Background: Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most common causes of nosocomial infections that cause a broad spectrum of diseases. Increasing antibiotic resistance among S. aureus isolates is a serious concern in the treatment and control of staphylococcal infections. The knowledge of S. aureus prevalence and the current antimicrobial resistance profile is necessary in selection of appropriat...

Groundwater is the only source of water for domestic as well as agricultural purposes in the sand aquifer in between sea and lagoon configuration typically found in the eastern Sri Lanka. This study was carried out to estimate the safe yield and assess the vulnerability of the sandy aquifer on the eastern coastal belt of Sri Lanka by rapid urbanization, agriculture and as well as climate change...

The Pearl River Delta (PRD), located in the coastal area of South China, contains a large confined Quaternary aquifer. This aquifer has been identified to have high concentrations of total dissolved solids–ranging from 1 g/l in the inland area to 26.8 g/l near the southeast shoreline. This work aims to investigate the origin of groundwater salinity and the major hydrogeochemical processes contr...

This uniquely designed study investigates a fundamental issue—the feasibility of predicting stream depletion rates using linear uniform two-dimensional models. Required input for these models includes the hydraulic parameter estimates of the aquifer and the stream–aquifer interface, which may be obtainable through pumping test data analysis. This study utilizes pumping test data collected near ...

[1] The method of recession analysis proposed by Brutsaert and Nieber (1977) remains one of the few analytical tools for estimating aquifer hydraulic parameters at the field scale and beyond. In the method, the recession hydrograph is examined as dQ/dt = f(Q), where Q is aquifer discharge and f is an arbitrary function. The observed function f is parameterized through analytical solutions to th...

Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) is called as radiation sickness or radiation toxicity caused by abnormally high exposure to ionizing radiation in a very short period of time.1 High doses of ionizing radiation are able to contribute to detrimental systemic effects in different organs.2 In treatment of patients with ARS, physicians have used growth factors, cytokines and bone marrow transplantatio...
