abstract introduction moyamoya is a rare chronic progressive occlusive cerebrovascular disease that its manifestation varies from stroke, progressive learning impairment and transient ischemic attack to headache and seizure. there is no known medical treatment and surgery usually is needed. the incidence of this disease is about 1 person in 10 million people and angiographic picture of this dis...

background: national surveys in india have documented an increasing number of adolescent girls suffering from anemia. efforts to build iron stores in adolescent girls will help them improve their prepregnancy hemoglobin level. to assess the effectiveness of school-based supervised weekly, bi–weekly, and daily regimen of iron folic tablets in the treatment of anemia among adolescent girls. metho...

Riparian areas along rivers are essential movement corridors for terrestrial animals. However, the potential role of the dry bed of intermittent rivers as a movement corridor has been largely ignored. In this study, we investigated the use of the dry riverbed, compared with riparian, upland, and unpaved road habitats, by terrestrial vertebrates (mammals, reptiles, and birds) along two intermitt...

Modern spirometry, like no other monitoring technique, allows insight into breath-to-breath respiratory mechanics. Spirometers continuously measure volume, airway pressure, and flow while calculating and continuously displaying respiratory system compliance and resistance in the form of loops. The aim of this case series is to show how observation of spirometric loops, similar to electrocardiog...

— This paper addresses problems of power generation markets that arise under high shares of intermittent generation. After discussing the economic fundamentals of wind and photovoltaic investments, the paper introduces the concept of the “Merit order effect of renewables”. According to this concept electricity prices on wholesale power markets become smaller in periods during which large volume...

The study of plumes occurring at the mouth small rivers temporal flow is a challenging task due to lack sedimentological and data appropriate spatiotemporal scales. present contribution examined case typical un-gauged intermittent Mediterranean stream located in Northern Crete (Xiropotamos river). SWAT (soil water assessment tool) model was used simulate reproduce hydrological behavior adjacent...

We present results from a new, global, high-resolution (?3-km for ocean and ?6-km atmosphere) realistic earth system simulation. This simulation allows us to examine aspects of small-scale air-sea interaction beyond what previous studies have reported. Our study focuses on recurring intermittent wind events in the Gulf Stream region. These induce local heat fluxes above Sea Surface Temperature ...

Abstract Ponds and wetlands around the world face anthropogenic pressures that threaten key ecosystem processes such as nutrient organic matter cycling. Wetlands in arid semi-arid regions are particularly at risk from uncertainty of water availability competing for use. Such threats most acute non-perennial systems rely on occasional surface flows to maintain important ecological functions. Thi...
