The present study aims to investigate the hydrological response of small coastal watersheds storm events. Areas around Mediterranean Sea are usually characterized by streams with intermittent flows and flash floods common. Firstly, we analyze geomorphological, soil land cover characteristics watershed in order estimate their effect on surface runoff. Furthermore, rainfall an extreme event that ...

Rainfall runoff modeling is one of the most complex hydrological due to involvement different watershed physical parameters. It essential for analysis response towards received precipitation under influence variables. As it a replica response, Rainfall-Runoff evaluate general characteristics total surface at catchment’s outlet. The main objective this study was prediction rainfall using Hydrolo...

It is hypothesized that repeated recruitment of low-threshold motor units is an underlying cause of chronic pain in trapezius myalgia. This study investigated the distribution of satellite cells (SCs), myonuclei, and macrophages in muscle biopsies from the trapezius muscle of 42 women performing repetitive manual work, diagnosed with trapezius myalgia (MYA; 44 ± 8 yr; mean ± SD) and 20 matched ...

Postnatal muscle growth is dependent on satellite cell (SC) proliferation, differentiation and fusion to increase the DNA content of existing muscle fibres and thereby the capacity to synthesize protein. The purpose of the present study was to examine the ability of isolated SCs from low, medium and high weaning weight litter mates of pigs to proliferate and differentiate, and to affect protein...

Adult bone marrow-derived very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSEL-SCs) exhibit a Sca-1+/ Lin-/CD45phenotype and can differentiate into various cell types, including cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells. We have previously reported that transplantation of a small number (1×106) of freshly isolated, non-expanded VSEL-SCs into infarcted mouse hearts resulted in improved left ventricular (LV) fu...

BACKGROUND Published validation studies have reported different factor structures for the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS). The objective of this study was to assess the factor structure of the SCS in a large general population sample representative of the German population. METHODS A German population sample completed the SCS and other self-report measures. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) in M...

FULLY implantable devices or drug–device combinations, such as intrathecal drug delivery (DD) systems and spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems, increasingly are used for the treatment of chronic intractable pain. Another approved indication for intrathecal DD systems is the administration of intrathecal baclofen (ITB) to treat medically intractable spasticity of spinal or cerebral origin. Alth...

Angina pectoris, cardiac pain associated with ischemia, is considered refractory when optimal anti-anginal therapy fails to resolve symptoms. It is associated with a decreased life expectancy and diminishes the quality of life. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may be considered for patients who have also undergone comprehensive interventions, such as coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and percuta...
