Previous research in Powerlifting (PL) has qualitatively investigated rapid weight-loss (RWL) PL athletes and body image, however limited exists quantifying such methods adopted PL. This study aimed to assess the frequency of RWL are by male female United Kingdom (UK) during competition preparation. A total n = 37 ( 19 female, 18 male) competitive powerlifters completed an anonymous online ques...

Predicting the deformation of landslides is significant for landslide early warning. Taking Shuping in Three Gorges Reservoir area (TGRA) as a case, displacement decomposed into two components by time series model (TSM). The least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) optimized particle swarm optimization (PSO) selected to predict prediction based on rainfall and reservoir water level (RWL). F...

Possible risks in reservoir flood control and regulation cannot be objectively assessed by deterministic flood forecasts, resulting in the probability of reservoir failure. We demonstrated a risk analysis of reservoir flood routing calculation accounting for inflow forecast uncertainty in a sub-basin of Huaihe River, China. The Xinanjiang model was used to provide deterministic flood forecasts,...

Abstract Background Rapid weight loss (RWL) is commonly practiced in combat sports. Both magnitude and methods used to induce RWL are largely similar among sports, but currently, there no data on methodology by sambo athletes. Therefore, the aim of this study was determine procedures athletes apply lose rapidly. Methods The sample consisted 199 participants, which 132 males 67 females who parti...

Fungal pathogenic attacks are one of the major threats to the growth and productivity of crop plants. Currently, instead of synthetic fungicides, the use of plant growth-promoting bacterial endophytes has been considered intriguingly eco-friendly in nature. Here, we aimed to investigate the in vitro and in vivo antagonistic approach by using seed-borne endophytic Bacillus amyloliquefaciens RWL-...

The upstream construction of hydropower dams may drastically intensify climate change impacts due to changing the natural river flood-drought cycle and reducing amount water that flows into lower Mekong Delta river, leading hydrological environmental health impacts. However, until now influence drought on residents’ in MDR, where is highly sensitive recently built plants, has not been examined....

Hydraulic diffusivity is a fundamental parameter in studying groundwater flow. An analytical solution for flow within finite-length one-dimensional aquifer has been introduced. This simplifies the river water level (RWL) by piecewise linear function, accurately describing arbitrary variation pattern. inversion method hydraulic provided based on solution. Then, was employed to estimate of limest...
