Several studies conducted around the world over the last decade have demonstrated that early childhood and adolescent obesity are significant risk factors for MS susceptibility. This association has been largely confirmed in females, while evidence supporting a strong role for obesity and risk of MS in males has been mixed. Further, interaction between increased body mass index and genetic as w...

Rémy Inserm, U594, Grenoble, F-38043, France, Univ Grenoble 1, Grenoble, F-38043, France, Inserm, IFR1, Grenoble, F-38043, France Introduction The vessel size index (VSI) provides information on the distribution of vessel radii in a voxel (1). Experimentally, it can be estimated by quantifying the changes ∆R2 and ∆R2 induced ...

Fire susceptibility modeling is crucial for sustaining and managing forests among many other valuable land resources. With 56% of its area covered by forests, Arkansas known as the “natural state”. About 1000 wildfires occurred burned more than 10,000 acres each year during 1981–2018. In this paper, we use remote-sensing-based machine learning methods to address natural anthropogenic factors in...

A landslide inventory was created for an area of 22.6 km2 near Petrinja city in northern Croatia, based on the high-resolution LiDAR data complemented by orthophoto maps. total 216 landslides were identified, covering 2.91 % that area. Landslide polygons overlain geological units Basic map SFRY at a scale 1:100,000 is largest available whole Croatia. The relationship between and expressed as in...

We evaluated the frequency of micronuclei (MN) in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with pleural malignant mesotelioma (MM), lung cancer, benign respiratory diseases, and healthy controls. A significant increased frequency of MN was observed in patients with MM in comparison with all the other groups (median, 11.4 binucleated MN/1000 binucleated cells versus 5.1, 6.1, and 6.2, respective...

Forestry activities should be carried out within the purview of sustainable forestry while reaping benefits forestry. Accordingly, construction forest roads through forests carefully planned, especially in protection forests. Forest areas Turkey are generally widespread mountainous and high sloping that susceptible to landslides-landslide susceptibility is one most important criteria for select...

Landslides are a natural hazard that can endanger human life and cause severe environmental damage. A landslide susceptibility map is essential for planning, managing, preventing landslides occurrences to minimize losses. variety of techniques employed susceptibility; however, their capability differs depending on the studies. The aim research produce Langat River Basin in Selangor, Malaysia, u...

In this study the third order nonlinear susceptibilities are theoreticallycalculated for an electron confined in an isolated PbS/ CdSe/ CdS spherical core-shellshellquantum dots. Our calculation is associated with intersubband transitions in theconduction band. We used the effective mass approximation in this study which is asimple and straightforward study of the third-order optical nonlineari...
