background: waste produced in dental clinics has been the topic of investigations for many years. these waste materials have important health impacts and are hazardous to humans and the environment. objective: to investigating solid waste production and its management in dental clinics in gorgan, northern iran. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 45 of 143 public dental practices and 5 of 2...

We present interferometric observations in the CO(2–1) line and at 1.3mm dust continuum of the low-mass protostellar binary system in the cometary globule CG30, using the Submillimeter Array. The dust continuum images resolve two compact sources (CG30N and CG30S), with a linear separation of∼ 8700AU and total gas masses of∼ 1.4 and∼ 0.6M⊙, respectively. With the CO images, we discover two high-...

[1] We use interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) to study deformation of the summit caldera at Kīlauea Volcano during 2000–2008, which spanned both an east rift zone eruptive event in 2007 and the start of the ongoing summit eruption in 2008. The data set consists of small baseline subset (SBAS) time series generated from 270 acquisitions on three separate beam modes from the Radarsa...

In order to forage and to provision oVspring eVectively, seabirds negotiate a complex of behavioural, energetic, environmental and social constraints. In Wrst tests of GPS loggers with seabirds in North America, we investigated the foraging tactics of free-ranging northern gannets (Sula bassana) at a large and a mediumsized colony that diVered in oceanography, coastal position and prey Welds. G...

The Allatoona thrust fault in the southernmost hinterland of Appalachian Blue Ridge-Piedmont megathrust sheet is among latest structures kinematic sequence events along west flank orogen. It an out-of-sequence, craton-directed that cuts metamorphic isograds and earlier thrusts, it has a nearly linear trace ≥280 km, making one major faults On northwest, Pennsylvanian or younger(?) regional cross...

The hydrography and distributions of cod larvae on Georges Bank were surveyed during two research cruises in April and May 1993 in order to relate larval drift between cruises to the vernal intensification of the frontal component of the residual circulation. We observed the transport of two patches of cod larvae. One patch, which had maximum larval cod densities of 45 larvae 100 mm3 in April, ...

We present VLA observations of the distribution and kinematics of the H I gas in the classical ring galaxy VII Zw466 and its immediate surroundings. The H I gas corresponding to the bright optical star forming ring exhibits the typical profile of a rotatingexpanding ring. The systemic velocity of the galaxy is found to be 14,468±25 km s. A formal fit to the HI kinematics in the ring is consiste...

AIM To evaluate female runners' pelvic floor muscles using three-dimensional ultrasonography (3DUS) and surface electromyography (SEMG). MATERIAL AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on 24 female runners. SEMG was performed using surface electrodes inserted in the vagina. 3DUS was performed using perineal convex transducer. SEMG was evaluated at rest and with maximum voluntary co...
