The limited availability of the recorded rainfall-runoff data for many watersheds restricts development and management different activities water resources. To overcome this limitation, Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) estimating storm excess rainfall momentum optimization methods were combined in a mathematical model to estimate optimal parameters Nash Instantaneous unit hydrograp...

Introduction: Hand hygiene (HH) is an effective way to fight infections in healthcare settings. The general purpose of our study was explore the knowledge, attitudes and practices health care providers on HH at Dapaong regional hospital (DRH). Methodology: This a prospective, descriptive cross-sectional conducted from March June 2022 DRH wards. Data were collected using questionnaire observatio...

RNA interference defends against viral infection in plant and animal cells. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and its natural pathogen, the positive-strand RNA virus Orsay, have recently emerged as a new animal model of host-virus interaction. Using a genome-wide association study in C. elegans wild populations and quantitative trait locus mapping, we identify a 159 base-pair deletion in the ...

It is important to form and maintain ridges for air permeability within the upland crop root zone in Saemangeum reclaimed land with poor drainage. The ridge area, however, difficult be maintained due high content of sand silt, which are susceptible water erosion. This study was conducted investigate reduction height maize growth as affected by rainfall characteristics through application mainte...

Hashing aims at generating highly compact similarity preserving code words which are well suited for large-scale image retrieval tasks. Most existing hashing methods first encode the images as a vector of hand-crafted features followed by a separate binarization step to generate hash codes. This two-stage process may produce sub-optimal encoding. In this paper, for the first time, we propose a ...

ABSTRACT Sousa APS, Ferreira HR, Fernandes Filho J. Dermatoglyphic Profile and Hand Grip Strength of the Finalists Athletes in the Brazilian Paracanoe Championship. JEPonline 2016;19(1):50-56. The aim of this study was to analyze the dermatoglyphic profile and hand grip strength of the finalists in the 2012 Brazilian Paracanoe Championship. The subjects consisted of 19 paracanoe athletes divide...

Abstract. The spring phytoplankton bloom is a key event in temperate and polar seas, yet the mechanisms that trigger it remain under debate. Some hypotheses claim onset occurs when light no longer limiting, allowing division rates to surpass critical threshold. In contrast, Disturbance Recovery Hypothesis (DRH) proposes responds an imbalance between growth loss processes, biomass start accumula...

Helicase-like proteins play a crucial role in nucleic acid- and chromatin-mediated reactions. In this study, we identified 134 helicase-like proteins in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and classified the proteins into 10 known subfamilies and a group of orphan genes on the basis of sequence similarity. We characterized loss-of-function phenotypes in RNA interference (RNAi)-treated animals f...

The hygroscopic behavior of atmospheric aerosols has a significant effect on the global climate change. In this study, a physisorption analyzer was used to measure the water adsorption capacity of Al(2)O(3), NaCl, NH(4)NO(3), and (NH(4))(2)SO(4) particles at 273.6 K. Qualitative and quantitative information about water adsorption on these particles was obtained with changing the temperature and...
