a microgravity survey was conducted for detecting the sink-holes at site of a power plant. pits, man-made tunnels and canals were considered as topographical effects and were corrected. to show the capability of the method two sites in a power plant have been surveyed for existing areas which can be affected by sink-holes overnight. ground shakes due to the running facilities were also preventi...

Introduction. Disorders of swallowing process starting from preparation and bolus transportation called dysphagia. Supporting examination for dysphagia is Fiberoptic Endoscopic Examination Swallowing (FEES). Aims to determine correlation between pharyngeal residues food consistency in neurogenic patients. Methods. Observational study using cross-sectional design. Data was collected medical reco...

Although neural circuits mediating various simple behaviors have been delineated, those generating more complex behaviors are less well described. The discrete structure of avian song control nuclei promises that circuits controlling complex behaviors, such as birdsong, can also be understood. To this end, we developed an in vitro brain slice preparation containing the robust nucleus of the arc...

Endomyocardial fibrosis, first described from Uganda by Davies (1948), is a disease of the heart characterized by a fibrosis of the endocardium and subendocardial layers of either the left or right ventricle or both. The fibrosis affects mostly the inflow tracts and the apices of the ventricles, and involvement of the papillary muscles may lead to mitral or tricuspid incompetence. The ventricul...
