introduction: meningioma is a benign and slowly-growing tumor that is responsible for 20% of brain neoplasms. it can be accompanied by some genetic disorders such as neurofibromatosis type 2 and is more common among women. as a space occupying lesion, it produces a wide range of signs and symptoms by compressing the adjacent and underlying tissues in the brain. trauma and viruses are possible e...

Four cloud-seeding cases over southern Idaho during the 2010/11 winter season have been simulated by the WeatherResearch and Forecasting (WRF)model using the coupled silver iodide (AgI) cloud-seeding scheme that was described in Part I. The seeding effects of both ground-based and airborne seeding as well as the impacts of model physics, seeding rates, location, timing, and cloud properties on ...

This paper provides nested sets and vector representations of knockout tournaments. The paper introduces classification of probability domain assumptions and a new set of axioms. Two new seeding methods are proposed: equal gap seeding and increasing competitive intensity seeding. Under different probability domain assumptions, several axiomatic justifications are obtained for equal gap seeding....

A novel rotor was constructed to allow for the seeding of porous scaffolds via centrifugal force. Using cell seeding times of 10 min, this method placed significantly (roughly 3-fold) more cells into poly(glycolic acid) scaffolds than 24 h of spinner flask seeding or static seeding. There were no significant differences in the mitochondrial activity per cell between the 3 seeding methods. Cell ...

Green onion (Allium fistulosum L.) is mainly available as factory-produced seedlings. Although factory seedling production highly automated, miss-seeding during the seeding process considerably affects subsequent transplanting and final yield. To solve problem of miss-seeding, current main method manual complementary seeding, which labor-intensive inefficient work. In this study, an automatic m...

rapeseed as one the most crops is the basic needs of human feeding in order to produce oil. a field experiment was conducted to study the effects of different tillage system, seeding method and rates on yield and its components, as well as, seed oil percentage of rapeseed (brassica napus l. cv. hyola-401) during 2011-12 growing season at rice research institute of iran-department of mazandaran ...

A silver iodide (AgI) cloud-seeding parameterization has been implemented into the Thompson microphysics scheme of the Weather Research and Forecasting model to investigate glaciogenic cloudseeding effects. The sensitivity of the parameterization to meteorological conditions, cloud properties, and seeding rates was examined by simulating two-dimensional idealized moist flow over a bell-shaped m...

Greenhouse and field experiments with American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.) stratified seed sown at depths of 10 to 100 mm were carried out to determine effects of seeding depth on seedling emergence, growth and development and to calculate optimum seeding depth. The time to 50% seedling emergence (E50) in the field increased linearly from 17 d at 20 mm seeding depth to 42.5 d at 80 mm. See...
