Scour is one of the main causes hydraulic structural failures. The present experimental study examines use riprap, submerged vanes, and a combination these for scour reduction around vertical walls spill-through abutments under clear-water conditions. Specifically, influence placing riprap stones with different apron shapes (geometry) and/or group vanes constant height length on abutment was ex...

We investigate the role of glacier structures in controlling ice-front morphology and dynamics four Himalayan lake-terminating glaciers over a 20-year period. At Imja, Trakarding, Lumdin Dang Pu glaciers, lake area was mapped between 2000 2020 using Landsat 5/7/8 Sentinel-2 imagery. Discrete flow units were identified, with (e.g., open crevasses, transverse structures, longitudinal structures) ...

Abstract The use of lead apron for radiation protection is regulated under the Indonesia Nuclear Regulatory Agency (BAPETEN) Decree no. 8 year 2011 about Radiation Safety and Use Diagnostic Interventional Radiological X-Ray Machine. It listed specifications are as follows: having thickness equivalent to 0.2 mm Pb or 0.25 diagnostic 0.35 0.5 interventional use. Further, National Standardization ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge levels of Inonu University medical faculty students regarding Ebola. This descriptive, cross sectional study was conducted between November and December, 2014 at Inonu University Medical Faculty. After the researchers performed the literature review, a questionnaire comprising 39 questions was prepared, and the students were asked to fill...

We carried out a questionnaire survey to determine the actual situation of radiation safety management measures in all medical institutions in Japan that had nuclear medicine facilities. The questionnaire consisted of questions concerning the evaluation of shielding capacity; radiation measurement; periodic checks of installations, equipment, and protection instruments; and the calibration of r...

Paravespa rex is the only species of the wasp genus Paravespa that occurs in Europe. Females of this species nest in clay loam soil of proluvial terraces and deluvial aprons of badlands. The nests are vertical burrows 10-12 cm deep, surmounted by turrets of two distinct architectural forms: funnel-shaped and curved. The nests contain 1-3 vertical cells (mean-1.9) not different from the other pa...

not over conscientious in carrying out even those minutiae which they do understand. Bul^ for our own locally trained men most of whom have been many years with us, I must say that, with the introduction of high-pressure sterilisers, and a complete outfit in the way of operation coats, aprons, towels and rubber gloves, there has been corresponding carefulness in attending to the laws of surgica...

Interventional cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (iCMR) refers to catheter-based therapeutic procedures using MRI rather than conventional radiographic guidance. iCMR promises to further blur the distinction between medical and surgical therapeutics by permitting surgical-quality “exposure” in minimally invasive procedures. Catheter-based procedures conducted without x-rays may be usefu...
