the effect of compost and humic acid in mobility and concentration of cadmium and chromium in contaminated soil were investigated. experiment was carried out with three levels of soil cadmium and chromium and two organic matters (compost and humic acid). the study was performed in a randomized complete block design with 3 replicates. results indicated that application of organic substances enha...

the phenomenological model of khossravi and connors (1992) has been adopted to calculate the electrophoretic mobility of drugs at different concentrations of solvents in a binary mixture. the accuracy and predictability of the model have been evaluated employing 14 experimental data sets by using average percentage mean deviation (apmd). the obtained apmd for correlative and predictive studies ...

Mobility of nodes is one of the main causes of broken links in wireless networks. Although several theoretical models for links and routes selection have been proposed in the literature, so far little effort has been made to apply them to the existing routing protocols. In this article, a decision tree has been incorporated in a reactive routing protocol in order to select the most long-lived r...

Multidielectric polyethylene is a material that is generally employed as insulation for  the HVDC isolations. In this paper, the influence of temperature on space charge dynamics has been studied, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) sandwiched between two electrodes were subjected to voltage application of 5kV (14.3 kV/mm) for extended duration of time ...

The behaviour of Ixodes ricinus nymphs was recorded in 10-day experiments using computer-assisted video-tracking, in the absence of any host stimuli. These ticks switch spontaneously from questing in a desiccating atmosphere to quiescence in a water-saturated atmosphere after dark. Quantification of both questing and quiescence duration demonstrates that questing duration is inversely related t...

AIM We aimed to study functional mobility and visual performance in spastic diplegic children and adolescents attending specialised schools. METHODS Spastic diplegia (SD) was confirmed by clinical examination. Birth and related history were added to explore relationships between SD, birth weight (BW) and duration of pregnancy. Place of birth, BW, gestational age (GA) and length of hospital st...

background and aim: total hip replacement (thr) is done comprehensively all over the world. despite the effects of braces on control of thr complications , few studies have been performed on this subject. the purpose of this study was to evaluate immediate effect of hip abduction brace on mobility and functional balance of patients with thr.    materials and methods: eight men and nine women wi...

Background. The aim of our study was to assess the impact of whole-body cryotherapy with subsequent kinesitherapy on spinal mobility parameters in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Material and methods. We enrolled 32 men with ankylosing spondylitis in a clinical trial. The subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups consisting of 16 persons, with no significant differences in age, duratio...

Event coverage problem in wireless sensor networks has drawn the interest of several researchers. While most of the previous work has been on static or ground mobile sensor networks, airborne sensor networks have also found its way into several civil and military applications such as environmental monitoring or battlefield assistance. In this work, we study the mobility pattern of an Unmanned A...

OBJECTIVES To develop an appropriate method of assessing visual field (VF) loss which reflects its functional consequences, this study aims to determine which method(s) of assessing VF best reflect mobility difficulty. SETTING This cross-sectional observational study took place within a single primary care setting. Participants attended a single session at a University Eye Clinic, Cambridge, ...
