Sir, the big flooding in Thailand in 2011 is one of the problematic flooding in Asia. It causes several destroying to many things in the disaster areas. An important concern is on the effect on the setting with the radioactive elements usage. In Thailand, there are some places with radioactive elements including to the university, hospital as well as radioactive research center. Luckily, ...

In areas of flooding, soil bacteria could infect humans. We report a 78-year-old woman who developed Pseudomonas putida soft tissue infection associated with bacteremia after passing through the water of a flooded area. She recovered very well after a 14-day course of intravenous ceftazidime therapy. Physicians should be alert to soft tissue pseudomonae infection during the flooding season.

A better understanding of the hydrodynamics related to flooding conditions in distillation columns is required in order to provide optimised designs for new plants and plant retrofits. Current flooding prediction correlations are predominantly based on air/water systems and tend to diverge at high vapour capacities. In this work an experimental setup was designed and constructed to test the hyd...

wild plant germplasm possesses useful adaptive strategies. wild plant species, for example, are resistant to biotic and abiotic stress and can be used for reforestation, agriculture, and horticulture. we surveyed the potential of wild pear to resist flooding. we looked at survival, growth, biomass, and several physiological variables. the rootstocks of wild pear are candidates for planting in o...

In this work we consider flooding, a fundamental mechanism for network discovery and query routing, in unstructured peer-to-peer networks. Flooding has well known properties such as fast responses and quick network coverage but at the same time it suffers from high overheads due to unnecessarily generated traffic (duplicate messages). While there has been a significant amount of research on str...

Background Lung is not considered for HIFU ablation so far. By replacing air with saline, therapeutic ultrasound could penetrate parenchyma and reach underlying cancer. Unilateral lung flooding is known for ultrasound guided thoracoscopic surgery. Lung cancer is prevalent in oncology and the most mortal cancer entity, its cure requires operability and results in loss of parenchyma. Whereby we w...

After the flood disaster in 1953 in the southwestern part of the Netherlands, Van Dantzig tried to solve the economic decision problem concerning the optimal height of dikes. His solution has a fixed probability of flooding after each investment. However, when there is economic growth, not the probability of flooding but the expected yearly loss by flooding is the key variable in the real optim...
