Coastal environments are affected by multiple pressures resulting from anthropogenic activities, among which organic enrichment (Corg) is particularly important. Foraminiferal communities react to changes in community structure (density, diversity, species composition) and behaviour (metabolism, feeding strategy, reproduction, mortality, etc.). A number of biotic indices based on foraminiferal ...

in the present paper, a 3d numerical model has been applied to predict the flow hydrodynamics around power intakes within the dez dam reservoir. the dez dam is a 203 m high, double arch concrete dam which is constructed by italians in 1962. since then, sedimentation in reservoirhas continued and since the dam does not have bottom outlet, the reservoir bed level is raising by a rate of about 2.5...

wall-jet flow is an important flow field in hydraulic engineering, and its applications include flow from the bottom outlet of dams and sluice gates. in this paper, the plane turbulent wall jet in shallow tailwater is simulated by solving the reynolds averaged navier-stokes equations using the standard  turbulence closure model. this study aims to explore the ability of a time splitting method ...

PURPOSE We investigated the relationship between ultrasound estimated bladder weight/corrected ultrasound estimated bladder weight and the bladder outlet obstruction index derived from pressure flow study to evaluate its diagnostic efficacy to predict bladder outlet obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total 193 men older than 50 years with lower urinary tract symptoms were enrolled in this s...

OBJECTIVES We examined the relation between alcohol outlet density (the number of alcohol outlets per capita by zip code) and male-to-female partner violence (MFPV) or female-to-male partner violence (FMPV). We also investigated whether binge drinking or the presence of alcohol-related problems altered the relationship between alcohol outlet density and MFPV or FMPV. METHODS We linked individ...

The thoracic outlet syndrome occurs when the neurovascular structures are compressed as they traverse the thoracic outlet. Degenerative changes can occur in the subclavian artery and the vessel may become a source of embolism with the risk of acute or chronic upper limb ischaemia. Rarely, distal thromboembolism in the thoracic outlet syndrome may be associated with retrograde flow when there is...

IntroductionFetal bladder outlet obstruction (or lower urinary tract [LUTO]) is most commonly caused by posterior urethral valves and atresia can lead to abnormal renal development pulmonary hypoplasia. It associated with a high rate of perinatal morbidity mortality.DefinitionPrenatally detected LUTO occurs because blockage in the (the outlet) developing fetus leads megacystis, thickened wall, ...
