The 15-minute-city concept represents an increasingly popular urban policymaking and planning paradigm that seeks to shift attention the neighborhood as a “place” rather merely spatial functional unit. core premise of is critical services amenities should be reachable within 15 min walking or cycling from residence. urban-planning principles enable realization 15-minute city variably embody in ...

experiments were conducted in 1998 and 1999 to study the effects of different levels of potassium and irrigation intervals on yield and water use efficiency of two genotypes of sugar beet (a37.1 and 12681) in khorasan agricultural research center (torogh, iran). potassium levels were; no potassium application, increasing potassium to 5% of soil cation exchange capacity (cec) and second treatmen...

High-latitude rivers supply the Arctic Ocean with a disproportionately large share of global riverine discharge and terrigenous dissolved organic matter (DOM). We used the abundance of lignin, a macromolecule unique to vascular plants, and stable carbon isotope ratios (d13C) to trace the high molecular weight fraction of terrigenous DOM in major water masses of the Arctic Ocean. Lignin oxidatio...

It has been about 40 years since I graduated from Juntendo University School of Medicine in 1983. For 5 after graduation, was engaged research on glycolipids the Biochemistry Unit Tokyo. Later, wrote and published papers glycolipids. Eventually, began to work here at Department Hematology. In 2000, 17th year my Hematology, Urayasu Hospital, as only physician stationed there. had long hours, unt...

Mycosynthesis of ZnO Nanoparticles In article number 2205799, George D. Bachand and co-workers describe a species dependency in the synthesis nanoparticles, resulting formation three distinct morphologies. These morphologies may be related to differences biochemical composition exudates including organic acids proteins that control nucleation growth nanoparticles. (Cover art by Christopher Lynn...

To investigate the changes in ovarian maturity in the tropical walking catfish, 15 females and 15 males (7 months old) were maintained under constant warm water temperature (23-25•Ž) and natural photoperiod until the age of 31 months old. Blood and ovarian oocytes were sampled monthly. Histological observation of the oocytes revealed that 10-31 months old females always possessed mature oocytes...

The effects of exercise and water replacement on intraocular pressure (IOP) have not been well established. Furthermore, it is not known whether the temperature of the fluid ingested influences the IOP response. In the present study we determined the effect of water ingestion at three temperatures (10, 24 and 38 degrees C; 600 ml 15 min before and 240 ml 15, 30 and 45 min after the beginning of...

In Sweden, the National Board of Health and Welfare forecasts a decrease in dentists with 26% and an increase in dental hygienists with 47% until the year of 2023. This, together with changes in both epidemiology, especially of dental caries, and political priorities, calls for an effective and well-developed cooperation between dentists and dental hygienists in future dentistry. Hence, the aim...

BACKGROUND Brain abscess is a potentially fatal disease. This study assesses clinical aspects of brain abscess in a large hospital cohort. METHODS Retrospective review of adult patients with pyogenic brain abscess at Rigshospitalet University Hospital, Denmark between 1994 and 2009. Prognostic factors associated with Glasgow Outcome Score (GOS) (death, severe disability or vegetative state) w...

Joint assessment of groundwater-surface water resources can help develop sustainable regional water management plans for intensive agriculture. In this study, we estimated allowable groundwater and surface water quantities using a water balance model, WetSpass-GMS, for the Sanjiang Plain (10.9 × 104 km2), one of the most important grain production bases in China. We then applied a double contro...
