The last few years have witnessed an enormous study in the area of integrated hydrological modeling with GIS application. In this research, attempt was made to critically look at the application of HEC-GeoHMS which is an extension of ArcView in HEC-HMS; an HEC package which is a new generation of software being developed for rainfall-runoff simulation. The main role of HEC-GeoHMS is to formulat...

The aim of the study was to investigate wound healing and scar formation in rabbit corneal lamellar wounds repaired with simple interrupted sutures (SIS) or horizontal mattress sutures (HMS). Two parallel 'I'-shaped lamellar cornea wounds were created in one eye of 40 white New Zealand rabbits, while 5 uninjured rabbits were sacrificed to serve as normal controls. One side of the wounds, in the...

We characterized rabbit antisera to synthetic human calcitonin that specifically recognize the aminoand carboxy-terminal regions of calcitonin (antisera 1-506 and HMS-385, respectively), by both classical (parallelism of dose-response curves) and (owing to the unavailability of a variety of analog fragments of human calcitonin) biochemical plus enzymic alteration of synthetic human calcitonin. ...

Myoepithelial cells, which surround ducts and acini of glandular organs, form a natural border separating probiferating epitheliab cells from basement membrane and underlying stroma. Myoepithelial cells in situ and in vitro constitutively express high amounts of proteinase inhibitors that include tissue inhibitor of metalboproteinase 1, protease nexin-Il, ct-i antitrypsin, and maspin. Human myo...

Board & Chung [3] propose a class of structures (OBU structures) designed to model agents’ awareness of their own unawareness. In particular, OBU structures are capable of modeling an agent who is “not sure whether or not she is aware of everything”, without the implication that she does not know what she is aware of. In Board & Chung [3] (henceforth BC), OBU structures were used to provide sem...

A mathematically correct form of the linear storage element’s routing equation is specified requiring only a slight modification of the existing HEC-HMS routine. The new formulation, unlike the current version in use, is unconditionally stable as long as the time step and the storage coefficient values are trivially specified as positive numbers.

Phagocytosis of particles by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) 1 is accompanied by a burst of oxidative metabolic changes. These include increased oxygen consumption (1), hexose monophosphate shunt (HMS) activity (1), and hydrogen peroxide (H202) (2) and superoxide (02-) (3) production. Despite intensive investigation the mechanism by which this oxidative metabolism is stimulated during phagoc...

abstract one of the techniques that has been used in different areas of sciences, and probably would be able to simulate complicated process of rainfall-run off is artificial neural network (ann). the purpose of this research is to evaluate the applicability of ann in rainfall- run off simulation and the comparison of the results to those produced by hec-hms model in azam river basin of herat i...

Building accurate occupancy maps is crucial for autonomous vehicles to make path planning safer. Hilbert maps (HMs) are used for building such occupancy maps in a continuous fashion from depth sensors such as LiDAR in static environments. However, HMs are highly dependent on coefficients of the regularization term of the objective function which needs to be tuned heuristically. In this paper, w...

Pregnancy is associated with changes in host susceptibility to infections and inflammatory disease. We hypothesize that metabolic enzyme trafficking affects maternal neutrophil activation. Specifically, immunofluorescence microscopy has shown that glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDase), the rate-controlling step of the hexose monophosphate shunt (HMS), is located near the cell periphery ...
