Imidazole, given intraperitoneally to rabbits, inhibited the prostaglandin E1-induced (PGE1) elevation of intraocular pressure. The maximum imidaz-le effect occurred at three to six hours after intraperitoneal infection. The prostaglandin E1-induced aqueous humor protein elevation was reduced markedly in the imidazole-pretreated rabbits. Intravenous administration of imidazole also was effectiv...

To assist in targeting of landers and to enable comparison of new elevation data to previous topography models, we have re-determined the position of the 6. l-mbar atmospheric pressure surface on Mars with respect to surface topography from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA). The 6.1-mbar surface lies, on average, 1600 m below the geoid-defined zero level of MOLA topography, which occurs a...

Effect of air cushion layer right before impact of a rigid body onto water surface has been investigated in this paper. The study is mainly focused on evaluation of cushioning pressure and the resulting free surface elevation. The air flow is assumed to be an irrotational flow which is governed by Laplace equation. The air problem and the resulting response of the water free surface are suppose...

Hurricane storm surges are influenced by several factors, including wind intensity, surface pressure, forward speed, size, angle of approach, ocean bottom depth and slope, shape geographical features the coastline. The relative influence each factor may be amplified or abated other factors that acting at time hurricane’s approach to land. To understand individual combined pressure a numerical e...

Many modern hydrological models require data inputs provided by automated digital terrain analysis functions incorporated into GIS. These inputs include Ž elds representing surface  ow directions, up-slope contributing areas, and sub-catchment partitions. Existing raster-based terrain analysis tools, including both those in oŒ-the-shelf GIS packages and those in the recent literature, were des...
