Abstract The spatial and temporal evolution process of the water soil resource carrying capacity in artificial oases arid zone China was accurately revealed. This study constructs a analysis system based on dynamics. It integrates cloud theory hierarchical to analyze evolutional trend irrigation areas. technique used obtain raster map characteristics influencing factors, evolutionary resources ...

Background: The Lori-Bakhtiari sheep breed is one of the most common native breed in the south-western parts of Iran. The peri-parturition period (2 weeks before to, 2 weeks after parturition), is generally of critical importance regarding the health, production and profitability of the ewes. OBJECTIVES: This study was carried out to compare the serum concentrations of glucose, non-esterified f...

In philosophy, there are two competitor views about the nature and value of childhood: The first is traditional, deficiency, view, according to which children mere unfinished adults. second a view that has recently become increasingly popular amongst philosophers, children, perhaps in virtue their biological features, have special valuable capacities, and, more generally, privileged access some...

in this study, a bearing capacity device is designed and fabricated to determine the load-settlement behavior of three circular footing models resting above the ground water table. capillary rise in the studied well graded sand is measured and the level of the water table is controlled at the desired heights during each bearing capacity test. moreover, shear strength parameters and soil water r...

background: gait disorder is a common motor complication after stroke. studies have revealed that conventional physiotherapy cannot manage this disorder efficiently; therefore, more studies regarding efficient treatment protocols are crucial. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of compelled weight-bearing approach on muscle activation patterns during walking in individuals w...

nowadays, due to the increasing power of diesel engines, especially heavy duty diesel engines, and increasing gas pressure inside the combustion chamber, the forces acting on the engine bearings have dramatically raised. on the other hand, becaus eof the competition in the market, it is necessary to increase the engine bearing life and reduce its failure as much as possible. the engine bearings...

The enzyme peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase (MsrA), the product of the msrA gene, catalyzes the reduction of methionine sulfoxide residues in proteins to methionine (1, 3, 4). During aerobic metabolism, methionine in proteins may be oxidized to methionine sulfoxide by biological reagents such as hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals, and hypochlorite and superoxide ions (reviewed in refere...

results the means ± standard deviations of the averaged emg during the lateral and frontal wp exercises were 40.1 ± 19.1, and 23.7 ± 11.3 µv, respectively. those of the percent maximal voluntary contraction during the lateral and frontal wp exercises were 51.4 ± 29.7, and 31.3 ± 20.5, respectively. gmax activity during the lateral wp exercise was significantly higher than that during the fronta...
