conclusions cognitive behavior therapy was more effective than the other psychotherapy approaches relieving chronic pain in the studies. well-designed studies and comprehensive clarification of the studies demonstrating groups, intervention, follow-up and drop outs can improve the quality of the rcts. context keeping in mind the burden of psychotherapy can play a crucial role concerning chronic...

and Agriculture (NIFA) and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) to evaluate the effects of agricultural conservation practices on spatial patterns and trends in water quality at the watershed scale. In some projects, participants also investigated how social and economic factors influence implementation and maintenance of practices. The 13 projects were conducted from 2004 to 2011 as pa...

This study was conducted over seven villages near Darbandikhan district including (2) wells and (5) springs. It covers more than 60 km, to assess the suitability of ground water quality for drinking purpose using water quality index through investigating of different wells and springs; this technique is very useful tool for quick assessment for any water system. This was done by subjecting the ...

Remote sensing techniques play increasingly important role over recent decades in both problems of global climate change and frequent deterioration of the status of aquatic ecology, driven by the ever-increasing needs of growing populations for drinking water, polluted by overland runoff from point and non-point sources, as well as fish and other seafood (Pozdnyakov et al., 2005). With the adve...

The Conservation Effects Assessment Project was established to quantify water quality benefits of conservation practices supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). In 2004, watershed assessment studies were begun in fourteen agricultural watersheds with varying cropping systems, landscapes, climate, and water quality concerns. This paper reviews USDA Agricultural Research Service '...

b a ckground:   eco-faunistic  studies  are  inevitable  step  in  environmental  researches.  aquatic  organisms  like caddisflies are known as biological indicators for water quality assessment and water resource management. they have special role for energy flow in the freshwater habitats as food web and food chain among aquatic creatures. methods: in addition to an extensive literature revi...

We assess water quality and the status of water bodies with numerous variables, both abiotic and biotic. Up to date, few water quality assessment and ecoremediation measures took the surface water – groundwater ecotone (i.e. the hyporheic zone) into consideration. We developed a new index based on hyporheic copepod fauna. The copepod biodiversity in the hyporheic of 26 Slovenian rivers, belongi...
