Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are used to estimate different morphologies, analysis of river profile, delineating drainage basin and drainage pattern associated with lithological and structural changes. The study area is Maroon River located in Khuzestan Province, Iran. In this study geomorphometric analysis based on DEM carried out to understand Maroon river uplift rate and tectonic- erosion...

BACKGROUND Functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with a structurally normal tricuspid valve (TV) may occur secondary to chronic atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the clinical and echocardiographic differences according to functional TR subtypes are unclear. Therefore, characterization of functional TR because of chronic AF (AF-TR) remains undetermined. METHODS AND RESULTS To investigate th...

AIM To evaluate the correlation among changes in fundus autofluorescence (AF) measured using infrared fundus AF (IR-AF) and short-wave length fundus AF (SW-AF) with changes in spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA) in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). METHODS Two hundred and twenty consecutive patients with CSC were included. In addition t...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the synchronic use of multi-enzyme and probiotic on broilers performance. this factorial experimental was conducted in a randomized complete design and included 480 ross broiler chicks (strain 308) which were divided into 6 treatments and each treatment into 4 replicates and 20 chicks in each replicate. the wheat and barley based diet was constant for...

I argue in this paper that vowel length plays no role in the synchronic phonology of Tigrinya: processes affecting vowels should be treated in featural terms only. The evidence in favor of synchronic vowel length is weak, and stronger evidence favors an analysis in which vowel length is phonologically irrelevant. While some researchers have made use of synchronic vowel length to account for ost...

Warthin tumor is the second most frequent benign salivary gland tumor after pleomorphic adenoma; it occurs almost exclusively in the parotid gland and peri-parotideal lymph nodes, although it may rarely present in other locations. It may be multicentric and bilateral in a small percentage of cases. Nasopharyngeal Warthin tumor is very rare, and the presence of a synchronic WT involving nasophar...

A synchronic probability is the probability at a time that an outcome occurs at that very time. Common sense invokes synchronic probabilities with values between 0 and 1 (e.g., the probability right now that the top card of this deck is presently the ace of spades is 1/52), as do scientific theories such as classical statistical mechanics. Recently, philosophers have argued about whether any sy...

OBJECTIVES Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent complication after pulmonary resections. Notwithstanding prevention and early treatment it may show a negative impact on the outcome. We assessed the role of echocardiographic variables to predict the onset of this complication. METHODS One-hundred and thirty-four patients were prospectively evaluated: 72 (53.7%) (Group I) underwent lobectomy ...

In aphasia literature, it has been considered that a speech repetition defect represents the main constituent of conduction aphasia. Conduction aphasia has frequently been interpreted as a language impairment due to lesions of the arcuate fasciculus (AF) that disconnect receptive language areas from expressive ones. Modern neuroradiological studies suggest that the AF connects posterior recepti...
