ABSTRACT Field experiments were carried out in the 1995/96 and 1996/97 cool dry seasons to determine the effect of grass mulching intensities on soil temperature, weed infestation and growth and yield of irrigated tomato at Maiduguri in the semi-arid zone of Nigeria. In these trials, soil temperature difference between 0700 hours and 1300 hours was two times lower in mulched treatments than unmulched control treatment, thus keeping the day time soil temperature below supra-optimum levels. Furthermore, ...

There seems to be little literature about the toxicity of the widely used garlic, which makes it important to investigate chemical elements as well as chemical compounds that could be present in garlic bulbs and their safety for human handlers and consumers. Phytochemical screening and elemental analysis of powdered bulb of Allium sativum L. and toxicological effects of its aqueous extract were investigated in experimental rabbits. Acute toxicity study was conducted following subcutaneous administration ...

Summary: Chemotherapy of African trypanosomiasis still remains far from being satisfactory, being severely limited by a number of factors including unacceptable toxicity, increasing parasite resistance, high cost and unavailability. There is an urgent need for therapeutic agents that are effective, affordable and accessible to the rural poor in Africa who bear most of the disease burden. The objective of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effects of Acacia nilotica in experimental Trypanosoma ...

Women experience major depression at roughly twice the rate of men. Inconclusive clinical evidences assist the notion that responsiveness to antidepressant pharmacotherapy is sexually dimorphic with the two sexes presenting differential responses when treated with tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). Notably, responsiveness to antidepressive agents presents marked inter-individual variability, the biological basis of which remains elusive. Herein, we sought to investigate putative sex differences to ...

Anxiety and depression are considered as stress-related disorders, which present considerable sex differentiation. In animal models of anxiety and depression sex differences have been described and linked to the sexually dimorphic hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenals (HPA) axis. The present study aimed to adjust corticosterone, the main HPA axis stress hormone, in male and female adrenalectomized rats with oral (25 μg/ml) corticosterone replacement (ADXR). Subsequently we investigated the behavioral performance ...

The rat Forced Swim Test (FST) is widely used to investigate the response to antidepressant treatment. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) elongate swimming duration during the FST, while climbing duration is unaffected. In the present study, we aimed to correlate behavioral effects of the SSRI sertraline in the FST with respective changes in the serotonergic activity of the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex. Male rats were subjected to the standard FST (two swim sessions in two consecutive ...

The feature [ATR] (Advanced Tongue Root) assumes a unique role of the tongue root in the production of [±ATR] vowels. However, whether the actual position of the tongue root accurately characterises vowel pairs distinguished by this feature has attracted some controversy. This paper tests the hypothesis that the [ATR] specification of a vowel maps onto a definite articulatory position of the tongue root. It further investigates whether such a mapping reflects which of the values of [ATR] is dominant in ...

This paper describes advanced tongue-root [ATR] harmony in Dagbani, a Gur language of Ghana, focusing on three distinct segments: triggers, targets, and blockers of [+ATR] harmony. Dagbani has a bidirectional [ATR] harmony, with [+ATR] as the dominant value. A root [i] triggers a left-to-right harmony targeting vowels in suffixes and clitics while the mid vowels [e, o] trigger a right-to-left direction of harmony targeting root vowels. There are two restrictions on harmony. First, a height similarity condition ...

In preclinical studies screening for novel antidepressants, male and female animals should be used. However, in a widely used antidepressant test, the forced swim test (FST), sex differences between males and females are not consistent. These discrepancies may discourage the inclusion of females in FST studies. In order to overcome this problem and provide a detailed insight regarding the use of female animals in the FST, we designed the following experiment and we performed a thorough analysis of ...

Cell culture involves a complex of processes of cell isolation from their natural environment (in vivo) and subsequent growth in a controlled environmental artificial condition (in vitro). Cells from specific tissues or organs are cultured as short term or established cell lines which are widely used for research and diagnosis, most specially in the aspect of viral infection, because pathogenic viral isolation depends on the availability of permissible cell cultures.

Gur (or Mabia) languages which are spoken in West Africa have so-called internally-headed relative clauses (IHRCs), but they have not received serious attention in syntactic and typological research on IHRCs. In this article, building on detailed first-hand data, we describe the syntax and semantics of IHRCs in five Gur languages: Buli, Dagaare, Dagbani, Gurene, and Kabiyé. It is demonstrated that their IHRCs refute the syntactic and semantic generalizations proposed in the literature (Gorbet 1976; ...
