The effects of treated and untreated water inlets with macrophytes on the improvement of water quality and zooplankton community were evaluated in a fish pond with continuous water flow. Water and zooplankton samples were retrieved at four sites during nine months. There were differences (p<0.01) between inlet water from fish pond and inlet water from canal with macrophytes, featuring higher co...

a key parameter for the application of polymer gels in water shut off treatment is the adsorption of polymer gel onto the rock surface. so, the adsorption properties of a nanocomposite hydrogel were discussed in this research by crosslinking of sulfonated polyacrylamide/sodium montmorillonite aqueous solutions with chromium triacetate. the x-ray diffraction patterns indicated that exfoliated ty...

OBJECTIVE To determine the association between advanced pelvic organ prolapse and changes in lumbar lordosis and/or pelvic inlet orientation. METHODS Lateral lumbosacral spine/pelvic x-rays were taken of women with grade 2 or greater uterovaginal prolapse and women with grade 1 or less prolapse standing in their usual upright posture. The angles of lumbar lordosis and the pelvic inlet were me...

Objectives: To determine intraand inter-observer reproducibility of the ultrasound measurement of pelvic inlet in the first trimester of pregnancy. Methods: Transabdominal pelvic ultrasound was performed to measure the pelvic inlet anteroposterior diameter using a 2D probe in twelve Chinese women having a singleton pregnancy. Scans were performed in the first trimester by three sonographers. Th...

intake system design as well as inlet ports and valves configuration is of paramount importance in the optimal performance of internal combustion engines. in the present study, the effect of inlet ports design is investigated on om-457la diesel engine by using a cfd analysis and the avl-fire code as well. a thermodynamic model of the whole engine equipped with a turbocharger and an intercooler ...

carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) is the most common entrapment neuropathy. it accounts 90% of all entrapment neuropathies all over the world. ultrasound is a non-invasive, cost effective and available para-clinical method which could be applied for cts diagnosis. cross-sectional area of the median nerve at the level of the inlet is considered as a diagnostic criterion in cts cases. in this study, t...

Reservoir modeling is the process of generating numerical representations of reservoir conditions and properties on the basis of geological, geophysical, and engineering data measured on the Earth’s surface or in depth at a limited number of borehole locations. Therefore, reservoir modeling requires an incorporation of the data from a variety of sources, along with an integration of knowledge a...
