River restoration projects are often accompanied by major land consolidation operations, notably the re-allocation of adjacent farmland, which offers opportunity to create an extensively-managed buffer zone outside levees where specific habitat features installed for endangered terrestrial and semi-aquatic biodiversity. Modern, enrivonmentally-friendly operations might thus not only contribute ...

conclusions according to the results of this study, it seems that shift work can be considered a risk factor for high blood pressure changes. it is recommended that workers who are working in shifts are more at risk and need more supervision. background several factors affect the emergence of high blood pressure, among which include environmental and occupational factors. shift work is currentl...

The present longitudinal study was intended to investigate whether the two bilingual experiences of written translation and consecutive interpreting (featured with similar language switching experience but different processing demands) would produce different cognitive control effects in young adults. Three groups of Chinese-English young adult bilinguals, who differed mainly in their half-year...

The existence of long-lived nuclear spin states in four-spin systems is explored by solution-state NMR experiments. Long-lived states are proved to exist in three different natural product molecules, each containing either a AA'BB' or a AA'XX' proton spin system. The measured state lifetimes are between four and eight times the spin-lattice relaxation time constants.

There is a large amount of cross-sectional evidence for a midlife low in the life cycle of human happiness and well-being (a 'U shape'). Yet no genuinely longitudinal inquiry has uncovered evidence for a U-shaped pattern. Thus, some researchers believe the U is a statistical artefact. We re-examine this fundamental cross-disciplinary question. We suggest a new test. Drawing on four data sets, a...

in this study, as for the re-casting, surface alloying and re-solidification layer of this alloys at the work piece level machining with wire electro discharge machining (wedm), changes of surface micro hardness with changes of operational parameters has been studied. therefore, study shows using surface alloying phenomena with the diffusion of wire material into the machined surface and select...

In this paper authors focus on determination of the threshold velocity of re-suspension for particles 10 m in an urban street canyon with two-way traffic. The urban wind threshold velocity of re-suspension is derived from a long-term measurement carried out in the city of Brno. A numerical modelling based on the finite volume method is used for a detail study of the relation between a wind velo...

An analytic method originated by Y. H. Chin was extended to calculate the electromagnetic fields and the longitudinal impedance due to coherent wiggler radiation (CWR) in a rectangular chamber. The method used dyadic Green functions based on eigenfunction expansion method in electromagnetic theory and was rigorous for the case of straight chamber. We re-derived the theory and did find the full ...

An analytical expression has been developed to describe the effects of T2 relaxation and diffusing spatially modulated longitudinal spins during the signal build period of an HOMOGENIZED cross peak. Diffusion of the longitudinal spins results in a lengthening of the effective dipolar demagnetization time, delaying the re-phasing of coupled anti-phase states in the quantum picture. In the classi...
