recently, the most important topic in water management was to determine the effects of urban forests and green space on partitioning gross rainfall (gr) into the rainfall interception (i), stemflow (sf), and throughfall (tf). the main aim of this research was to quantify the seasonal variations [growing season (gs), and non-growing season (ngs)]) in i by individual fraxinus rotundifolia trees i...

BACKGROUND Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) is different from conventional diagnostic methods and has the potential to delineate the microscopic anatomy of a target tissue or organ. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the value of DW-MRI in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast masses, which would help the clinical surgeon to decide the scope and pattern of ope...

Diffusion acquisition parameters for imaging the upper abdomen Breath-hold or free breathing or respiratory triggered (using a navigator echo) SS EPI DWI sequence can be acquired before contrast injection, with the suggested following parameters: axial or coronal acquisition, fat suppression, tridirectional gradients using the following b-values: 0 (used as reference), 50 (black-blood sequence-...

the aim of this study was to compare rainfall interception (i) in a natural forest of fagus orientalis l. with a neighboring picea abies plantation in kelardasht area, the caspian forests, north of iran. to measure gross rainfall (gr), four manual collectors were installed in an open area adjacent to the forest sites and throughfall (tf) was measured using 20 collectors randomly located underne...

Abstract We established and simulated finite element solidification models of ingots with 180, 380, 800, 1,300, 1,880 mm diameters, the process temperature distributions for five ingot sizes were assessed by Fluent. On this basis, we a mathematical model interfacial heat transfer coefficient between mold, as well diameter time, using regression analysis method. The results showed that change la...
