Turbidity currents in the ocean and lakes are driven by suspended sediment. The vertical profiles of velocity and excess density are shaped by interaction between the current and bed as well as between the current and the ambient water. This paper presents 48 series of experiments in which saline gravity currents flow through a laboratory sinuous flume. flume contains three successive bends wit...

Dead standing trees (“stags” in Australia) are critical for wildlife in forests throughout the world. Dynamics of stag recruitment and retention are an interaction of tree mortality, size, deterioration rate, human intervention, and variables related to the structure and physiognomy of the forest. Historically in Australia and elsewhere, timber management involved the removal of stags and resul...

background : during the last 3 decades, there were increasing tendency towards angioplasty because of its benefits. but, this procedure has its acute problems like bleeding and formation of hematoma in the removal place of the sheet. based on researchers’ clinical experiences, patients need a time of 8-12 hours for bed rest after coronary angioplasty. recognizing desirable time for bed rest aft...

Groups of starved, virgin adult male or female bed bugs were stimulated to search for a host by the presence of a heated artificial feeder. Some of the bed bug groups were allowed to obtain a blood meal and some were not. After the removal of the feeder, bed bugs were observed throughout the scotophase to record their searching and aggregation behavior. Groups of male and female bed bugs that w...

The Housing Choice Voucher program was created, in part, to help low income households reach a broader range of neighborhoods and schools. Rather than concentrating low income households in designated developments, vouchers allow families to choose their housing units and neighborhoods. In this project we explore whether low income households use the flexibility provided by vouchers to reach ne...

The introduction of a GNU/Linux-based desktop system in a large company is often problematic, in terms of technical issues but especially for employees' training costs. Mainly, these obstacles are represented by different hardware configurations that might require several ad-hoc activities to adapt a standard release to the specific environment, including company's application profile. On the o...

Two experiments tested the ability to distinguish between ordinary and fantastic complex visual displays in 6and 9-year-old children and adults. In Experiment 1, adults found discrimination between ordinary and fantastic visual realities (Task 1) as clear and manageable as the discrimination between pictures that included or did not include human characters (Task 2), but 6and 9-year-old childre...

This paper focuses on the potential of collaborative live coding in educational settings. In particular, it draws from our experience with EarSketch, a free online platform for algorithmic composition and computational music remixing that allows students to learn Computer Science Principles (CSP) by making music using either Python or JavaScript. We argue that collaborative live coding is a pro...

BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that illnesses and injuries leading to restricted activity have adverse functional consequences, but whether the two components of restricted activity have comparable effects is unknown. We evaluated whether an illness/injury leading to bed rest represents a more potent exposure than one leading to cutting down on one's usual activities without bed rest. ...

CONTEXT Globally, abortion-related morbidity places a largely unmeasured physical, social and economic burden on women, yet little research has examined population-level morbidity, particularly in developing countries. METHODS Data were drawn from a representative 2002 survey in Madhya Pradesh, India, of married women aged 15-39 who had at least one child; the analysis examined 966 abortion a...
