BackgroundPressure Pain Thresholds (PPT) has been the main sensory modality studied in headache disorders. It is usually repetitive, leading to potential variability between measurements. Since threshold estimation relies on observer, patient, body site, and device used, it important assess measurement reliability specific clinical methodological scenario be order minimize error. ObjectiveThe a...

Rapid and timely acquisition of the crushing rate can help in assessing performance combine harvesters, which is very important for agricultural production. The spectral reflectance soybean provides an alternative method to classical physical chemical analysis laboratory. Therefore, hyperspectral imaging be used rapidly obtain soybean. In this study, was employed, application inter-correlation ...

This study aims to evaluate the individual and synergistic controls of climatic land cover changes on stormwater runoff regimes, perform a comparative synthesis historical future runoffs for complex coastal-urban environments. A large-scale (7117 km2) mechanistic hydrologic model was developed Florida Southeast Coasts Basin as area using U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Storm Water ...

In the present work, a stainless steel wire was etched by hydrochloric acid during a chemical etching process. The obtained black layer on the surface of the fiber was used as sorbent for extraction of trace amount of phthalates in the aqueous samples by solid phase microextraction. New fiber efficiency was investigated using a home-made solid-phase microextraction (SPME) device and gas chr...

An efficient, rapid, simple, and highly selective dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction basedon solidification of floating organic drop (DLLME-SFOD), combined with flame atomicabsorption spectrometry was developed for preconcentration and determination of trace amountsof cobalt in water samples. In this method, an appropriate mixture of acetone and1-undecanol was injected rapidly into the aq...

The subtropical gyres occupy approximately 40% of the surface Earth and are widely recognized as oligotrophic zones. Among them, South Pacific gyre (SPSG) shows lowest chlorophyll-a levels (0.02–0.04 μgL –1 ), deepest nutricline (>200 m) euphotic zone (∼160 m), rates nitrogen fixation. zooplankton community is poorly known in SPSG. We report a study focused on composition distribution pe...

The vasa gene is essential for germ cell development and gametogenesis both in vertebrates invertebrates. In the present study, (Rcvasa) cDNA was cloned from cobia (Rachycentron canadum) using RACE amplification method. We found that full-length sequence of Rcvasa comprises 2571 bp, containing a 5′-UTR 145 3′-UTR 341 an open reading frame (ORF) 2085 encoding protein 694 aa. deduced amino acid c...

PurposeTo compare metastasis-related mortality, local treatment failure, and globe salvage after retinoblastoma in countries with different national income levels.DesignInternational, multicenter, registry-based retrospective case series.ParticipantsTwo thousand one hundred ninety patients, 18 ophthalmic oncology centers, 13 on 6 continents.MethodsMulticenter data were pooled from patients enro...

Household flooding has wide ranging social, economic and public health impacts particularly for people in resource poor communities. The determinants outcomes of recurrent home urban contexts, however, are not well understood. A household survey was used to assess neighborhood level Detroit, MI. Survey activities were conducted from 2012 2020. Researchers collected information on past flooding,...
