In this paper by using numerical evaluation the effect of balancing drupes of water hammer on tunnels lining is considered. In case of not arrangment of these reservoirs, the tunnel lining will be damaged of cyclic powers of water hammer. In this research, function of balancing reservoir of water hammer on cover of tunnels to the barriers’ turbine is simulated by numerical methods and Plaxis 3D...

OBJECTIVE Sometimes a vertebral artery (VA) enters the spinal canal via the C1-2 intervertebral space, a variation regarded as a C2 segmental-type VA. This paper describes the anatomy of the C2 segmental-type VA and reviews its clinical importance. METHODS Between March 2014 and November 2015, 3386 patients underwent computed tomographic angiography. I identified C2 segmental-type VAs, associ...

AIM To assess Cardio-respiratory fitness (CF) markers among university students using a 20m shuttle run test (SRT). METHODS Markers of CF were assessed in 80 males aged 21.4±1.8 years, randomly selected from Moi University, Kenya. Assessed at different stages of SRT protocol included heart rate (HR), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP & DBP). VO2max was also determined. Data were anal...

Irrigation canals are generally made through porous soil formations, since the is loose media – a huge amount of canal water lost to conveyance losses. The situation becomes direr when these losses result in non-beneficial Sindh province Pakistan has more than 70% saline groundwater, such areas not only become unusable but also creates management problems. Perhaps cost-effective way address lin...
