In shallow alluvial aquifers characterized by coarse sediments, the evapotranspiration rates from groundwater are often not accounted for due to their low capillarity. Nevertheless, this assumption can lead errors in hydrogeological balance estimation. To quantify such impacts, a numerical flow model using MODFLOW was set up Tronto river aquifer (Italy). Different estimates of were retrieved on...

COVID-19, a virus of the size 0.12 microns, had crippled global economy with 19.14 million people infected as April 15, 2020, increased to 37.11 October 11, 2020 per COVID-19 Weekly Epidemiological Update published by World Health Organization (WHO). The count March 23, 2021 was more than 122 million, suppressing last year’s rate growth same. Economic activities across globe been stalled after ...

The concepts studied during Offset Stream Technology (OST) test were all designed to produce directional jet noise reduction in a separate flow engine configuration by redirecting the fan stream relative to the core stream, creating a thicker fan flow on one side of the jet. Previous studies, conducted at bypass ratios of five or less showed that lower noise levels would result on the thickened...

The increasing number of immigrant students on the Chilean educational system stresses importance study teachers’ attitudes to multiculturality in schools settings. Nevertheless, there is a lack adequate measurement instruments apply population. aim this work was validate Attitude Multiculturality at School Scale (León del Barco et al., 2007) sample, composed by N=160 teachers. Confirmatory fac...

Abstract Between 2007 and 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) used purchase assumption (P&A) as a resolution method to auction 492 failed institutions healthy banks. While existing studies reveal positive value effects on winning bidders of these auctions, this study finds that losing experience negative abnormal stock returns. Furthermore, bidders’ stockholders react neg...

Identification and characterization of genetic variants that either cause or predispose to diabetes are a major focus of biomedical research. As of early 2007, the molecular basis of most forms of monogenic diabetes resulting from beta-cell dysfunction is known and, in particular, there has been recent success in delineating the genetic aetiology of neonatal diabetes. Finding genes predisposing...
