The energetics of the interaction of internal gravity waves with a shelf break is investigated by means of high-resolution two-dimensional numerical simulations, with an emphasis on understanding the partitioning of the internal wave energy over the course of the interaction process and the subsequent dynamics of the onshore propagating internal waves. Some of the energy is dissipated as a resu...

The roots of essential hypertension extend back into the first two decades of life, suggesting that effective intervention during those years may lead to a reduction in the incidence of adult hypertension. Decreasing the dietary sodium/potassium ratio offers a potentially effective approach to blood pressure reduction. This study tested the feasibility of 3-year sodium reduction or potassium su...

OBJECTIVE The effects of wound healing acceleration on diabetic rats were determined and compared using different laser wavelengths and incident doses. BACKGROUND DATA Many studies have demonstrated that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) can promote the wound healing on non-diabetic animals. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Streptozotocin (70 mg/kg) was applied for diabetes inductio...

OBJECTIVE The study hypotheses were that: (i) there would be a difference in sagittal plane alignment between patients with symptomatic osteoarthritis of the hip and those with lumbar degenerative disk disease; and (ii) that sagittal plane lumbar alignment would change following total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS In this prospective study, a series of patients without back pain or lumbar c...

abstract the proper management of a watershed depends on recognition of effective elements and investigation of their behavior in different conditions. till date, many researches have studied the role of topographical general characteristics on hydrologic behaviors. whereas, the changeability of hydrologic properties under different conditions, especially in iranian watershed has been rarely ta...
