Acrofacial dysostosis of Nager is a little known hereditary syndrome in which the findings of mandibulofacial dysostosis are associated with defects of the limbs. The present case showed other abnormalities including the Stilling-Turk-Duane syndrome, conductive deafness and ptosis of the transverse colon.

In the stepped spillway, steps, by providing an artificial roughening bed, dissipate flow of energy more than other types spillways, so construction costs for stilling basin are reduced. However, what is important in this type spillway increasing effectiveness steps rate dissipation. The present study deals with experimental and numerical simulations regarding influence geometric appendance ele...

Hydraulic jumps have immense practical utility in hydraulic engineering and allied fields, such as energy dissipater to dissipate the excess energy of flowing water downstream of hydraulic structures (spillways and sluice gates), efficient operation of flow measurement flumes, chlorinating of wastewater, aeration of streams which are polluted by biodegradable wastes and many other cases. The le...

We investigate the evolutionary history of the wide-ranging Nearctic treefrog Hyla arenicolor through the integration of extensive range-wide sampling, phylogenetic analyses of multilocus genetic data, and divergence dating. Previous phylogeographic studies of this frog documented a potential signature of introgressive hybridization from an ecologically and morphologically divergent sister spec...

A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) prediction procedure for computing the internal hydrodynamic behaviour of final clarifiers is presented. Calculations are carried out and presented for comparison with experimental measurements of point velocities in a shallow circular clarifier in operation at a UK waste water treatment works. The calculations compare favourably with the data and the model ...

Yoga is a commonly known generic term for the physical, mental, and spiritual practices or disciplines which originated in ancient India with a view to attain a state of permanent peace. According to Sage Patanjali, yoga is the stilling of the changing states of the mind. Yoga has also been popularly defined as "union with the divine" in other contexts and traditions. In this work, an easiest t...
