The transport of a non-uniform bed load in river is complicated process and has enormous implications on the sediment flux anomalous riverbed evolution. To investigate characteristics related particle interactions, real-time monitoring system was developed to determine instant rate grain composition load. Doppler Velocimetry used synchronously measure fluctuating velocity high frequency. A tota...

Physical inactivity is a potent stimulus for vascular remodeling, leading to a marked decrease in conduit artery diameter. However, little is known about the impact of physical inactivity on artery wall thickness or wall:lumen ratio or the potential of exercise countermeasures to modify artery wall thickness. The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of 60 days of bed rest, with or wit...

Prevalence of healthcare associated infections remains high in patients in intensive care units (ICU), estimated at 23.4% in 2011. It is important to reduce the overall risk while minimizing the cost and disruption to service provision by targeted infection control interventions. The aim of this study was to develop a monitoring tool to analyze the spatial variability of bacteriological contami...

CONTEXT Binge-eating disorder (BED)-a syndrome that only recently has attracted scientific attention-is often seen in obese individuals, especially those with severe obesity. However, it remains unclear whether BED represents an etiologically distinct behavioral phenotype of obesity or simply a nonspecific eating pattern sometimes seen in obese individuals. OBJECTIVE To test whether BED aggre...

conclusions the overall infestation rate in the present study is probably one of the lowest infestation rates in iran and in the region. it appears necessary to examine pupils by trained persons for early detection of infestation. results according to the obtained results, pediculosis spp. prevalence was 2% among male and female students of khorramshahr primary schools; it was 2.6% in females a...

The relationship between supraspinatus tendon thickness and the acromiohumeral distance (AHD) at both rest position shoulder elevation is still to be explored in those with chronic pain. aim compare occupation ratio (OR) 0° 60° of measured by ultrasound imaging symptomatic shoulder, contralateral asymptomatic healthy subjects. This was across-sectional, observational study. A sample 56 particip...
