.Therapeutic management options can be conservative, minimally invasive, or surgical.The current standard for surgical management is bladder augmentation using intestinal segmen
Simple solid-phase spectrophotometric method for free iron(III) determination
A simple and rapid solid-phase spectrophotometric procedure to determine free Fe(III) in environmental and biological samples is proposed.In particular, a deferoxamine (DFO) self assembled monolayer on mesoporous silica (DFO SAMMS) is Military Helicopter developed and here applied as a sensor for iron(III).The solid product became brownish when put
Nutritive values of seven high priority indigenous fodder tree species in pastoral and agro-pastoral areas in Eastern Ethiopia
Abstract Background Indigenous tree and shrub species are critical feed resources for the pastoralist and agro-pastoralist areas in Ethiopia.Nutritional and mineral composition of seven high priority leguminous indigenous tree species, (Acacia nilotica, Acacia tortilis and Tamarindus indica) and non-leguminous species (Berchemia discolour, Cordia s
MULTIPARAMETRIC AND HIERARCHICAL SPATIAL AUTOREGRESSIVE MODELS: THE EVALUATION OF THE MISSPECIFICATION OF SPATIAL EFFECTS USING A MONTE CARLO SIMULATION
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the spatial and hierarchical models for data generating Protection processes with spatial heterogeneity and spatial dependence at the higher level.The simulation for the m-SAR and HSAR models was used to discuss the consequences of spatial misspecification.We noticed that the misspecification of spatial homogene
NON-FARM LIVELIHOOD DIVERSIFICATION: STRATEGIES AND CONSTRAINTS IN SELECTED RURAL AND PERI-URBAN COMMUNITIES, GHANA
Non-farm livelihood diversification is an important livelihood strategy for rural households in Sub-Saharan Africa.However, the available evidence suggests that these strategies have received less attention; therefore, the constraints rural people face in venturing into the non-farm sector also remain unaddressed.In order to understand the liveliho
