a bstract background: some health problems are more prevalent in shift workers than day workers. musculoskeletal disorders are considered as one of the most common health-related problems that can cause disability among health care workers. the aim of this study was to assess the associations between shift working and the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms (mss) among nursing personnel. mat...

Spatio-temporal change detection analysis of Jamuna River using low and medium-resolution satellite data between the years 1972 2013 are dynamic to assess river spatio-temporal changes their impacts on local settlements over specific time. This study employs remote sensing geographic information system (GIS) proficiencies identify bank shifting, erosion, depositional features along with populat...

Land use/cover change mapping is one of the basic tasks for environmental monitoring and management. In recent years, a variety of change detection techniques have been developed. This research compares three change detection techniques, including image differencing, image rationing, and image regression to study land use/cover changes in Falavarjan /Iran. The data sources used in this study we...

BACKGROUND Some health problems are more prevalent in shift workers than day workers. Musculoskeletal disorders are considered as one of the most common health-related problems that can cause disability among health care workers.

Improved understanding of the spatial dynamics of invasive plant species may lead to more effective land management and reduced future invasion. Here, we identified the spatial extents of nonnative cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) in the north central Great Basin using remotely sensed data from Landsat MSS, TM, and ETM+. We compared cheatgrass extents in 1973 and 2001 to six spatially explicit land...

Fungal hyphae and plant pollen tubes are among the most highly polarized cells known and pose extraordinary requirements on their cell polarity machinery. Cellular morphogenesis is driven through the phospholipid-dependent organization at the apical plasma membrane. We characterized the contribution of phosphoinositides (PIs) in hyphal growth of the filamentous ascomycete Neurospora crassa. MSS...

The Maximum Segment Size (MSS) is a basic yet critical property of any TCP connection. Yet surprisingly, there have been no recent studies examining the MSS values that are announced and utilised by TCP senders in any detail. This paper analyses packet traces from several different locations and investigates the advertised and observed MSS values for each captured TCP connection. In particular,...

OBJECTIVE To examine family physicians' practice of, attitudes toward, and knowledge about maternal serum screening (MSS) and to compare the demographic and practice characteristics, attitudes, and knowledge of physicians who offer MSS to all their pregnant patients with those of physicians who offer MSS to some or none of their pregnant patients. DESIGN Cross-sectional mailed survey. SETTI...
