ABSTRACT
Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNET) is a benign glioneuronal tumor frequently associated with intractable localization-related seizures in children and young adults. Complete surgical resection without any adjuvant treatment remains the treatment of choice. The authors present a case in which DNET occurred in a 35 year old female. CT scan of the brain revealed left parietal para-falcine discoid lesion with peripheral enhancement. Micro-decompression of the tumor was performed. Histologically, the tumor exhibited features of WHO grade I dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor.
ABSTRACT
Nectar productivity of thirteen cultivars of strawberry (Fragariq sp.) was examined in relation to the foraging activity of Apis cerana indica F. and Apis mellifera L. The cultivars were found to vary in the quantity of nectar produced (0·020 to 0·735 ul/flower/day), nectar-sugar concentration (30 to 42%) and amount of sugar (0·006 to 0·2898 mg/flower/day). Consequently energy reward varied from 0·1037 to 4·851 joules/ flower/day. Foraging of both Apis cerana indicq and Apis melliferq correlated with energy yields. The results suggest that cultivars with higher caloric rewards had a competitive edge over the others in attracting foraging populations of both species of the bee.
