Abstract Glacier shrinkage is a globally occurring phenomena. High-resolution change detection based on frequent mapping and monitoring of high-altitude glaciers necessary to precisely evaluate future water availability understand glacier evolution under different climatic scenarios in the Hindukush-Karakoram-Himalayan (HKH) region. This also holds true for Bhaga basin western Himalaya. study i...

Kerala State is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, mainly soil erosion due changing climatic dynamics in the steep slope. In 2018 and 2019 flood, some districts were affected by significant floods extreme prolonged rainfall, leads large small landslides. Malappuram one of that got flood. Disaster risks are augmented a critical factor has been silently rising now, which change land use patt...

Animals have the ability to alter development, physiology, growth, and behavior in response to different environmental conditions. These responses represent critical assessments of both external and internal factors. For example, the timing of metamorphosis, hatching, or birth depends on the trade-offs between growth opportunity and mortality risk in the developmental habitat. Physiological sen...

Boden and Ozonoff's undercount estimates in their recent Commentary rely on three assumptions for which no quantitative literature references are provided. Alternatively, we show that findings in both studies and published data indicate lower upper-bound estimates for the undercount range. Am. J. Ind. Med. 53:854-855, 2010. (c) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

nephritis remains an important problem in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (sle). we conducted retrospective study to evaluate the efficiency of intravenous pulse cyclophosphamide in lupus nephritis: from 1983 to 1993, we reviewed 133 patients with biopsy proven lupus nephritis, 47 of them excluded because of short period of follow-up or defective laboratory data. eighty six patients ...

BACKGROUND Peptide patterns of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were assumed to reflect the complex pathology of acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) better than clinical and inflammatory parameters and may be superior for outcome prediction. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A training group of patients suffering from ALI/ARDS was compiled from equal numbers of ...
