Flowering phenology in a Eucalyptus loxophleba seed orchard, heritability and genetic correlation with biomass production and cineole: breeding strategy implications.

Reproductive synchronicity within a seed orchard facilitates gene exchange and reduces self-fertilisation. Here we assessed key flowering traits, biomass and foliar 1,8-cineole concentrations of Eucalyptus loxophleba (subsp. lissophloia and gratiae) in an open-pollinated seed orchard.

Seven-year follow-up of spontaneous bone regeneration following segmental mandibulectomy: Alternative option for mandibular reconstruction.

Bone formation in small deposits following the loss of part of the mandible has often been reported in the literature, but the long-term follow-up reports of bone regeneration extending over the mandible are rare. Even rarer, are reports on the behavior of such new bone in terms of facial development, over a long period and the effect of load on it. A unique case of bone regeneration after resection of a large portion of the mandible in a 9-year-old male patient with myxofibrosarcoma in the body of the mandible is presented here.

Study of serum bactericidal and splenic activity of Total-OMP- CagA combination from Brucella abortus and Helicobacter pylori in BALB/c mouse model.

Background: Brucella is a Gram-negative and facultative intracellular organism that causes brucellosis, a common zoonotic disease. Over 500,000 people are annually affected by brucellosis. Brucella is highly infectious through inhalation route; for this reason it is used for biological warfare aims.

On generalization based on bi et Al. Iterative methods with eighth-order convergence for solving nonlinear equations.

The primary goal of this work is to provide a general optimal three-step class of iterative methods based on the schemes designed by Bi et al. (2009). Accordingly, it requires four functional evaluations per iteration with eighth-order convergence.
