BACKGROUND Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is a common complication in trauma patients. Venous duplex surveillance is used widely for the diagnosis of DVT, however, there is controversy concerning its appropriate use.

One of the important factors to consider in the process of runoffgeneration and soil erosion is the physical and chemical properties of soils under differentland-uses. The aim of this study is to estimate soil erosion and runoff in rangeland, rain-fedand abandoned rain-fed agriculture ...

Simple analytical calculations of groundwater flow around wells usually employ the Thiem well formula for steady calculations and the Theis formula for transient calculations. The superposition principle can be used with both formulas and even for combinations of both formulas. It is generally assumed that flow converges to a steady state when the boundary conditions remain constant for a long ...
