abstract flood causes great and uncompressible damage to people’s life and properties as well as environment each year in iran. this research was carried out at the west section of jazmurian basin that placed in the southeast of iran. in this research physical characteristics such as area (a), perimeter (pr), average elevation of basin (av.e), average slope (av.s), gravelious coefficient (g), l...

Methods 60 patients with L5-S1 isthmic spondylolisthesis (mean age, 47years, range, 28 to 69 years) and age-matched control group of 77 normal adults (mean age, 43.5 years, range, 25 to 63 years) were recruted in this retrospective study. Parameters including slip distance (SD), slipping percentage (SP), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), sacral slope (SS), L5 incidence (L5I), lumbar-sacr...

1. The percentage of times a human subject detects an increment (DeltaI) in intensity was determined as a function of the magnitude of the increment and the magnitude of the stimulus (I) to which the increment is added. 2. Foveal stimulation was used, and five frequency of seeing curves were obtained at each of nine values of adapting intensity covering the range from -1.45 to 4.45 log photons....

Fairy rings are conspicuous features of the Laramie Basin southeastern Wyoming. Ten fairy ring sites chosen for intensive study were located using a small plane and 415 whole partial georeferenced ground-truthed. forming fungi identified combination taxonomy ITS fungal barcode sequence comparisons. Precipitation, vegetation, soil type, elevation, slope, slope aspect queried GIS. Eight species f...

Growth and productivity of plants are mainly affected by various environmentalfactors in different ecosystems and natural habitat in the world. This research aims to studythe existing relationships between the phytosociology characteristics of Thymuskotschyanus and environmental factors in order to find the most important factorsgoverning development of the species in middle Taleghan rangelands...

Animal treading can change soil physical properties, and thus is an important factor in hydrological modelling. We investigated the impacts of animal treading on infiltration by using a series of rainfall simulation experiments at Whatawhata Research Center, Waikato, New Zealand. The study identified significant variables for estimating soil steady-state infiltration at a microsite (0Ð5 m2) and...

This paper presents the results of preliminary investigations of globular moss growth on the surface of Falljökull, a temperate outlet glacier of the Vatnajökull ice cap, Southern Iceland. Supraglacial debris has provided a basis for moss colonisation and several large (>500m) patches of moss growth (Racomitrium spp.) are observed on the surface of the glacier. Each area of moss-colonised supra...

INTRODUCTION A growing body of evidence shows the prognostic value of oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES), a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) parameter derived from the logarithmic relationship between O(2) consumption (VO(2)) and minute ventilation (VE) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic value of a new CPET parameter - peak oxygen uptake ...

We examined the relationship between the percentage of peak heart rate (HR) and the percentage of peak oxygen uptake VO2 during steady-rate incremental wheelchair propulsion in 10 trained female wheelchair athletes (WAs) to determine the appropriateness of using American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) target HRs for training prescription. Oxygen uptake was calculated during each submaximal e...
