Sexual differences in size and shape of the Mosor rock lizard, Dinarolacerta mosorensis (Kolombatovic, 1886), from Lovcen Mountain (Montenegro) were examined on the basis of the intersex variation pattern of nine morphometric, eight pholidotic, and four qualitative traits. Sexual dimorphism was apparent for all morphometric characters except snout-vent length, while scalation and dorsal pattern exhibited small differences between sexes. The value of the sexual size difference (SSD) index based on snout-vent length was 1.028. The sex-specific allometric slopes for head dimensions and interlimb distance significantly diverged. Head dimensions, especially head height, showed strong positive allometry in males, while interlimb distance was the only character which showed positive allometry in females. Generally, males had significantly greater body size than females. This was true of all body measurements except interlimb distance. The influence of sexual and natural selection on the examined traits is discussed.

Complete Procedure

A 39-year-old man with clinical sign and symptoms of poor appetite, nausea, fatigue, distend abdomen, increased abdominal size and shape, abdominal pain, indigestion, vomiting sensation diagnosed as Yakrit Vriddhi or Yakrit-dalodar (Hepatomegaly). As per Ayurveda Samhita Shodhana Chikitsa is more effective in such type of patient. In this case after the routine examination i.e., History, Palpation, Blood Investigation (LFT), and Ultrasonography patient was treated by Panchakarma treatment. (Bio-purification therapy) In this Poorva Karma (Snehan- Bahya/Abhyantara) and Pradhana Karma (Abhayadimodak - Virechana Karma) in which vitiated doshas were expelled through Adhomarga (Anal route). After the Virechana Karma for restoration of the body Sansarjana Karma (Ayurvedic Dietary & Behavior regimen) was also done. The patient was on purgation 26 times (Vegas). At the end of the virechana karma Kapha was presented in the stool (Kaphant-Virechana). After the complete procedure followed by palliative treatment with Arka Makoi (Solanum nigrum) patient felt remarkable relief from above cited symptoms i.e., poor appetite, nausea, fatigue, distend abdomen, increased abdominal size and shape, abdominal pain, indigestion, vomiting sensation. The therapeutic purgation is safe and effective Panchakarma protocol to eliminate the morbid Pitta Dosha in the body either by pathological condition or diet and behavioral mismanagement.

Mud is a versatile material with a prodigious interest for traditional wall construction such as wattle and daub or rammed earth, with and without reinforcements. Mud concrete has been identified as a unique modern material, though more research is required for generalization. Compressive strength, a measure of concrete quality usually depends on the specimen’s size and shape. Specimen’s size and shape for mud concrete is yet to be identified and established. Addressing this knowledge gap, this research aims at investigating the effect of specimen’s size and shape on the compressive strength of mud concrete. At first, the compressive strength’s variation was estimated by varying water content. Then, the water content was kept constant and the variations of compressive strength were estimated by varying specimen size and shape. Both experiments were conducted for different mixtures and percentages of cement. The initial results suggest that the compressive strength of mud concrete decreases with the increase of water content. The decrease indicated linear behavior with a constant gradient. Less influence on compressive strength was observed by considering specimen size, while the shape showed more contribution. The effect of specimen size and shape was increased with the increase of compressive strength.
