a larger proportion of energy intake for reproduction and also low food availability maydecrease the growth rate of other organs during the late stage of the gonadal development. themain goal of this study is to examine the biological characteristics and organs growth pattern inclupeonella cultriventris during the late stages of gonad development. samples were collectedby capturing 300-350 kilk...

bendway weirs are an important tool in multi-purpose erosion control and are implemented to control erosion, restore streams, and improve habitat. these structures create a hydraulic effect that reduces erosion on the outer bank of a bend by reducing flow velocities near the outer bank and reduce the concentration of currents on the outer bank creating better current alignment through the bend....

Cochlear implant programming necessitates accurate setting of programming levels, including maximum stimulation levels, of all active electrodes. Frequently, clinical techniques are adequate for setting these levels; however, they are sometimes insufficient (e.g., very young children). In the Nucleus 24, several methods have been suggested for estimation of comfort levels (C levels) from neural...

The article presents fabrication and luminescent properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) fiber doped by Oxazine 170 perchlorate. The bright fluorescence of polymeric fiber (at molar fluorescent organic dye concentration 4.3 × 10−5) was characterized in terms of spectrum and signal attenuation vs. the fiber length. The significant changes in fluorescence spectrum (λmax red shift average s...

Erosion from forest roads is an important contribution to the sediment budget of many forested basins, particularly over short time scales. Sediment production from 74 road segments was measured over three years to examine how road slope, segment length, cutslope height, and soil texture affect sediment production and how these relationships change with time. In the first year, differences in s...

We present performance characteristics of nanoscaled cobalt phthalocyanine-based organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) as a function of channel length. We found a channel length range which maximizes the field effect mobility in a trade-off between the decrease in the number of organic grain boundaries and the increase of the electrode-organic contact region. Further reduction of channel len...
