Soils contaminated with low levels of heavy metals and other trace elements are now frequently used for vegetable growing. In this situation, heavy metals and trace elements from these polluted soils may accumulate in the agricultural plants being grown in them and thereby enter the human food chain. The objectives of this study are to elucidate the effects of growth conditions, manipulated by ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate intraobserver and interobserver reliability of anterior cruciate ligament tunnel location measurement by use of 3-dimensional reconstructed computed tomography (CT). METHODS Three-dimensional reconstructed CT images of 31 cadaveric knees were used in this study. Twenty-one knees were operated on with a double-bundle technique, and ten knees we...

Abstract The expansion induced by cold working is a common process that generates residual stresses. It used when fatigue damage accumulation and life reduction of aluminum alloy perforated plates an issue in the aeronautics industry. This attractive solution to extend lifetime these structures. aims at generating stresses increases thereby strength hollow parts including with holes commonly ma...

In response to urgent demand raise awareness of the nutritional and health benefits tomato consumption advocate for healthy diets through increased sustainable production fruits vegetables, this study is intended promote a balanced lifestyle, sharing best practices consumption. The aim research was compare effects growing system (field vs. plastic tunnel) genotype characteristics organic improv...

Background: The purpose of this study was to introduce a technical tip for the preparation of tibial tunnel in a posteriorcruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction to reduce the chance of popliteal artery injury and duration of the surgery.Methods: This study included 18 patients who underwent PCL reconstructions at Imam Khomeini University Hospital,Tehran, Iran, between 2016 and...

Motor vehicles constitute a significant source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emissions to the atmosphere. Particle-phase priority pollutant PAH concentrations and total suspended particle mass (TSP) were measured in the Lapa bus station and the Americo Simas Tunnel, located in the city of Salvador, Brazil. Separate samples were collected at the bus station at different times of the d...

The characteristics of plastic zone are a critical basis for the control and stability analysis surrounding rock roadways. This paper aims to investigate rationality applicability numerical methods deep jointed Based on detailed investigation experiments, distribution roadway under different GSI values buried depths was analyzed by analytical methods, parameter reduction, equivalent mass techno...

A well-known result on the asymptotic behaviour of Dirichlet problems in perforated domains shows the appearance of a ‘strange’ extra term as the period of the perforation tends to 0. In a paper by Cioranescu and Murat [10] (see also e.g. earlier work by Marchenko Khrushlov [17]) the following result (among others) is proved. Let Ω be a bounded open set in R, n ≥ 3 and for all δ > 0 let Ωδ be t...
