PURPOSE The aim of this article is to investigate the effect of transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES) on chorioretinal blood flow in healthy human subjects. METHODS The chorioretinal blood flow of 10 healthy subjects was measured before and after TES by laser speckle flowgraphy and expressed as the square blur rate (SBR). The chorioretinal blood flow was determined before and immediately ...

We analyze the strong relationship among three combinatorial problems, namely, the problem of sorting a permutation by the minimum number of reversals (MIN-SBR), the problem of finding the maximum number of edge-disjoint alternating cycles in a breakpoint graph associated with a given permutation (MAX-ACD), and the problem of partitioning the edge set of an Eulerian graph into the maximum numbe...

Objective: To assess the performance of SBR to treat three different types of wastewater from domestic, hospital, slaughterhouse and investigate the kinetic rates of active biomass. Mass balance calculation of COD, TKN and TP was further performed to explain the mechanisms of the biological nutrient removals processed in the SBR system. The measured kinetic rates were in turn used to evaluate t...

A relationship between dopamine and temperament has previously been described in human cases of dopaminergic dysfunction. Adjustment in temperament prior to disease manifestation can enable the early identification of individuals at risk of such conditions, and scope exists to extend this application of temperament alterations to cases of dopaminergic dysfunction in horses. A multivariate and m...

The epistemic conditions of rationality and m th?order strong belief (R SBR; Battigalli Siniscalchi, 2002) formalize the idea that players engage in contextualized forward?induction reasoning. This paper characterizes behavior consistent with R SBR across all type structures. In particular, a class generic games, R( ? 1)SBR is characterized by new solution concept we call an ?best response sequ...

A sequential batch reactor (SBR) and a membrane bioreactor (MBR) were inoculated with the same sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant, supplemented with ammonium, and operated in parallel for 84 days. It was investigated whether the functional stability of the nitrification process corresponded with a static ammonia-oxidizing bacterial (AOB) community. The SBR provided complete nitr...

Prior studies of intestinal adaptation following massive small bowel resection (SBR) have focused on growth factors and their effects on amplification of the gut mucosa. Since adaptive changes have also been described in intestinal smooth muscle, we sought to determine the effect of targeted smooth muscle growth factor overexpression on resection-induced intestinal adaptation. Male transgenic m...

In this study; variation of effluent BOD5’s (Se) with reaction time (tr) in Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) unit for textile industry wastewater treatment plant and effective parameters on this variation have been researched. Determination of appropriate reaction time (tr) is an important value for design and operation of activated sludge unit. An appropriate kinetic equation for Sequencing Batc...
