Urban drainage systems are in transition from functioning simply as a transport system to becoming an important element of urban flood protection measures providing considerable influence on infrastructure sustainability. Rapid urbanization combined with the implications climate change is one major emerging challenges. The increased concerns water security and ageing existing new challenges imp...

Domestic urban streams face insufficient base flow and consequently become dry in drought season, vulnerable to water quality deterioration ecological impairment, due contaminants introduced from the pollutants. Many efforts are being made improve natural by actively enforcing restoration projects of streams. Gulpocheon is a national stream flowing through Incheon-si Gimpo-si. As March 2019, re...

BACKGROUND Dizziness as a common symptom affecting many aspects of the patient's life and it is hard to be fully evaluated. The dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) is a reliable self-perceived questionnaire in the evaluation of dizziness impacts. The purposes of this study are translation of the DHI to Persian language and measuring its psychometric properties, including face, content, discrimin...

Tyrosinase (EC 1.14.18.1) is a copper-containing metalloglycoprotein that catalyzes several steps in the melanin pigment biosynthetic pathway; the hydroxylation of tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (dopa) and the subsequent oxidation of dopa to dopaquinone. It has been proposed that tyrosinase is also able to oxidize 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI), a later product in the melanogenic pathway, ...

OBJECTIVE To translate the Dizziness Handicap Inventory into German (DHI-G) and investigate reliability, assess the association between selected items of the University of California Los Angeles Dizziness Questionnaire and the DHI-G, and compare the scores of patients and healthy participants. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional design. SETTING Tertiary center for vertigo, dizziness, or balance di...

Balance Function test data alone cannot capture the reaction that a patient has to balance system disease. The present investigation examined the relations among components of the balance function examination (electronystagmography, rotational testing, and platform posturography) and self-perceived dizziness handicap, as quantified by the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI). The DHI is a 25-item...

A flexible mesh hydrodynamic model was developed to simulate flooding of the LaHave River watershed in Nova Scotia, Canada, from the combined effects of fluvial discharge and ocean tide and surge conditions. The analysis incorporated high-resolution lidar elevation data, bathymetric river and coastal chart data, and river cross-section information. These data were merged to generate a seamless ...

We have revisited the photochromic spiro-dihydroindolizine/betaine (DHI/B) system applying state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) calculations in combination with stationary and time-resolved absorption measurements. DHI/B-systems are becoming increasingly important as potential molecular machines, molecular switches, and photoswitchable electron-acceptors. The knowledge of the exact ...

Acute hepatic failure (AHF), which leads to an extremely high mortality rate, has become the focus of attention in clinic. In this study, Danhong injection (DHI) was investigated to evaluate the preventive and protective effect on AHF induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and D-galactosamine (GalN) in mice. For AHF induction, ICR mice were intraperitoneally injected with D-GalN (700 mg/kg) and LP...
