Experiments are conducted to quantify leakage through a circular geomembrane (GMB) hole using two subgrades (underliners) not meeting modern filter criteria. Test results show that 1.9- and 5.0-fold increase in diameter causes 1.8- 6.2-fold leakage, respectively, whereas 2-fold GMB thickness an approximate 10% decrease leakage. For constant hydrostatic effective stress, 2- 3-fold water head abo...

Background: Cocaine use disorder is a frequent cause of drug disorders in the U.S. Although hallucinogen less common, both are potentially preventable public health issues. To our knowledge, epidemiological studies estimating burden cocaine or common Musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs) lacking.

Dr. Robert Barnes's masterly work, Lectures on Obstetric Operations, first published in 1870, has been to me a most useful guide and counsellor in obstetric difficulties of this kind. On page 378 of the fourth edition, 1886, Dr. Barnes gives a list of " certain cases of urgent disease of the mother, depending upon and complicating pregnancy?e.g., obstinate vomiting, with progressive emaciation,...

He was also impatient and obstinate, yet capricious and vacillating, unable to settle on any of the plans he devised for future action. His friends ...

Background: The aim of this study was to develop methods for cryopreservation and long-term maintenance of putative bovine embryonic stem cells (ESCs). Materials and Methods: Putative bovine ESC (bESC) lines (n=3) isolated in conventional medium were used to compare slow-freezing and vitrification. Results: After warming, vitrified cells (96.9%) demonstrated significantly (p<0.05) better surviv...
