Abstract Background : Anthropologists are often faced with the task of assigning sex to remains that are incomplete, fragmented or damaged as may result from incidents such as mass disasters, airplane crashes, fire, explosions or physical violence. The size of foramen magnum does not change after puberty, not related to age then after. It is this part of the cranial base which can withstand fire explosions as the area is covered by large amount of soft tissue. Hence the foramen magnum was considered for studying the sexual differences in skull. Aims : To analyse the morphology and morphometry of foramen magnum, and the impact of these variables on sex determination of skull. Materials and Methods : 68 male and 68 female adult dry skulls were used for the study. The shapes of foramen magnum were studied. Results : In total, oval was the most common shape comprising of 61.76%, 16.17% arrow head, 11.76% irregular and 10.29% round. The sagittal diameter was 33.0 [28-40] mm in males and 33.0 [28-43] in females and transverse diameters of foramen magnum were 27[21-31] in males and 26.0[23-33]mm in females. Area of foramen magnum was calculated using Radinsky and Teixeria formulae and foramen magnum index was calculated. Mean, standard deviation and median [where ever required] were calculated. Student t test and Mann Whitney U test/ T test were applied. We did not find significant difference between male and female values. Conclusion : Our study did not demonstrate statistically significant difference in expression of sexual differences in the foramen magnum. However if detailed analysis is done with greater sample size by discriminant function analysis, it may prove useful in predicting sex in severely fragmented cranial bases.

The presented paper deals with attenuation of seismic waves, which depends on the degree of disintegration of the rock environment in which seismic waves are propagated due to the explosion of explosive charges during blasting operations. Measurements of the impact of seismic waves were conducted to determine the best possible way to absorb these waves. The aim of the article is to identify the existence of a critical distance and the determination of the critical point from which the propagation of the velocity is not dependent on the type of deposit and the environment in which the seismic wave propagates. Statistical methods were used for these findings. The result is the determination of the distance of 80 m in which the speed on the individual deposits varied. From this limit on, there was no significant difference in the speed of propagation on the individual deposits.

Abstract The official AOAC manual Kjeldahl methods for determining crude protein in animal feeds have several disadvantages. For the HgO catalyst method, there are environmental concerns and a lengthy digestion. For the CuS04 catalyst method, the digestion period is shorter, but still 90 min. A different catalyst combination, CuS04-Ti02, makes 40 min digestion feasible. Comparison of these catalysts on a group of representative feeds resulted in a mean difference, Cu-Ti minus HgO, of 0.034% protein. Standard deviation of the differences was 0.36. A Student’s t-test showed no significant difference. The method will be collaboratively studied.

This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the impact of instructional conversations on oral autonomy of Iranian English as Foreign Language (EFL) learners. Forty-nine Iranian intermediate EFL learners from three language institutes in Sarakhs were selected as the participants of the study based on their scores in Nelson Proficiency Test. Administering Nelson General Proficiency Test, participants were measured to make sure they are homogeneous. These participants were randomly assigned into to control and experimental groups.  Participants in both groups sat for Learner Oral Autonomy Questionnaire with some modifications from Kashefian's learner autonomy questionnaire (2002). Results of independent samples t-test lack of any significant difference between the two groups in oral autonomy at the outset of the study. Throughout the study which lasted for 12 sessions participants in experimental group received the treatment, instructional conversations, as a tool for teaching speaking materials. Participants in the control group were taught the same materials as those practiced in the former group through such techniques as role playing, peer dialogues, and oral presentations. Finally, the posttest being the same as the pretest was administered. Results of independent samples t-test showed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control one in Oral Autonomy Questionnaire. The present findings provide pedagogical implications for employing instructional conversation in EFL speaking classrooms.

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was mostly used in both pharmacopeia and literature studies to determine the assay of simethicone (SMT) in pharmaceuticals. It should be noted that HPLC is used less frequently. As an alternative to the mentioned methods a new, simple, fast, easy-to-apply and very cheap gravimetric method was developed and validated according to ICH guidance entitled Q2B Validation of Analytical Procedures: Methodology for the quantification analysis of simethicone in different pharmaceutical forms. For the simethicone suspension product provided to alleviate too much gas in the gastrointestinal tract, the simethicone amount was determined both by the validated gravimetric method and by the FTIR method defined in the USP and BP monographs, and the results were within the acceptance criteria. It is emphasized that there is no significant difference between the results of gravimetric and FTIR methods according to the calculated F- and t-test results.
