Circadian rhythms produce daily changes in critical elements of athletic performance. We explored the significance of performing at different circadian times in the National Football League (NFL) over the last 25 seasons. West Coast (WC) NFL teams should have a circadian advantage over East Coast (EC) teams during Monday Night Football (MNF) games because WC teams are essentially playing closer...

The new compound MnF(2-x)(OH)x (x ~ 0.8) was synthesized by a hydrothermal route from a 1 : 1 molar ratio of lithium fluoride and manganese acetate in an excess of water. The crystal structure was determined using the combination of single crystal X-ray and neutron powder diffraction measurements. The magnetic properties of the title compound were characterized by magnetic susceptibility and lo...

The study was aimed at evaluating the antioxidant activity of hydroalcoholic solution extracts of Urtica dioica L. (UD), Malva neglecta Wallr. (MN) plants and their mixture. In this study, flower (UDF), root (UDR), seed (UDS) and leaf (UDL) parts of UD and flower (MNF) and leaf (MNL) parts of MN were used. The antioxidant properties of hydroalcoholic extracts and their mixture were evaluated us...

This study employs Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) to estimate environmental impact of salt plugs using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). VNIR and SWIR datasets of ASTER were assessed in mapping and detecting Jahani, Konarsiah, and Kohe Gach salt plugs and the affected areas located at SE Shiraz, Iran. PC color composite and geological map of the region were u...

The RV Investigator is Australia’s new noise quietened Marine National Facility (MNF) vessel built to comply with the DNV silent-R specification. This radiated noise specification was based on the ICES 209 CRR specification designed with the main goal of minimising vessel avoidance for fisheries surveys. Noise quietening was specified for RV Investigator to improve the acoustic detection of ins...

Thermal anomalies can be detected with the help of imagery provided by satellite systems such as Advanced Spaceborne Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). ASTER provides five thermal bands for effective analysis anomalies. In order to achieve this goal, considering physical phenomena, many signal processing methods algorithms used. study, depending on studied area, heat characteristics ex...

Hyperspectral images (HSI) contain a wide range of information, the most prominent technology for observing earth. However, using an original HSI high-dimensional datacube, classification task faces significant challenges since it has high computational cost. As result, dimensionality reduction is indispensable. A dimension method been introduced in this paper, including feature extraction and ...

Leakages in water distribution systems have great economic and environmental impacts are a major issue for utilities. In this work, the balance Minimum Night Flow (MNF) method evaluating amount of loss, as well power Fixed Variable Area Discharge (FAVAD) equations analyzing relationship between leakage pressure, were applied to fully monitored District Metered (DMA) located Gorino Ferrarese (FE...

Abstract In the new world view, water is considered an economic-social commodity and a basic human need. This work aims to investigate relationship between corrosion changes in minimum night flow (MNF) rate systems. Changes MNF as dependent variable are affected by independent variables such total unreported loss, allowed consumption, network field leakage. First of all, share loss due was inve...
