This study proposes a framework for estimating pollutant flux in an estuary. An efficient method is applied to estimate the flux of pollutants in an estuary. A gauging station network in the Danshui River estuary is established to measure the data of water quality and discharge based on the efficient method. A boat mounted with an acoustic Doppler profiler (ADP) traverses the river along a pres...

BACKGROUND Toxic substances released into the environment (to both air and water) by many types of industries might be related with the occurrence of some malignant tumours and other diseases. The publication of the EPER (European Pollutant Emission Register) Spanish data allows to investigate the presence of geographical mortality patterns related to industrial pollution. The aim of this paper...

fracture line. The therapy for the navicular insufficiency fracture was performed non-operatively. Previously, we had experienced that conservative therapy for insufficiency fractures in patients with RA was an efficient treatment. A non-displaced fracture should be treated with conservative therapy if the patient is unable to be very active. The ethical committee of Hamamatsu University School...

Due to the high density of buildings and low quality of the drainage pipe network in the city, urban non-point source pollution has become a serious problem encountered worldwide. This study investigated and analyzed the characteristics of non-point source pollution in Baoding City. A simulation model for non-point source pollution was developed based on the Stormwater Management Model (SWMM), ...

BACKGROUND Conservative/palliative (nondialysis) management is an option for some individuals for treatment of stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Little is known about these individuals treated with conservative care in the Canadian setting. OBJECTIVE To describe the characteristics of patients treated with conservative care for category G5 non-dialysis CKD in a Canadian context. DESIGN ...

This paper presents a novel Neural Network application in order to estimate Air Pollutant Levels. The application considers both Pollutant concentrations and Meteorological variables. In order to compute the Air Pollutant Level the method considers three important stages. In first stage, A process to validate data information and built a threedimensional Information Feature Vector with Pollutan...

Non-somatic causes of pain may aggravate painful complaints and complicate the conservative management of diseases such as lumbo-sacral disk root disease. The two-point discrimination test has been used for assessment of diseases, which change patients' skin sensation. This study aims to find out how applicable is two-point discrimination test in the conservative treatment of lumbo-sacral disk ...
