Kuakata beach, known as Daughter of Sea in Bangladesh, has drawn a growing number tourists from all over the world, leading to higher use single plastic products. This study was first attempt describe occurrence, spatial distribution, and ecological risk microplastics (MPs) beach sediments. A total 24 surface sediment samples were collected intertidal zone MPs extracted using density separation...

As a test of quenched lattice twisted mass QCD, we compute the non-perturbatively O(a) improved pseudoscalar and vector meson masses and the pseudoscalar decay constant down to MPS/MV = 0.467(13) at β = 6 in large volume. We check the absence of exceptional configurations and – by further data at β = 6.2 – the size of scaling violations. The CPU time cost for reaching a given accuracy is close ...

BACKGROUND We sought to compare quantification of left ventricular volumes and ejection fraction by different gated myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) programs with each other and to magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. METHODS N = 100 patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease were examined at rest with 99 mTc-tetrofosmin gated MPS and cardiac MR imaging. Left ventricular end-diastol...

Knowledge regarding the presence of suspended microplastics (MPs) within air is lacking, especially indoors, yet importance indoor quality and human health rising. This study first to report MPs multiple homes over a 6-month period, with concentrations exceeding previous outdoor studies. Twenty households, City Hull Humber region, U.K., were passively sampled, each month, collecting atmospheric...

Microplastics (MPs) pollution is arousing growing attention, yet knowledge about its occurrence in amphibians scant to date. With this study, we aimed determine whether plastic (>5000 ?m) and MPs (10–5000 could be detected adult Rana temporaria from a high-mountain ecosystem (the Cottian Alps, northwest Italy). To do this, aquatic compartments the digestive tract of R. were analyzed. Water, ...

Bu çalışmada Çanakkale kent merkezinde, peyzaj deseninde meydana gelen değişimin 18 yıllık süreçte analiz edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada değişim, Landsat ETM 2000, 2006, 2012, 2018 WGS 84 projeksiyonunda Copernicus uydu görüntülerinin nesne tabanlı sınıflandırılması sonucunda elde edilen arazi kullanım/arazi örtüsü (AK/AÖ) haritaları üzerinden edilmiştir. Araştırma alanında desenleri olarak ...

This paper presents a retrospective comparison of plastic versus metallic stents in the drainage of malignant distal biliary obstructions. We compared single plastic stents (SPS), multiple plastic stents (MPS), and metallic stents (SEMS) regarding clinical decrease of TB < 2.0 mg/dL, long-term patency, and adverse event. 58 patients (38 women) with MDBO were included. Diagnoses were 44 pancreat...

Abstract The sensitivity of moving particle semi-implicit (MPS) simulations to numerical parameters is investigated in this study. Although the verification and validation (V&amp;V) are important ensure accurate results, MPS has poor performance convergences with a time step size. Therefore, users need tune fit results into benchmarks. However, such tuning not always valid for other simulations...

The confinement of multiple myeloma (MM) to the bone marrow microenvironment requires an invasive bone marrow biopsy to monitor the malignant compartment. The existing clinical tools used to determine treatment response and tumor relapse are limited in sensitivity mainly because they indirectly measure tumor burden inside the bone marrow and fail to capture the patchy, multisite tumor infiltrat...
