Abstract Climate change (CC) and variability impacts on hydroelectric generation have become critical for hydropower management. The trends of inflow, outflow, reservoir water level, storage as well hydraulicity indices three main dams in Côte d’Ivoire, namely Kossou Taabo the Bandama basin Buyo Sassandra were examined during 1981–2017 their analyzed. Moreover, sensitivity to CC these was asses...

Splanchnic outflow was studied along with carotid and aortic pressoand chemoreceptor inflow in eats under a variety of conditions. Splanchnic activity was increased by a decrease in pressoor increase in chemoreceptor activity and vice-versa. Blood pressure rose following splanchnic activation. Protoveratrine and serotonin, reported to activate the "coronary chemoreflex," depressed completely sp...

We investigate whether blebs in cerebral aneurysms form in regions of low or high wall shear stress (WSS), and how the intraaneurysmal hemodynamic pattern changes after bleb formation. Seven intracranial aneurysms harboring well defined blebs were selected from our database and subject-specific computational models were constructed from 3D rotational angiography. For each patient, a second anat...

Serial microscopic sections of the left ventricular myocardium were examined in 12 autopsy specimens of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Multiple ventriculocoronary arterial connections, thickwalled coronary arteries, prominent endocardial fibroelastosis, myofiber disarray and focal calcification/ scarring of the myocardium were noted in the cases with patent left ventricular inflow and obstruc...

Turf, including home lawns, roadsides, golf courses, parks, etc., is often the most intensively managed land use in the urban landscape. Substantial inputs of fertilizers and water to maintain turf systems have led to a perception that turf systems are a major contributor to nonpoint source water pollution. The primary objective of this study was to quantify nutrient (NO(3)-N, NH(4)-N, and PO(4...

This study develops a sedimentation process model that simulate the effects of inflow water quality, treatment flow rate and outflow water quality. The model uses transfer function ARIMA (Auto-Regressive Moving Average) for reflecting the dynamic characteristics of the system The sedimentation model for outflow water turbidity are separated into low and high turbidity by input variables, turbid...

This paper presents a new measure of international gross capital flows and applies it to a global panel from 1970 to 2004. We explain why paying attention to the gross flows underlying net capital flows may be important and how our gross flow measure differs from the standard measure in the literature. For example, while by the standard measure a capital inflow decline more than fully explains ...

A double acting pneumatically powered cylinder, energized by an electrically activated solenoid valve, is used to occlude the outflow line from a Bio-Medicus (a) constrained vortex pump. The cylinder is mounted on a tubing guide that is fastened to a pole clamp. A Sarns (b) air bubble detector, placed on the pump inflow line is used to provide the signal to activate the solenoid valve. The outf...

Sequential determinations of glucose outflow and inflow, and rates of gluconeogenesis from alanine, before, during and after insulin-induced hypoglycemia were obtained in relation to alterations in circulating epinephrine, norepinephrine, glucagon, cortisol, and growth hormone in six normal subjects. Insulin decreased the mean (+/-SEM) plasma glucose from 89+/-3 to 39+/-2 mg/dl 25 min after inj...
