PURPOSE: This technical note presents an evaluation of the wave climate at eight natural and created coastal wetland sites in an effort to identify the existence of critical wave energy thresholds for long-term marsh stability. This information could be used to help determine the minimum degree of protective structures necessary for successful establishment of created or restored coastal wetlan...

before a president practically begins his four-year term of office in iran, a formal inaugural ceremony is held in the parliament. being attended by national dignitaries and representatives from other countries, the inauguration of iran's seventh president, hasan rouhani, was spectacular in several respects. the current study aimed at investigating the generic structure and rhetorical move...

An efficient and versatile non-destructive method to analyze the progress of solid-phase glycoconjugate synthesis with gel-phase F NMR spectroscopy is described. The method relies on use of fluorinated linkers and building blocks carrying fluorinated protective groups. Commercially available fluorinated reagents have been utilized to attach the protective groups. The influence of resin structur...

objective: liver is an important organ that is exposed to many oxidant and carcinogenic agents, thus antioxidant compounds are beneficial for liver health. artemisia contains flavonoid compounds and anti-diabetic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. due to possessing terpene and sesquiterpene compounds, this plant has antioxidant properties. this study was done to investigate the eff...

skin cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer in most of the countries and more than 90% of cancer cases are related to ultra violet rays of the sun. therefore protective behaviors against sunlight are considered the most essential measures for skin cancer prevention. this study has been conducted to determine the frequency of protective behavior against sunlight among female students of teh...

The aim of this descriptive study was to compare the report profiles of Caucasian, Aboriginal, and other visible minority children whose cases were assessed by child protective services in Canada. The results show that children of Aboriginal ancestry and from visible minority groups are selected for investigation by child protective services 1.77 times more frequently than are children in the g...

Protective applications in extreme environments demand materials with superior modulus, strength, and specific energy absorption (SEA) at lightweight. They must also have the ability to attenuate intense stress waves absorb kinetic from impact while providing thermally stable functionality. However, these properties typically a trade-off. Hierarchically architected materials—such as vertically ...
