Isolated spontaneous primary tubercular erector spinae abscess in an immunocompetent patient is very rare. Here, we report such a case of 21-year-old female, which was successfully managed with timely diagnosis and intervention. Isolated primary tubercular abscess of erector spinae is a rare differential diagnosis of low back pain; however, it must be suspected in an endemic region for tubercul...

pressurized injection operation means the pressurized injection of a liquid or solution into pore of a mass of soil or stone and/ or cavity between them and built structures. the injected mortar mustconstitute a soil and/ or jel- like matter inside the cavites, and/ or the operations of the injection must cause sedimentation of the solid matter suspending in these cavites. the primary purpose o...

The influence of sedimentation rates on biogeochemistry of riparian forests was studied near ephemeral streams at Fort Benning, GA. Upper reaches of seven ephemeral streams had received varying rates of sedimentation stemming from erosion along unpaved roadways at the military installation. Two reference catchments were also included in the study. Decomposition of foliar litter, microbial C and...

We present Visual Sedimentation (VS), a new design metaphor for visualizing streaming data inspired by the geological process of sedimentation. Our work started by early experiments visualizing political Twitter streams during the French 2012 presidential elections, and social interactions during a TV show. In both cases, the positive feedback we received expressed an unexpectedly high level of...

Sedimentary rocks are one component of the modern threefold classification of rocks. They derive from the lithification of sediments, which are produced in basically two ways: by the mechanical deposition of grains derived from the alteration of other rocks (detrital or clastic rocks), or as chemical precipitates or grains formed organically or inorganically from an aqueous solution. The whole ...

We investigate the combined effects of gravity, attractive interactions, and brownian motion in suspensions of colloidal particles and nonadsorbing polymer. Depending on the effective strength of gravitational forces, resulting from a density mismatch between the colloids and the solvent, and the magnitude and range of the depletion interactions induced by the polymer, sedimentation in these su...
