Adsorption thermodynamics of carbofuran on acid and base saturated soils.

The adsorption of carbofuran on hydrogen, sodium, and calcium saturated soils has been studied at 25 and 50 degrees C. The adsorption data for all types of soils is in close agreement with Freundlich isotherms and yielded S-class isotherms. The maximum adsorption was observed in acid saturated soil. Therefore, it has been in accordance with the partial molal free energy changes (F) and Kd values. The adsorption has been lower at higher temperatures. The thermodynamic constant (KO), standard free energies (delta G degree), enthalpies (delta H degree), and entropy changes (delta S degree) have been calculated for predicting the nature of adsorption.

Interparietal bones in Nigerian skulls.

The study was conducted on 40 adult Nigerian skulls which were examined for the presence of interparietal and pre-interparietal bones. Only one interparietal bone was found (2.5% of the present series) while a single pre-interparietal bone was found in four skulls (10%) and multiple pre-interparietal bones in one skull (2.5%).

A non-metrical study of Nigerian cranium.

Incidence of non-metrical variants have been studied on 33 Nigerian adult male cranium of mixed race. The observations have been compared with those of Berry and Berry (1967) on Ashanti race of Nigerians. The significant divergence were seen in 11 variants.

Anthropometric study of male external genitalia of 320 healthy Nigerian adults.

Five basic measurements of the male external genitalia were studied in 320 healthy male medical students belonging to the various parts of Nigeria (West Africa). Their ages range from 17 to 23 years. The measurements were as follows: average length of the penis (81.6 +/- 0.94 mm); circumference of the penis (88.3 +/- 0.02 mm); circumference of the scrotum (212.6 +/- 2.48 mm); length of right testis (46.8 +/- 0.54 mm); width of right testis (32.4 +/- 0.37 mm); length of left testis (46.0 +/- 0.53 mm); and width of left testis (31.4 +/- 0.36 mm). The size of the genitalia increases with the increase in age in younger year groups. The adult stages of genitalia development are reached at the age of 21 years in 89.0% of the individuals. The growth of the genitalia is continued with the increasing height and weight, but this growth slows down after attaining a definite height and weight.

A study of nasolacrimal canal in crania from Uttar Pradesh (India).

The length of the nasolacrimal canal and the diameter of its superior aperture were measured in 200 adult skulls from Uttar Pradesh (India). The mean length of the right and left canals were 2.15 cm and 2.39 cm, respectively. The antero-posterior diameter of the superior aperture is more than that of the transverse diameter in both the sides. The right canal has got a larger transverse diameter. But its antero-posterior diameter is less than that of the left side. The correlations between the various measurements were calculated. A positive correlation between the canal length and the nose length has been observed.

A study of correlations and estimation of stature from hand length, hand breadth and sole length.

An attempt is made to find out possible correlations amongst hand length, hand breadth (stretched) and sole length and to derive a regression formula to estimate stature from them. The study was based on the measurement of 100 Nigerian adult male medical students of the Jos Medical School, Nigeria, between the ages of 20-30 years. The results show that there are significant correlations between the stature of an individual and hand length, hand breadth and sole length.

A cephalometric study of 500 adult male medical students of Uttar Pradesh.

Various measurements of the head and face were made on 500 male medical students of the S.N. College, Agra (India) and the possible indices were calculated. The regression lines were calculated between the nasal index and the upper facial index as well as between nasal index and the total facial index. A significant correlation was found between the above three indices. A formula was derived, by which if one index is known the other can be calculated.

Specific interaction of some non-steroidal compounds with the progesterone binding site of uteroglobin.

Uteroglobin binds progesterone with high affinity. A few substituted diphenyl ketones were observed to inhibit uteroglobin-progesterone binding in a dose-dependent manner. 4,4'-Dimethoxy-2-hydroxy benzophenone had relatively higher affinity for uteroglobin. The structure-activity relationship amongst the substituted diphenyl ketones indicated considerable sensitivity towards minor structural modifications. These observations offer a tool to investigate nonsteroidal compounds in relation to progesterone related functions of uteroglobin in pregnancy.
