the aim of this study was to determine the most suitable shaking frequency and amplitude for shake harvesting esfahan's edible fig (ficus carica cv. sabz). a hand held limb shaker with adjustable shaking frequency and amplitude was used for this study. a 3x3 factorial experiment with three levels of oscillating frequency (10, 12 and 14 hz) and three levels of shaking amplitude (20, 32.5 and 45 ...

PURPOSE To investigate the anatomical and refractive outcomes in patients with Type 1 retinopathy of prematurity in Zone I. METHODS The medical records of 101 eyes of 51 consecutive infants with Type 1 retinopathy of prematurity in Zone I were analyzed. Infants were treated by conventional laser photocoagulation (Group I), combined intravitreal bevacizumab injection and Zone I sparing laser (...

Three devastating earthquakes of MW ≥ 5.9 activated a complex system high-angle normal, antithetic, and sub-horizontal detachment faults during the 2016–2017 central Italy seismic sequence. Waveform cross-correlation based double-difference location nearly 400,000 aftershocks illuminate complex, fine-scale structures interacting fault zones. The Mt. Vettore–Mt. Bove (VB) normal exhibits wide da...

exudative retinal detachment (erd) may be seen with many ocular pathologies including malignancies. among malignant causes, metastases of breast and lung carcinoma are most common. a 50-year-old woman referred to our clinic with history of decreased visual acuity in her right eye since 3 months before referral. the visual acuity was counting fingers at 2 meters and 6/10 in the right and left ey...

SUMMARY A numerical simulation of earthquake cycles at the subduction zone a plate interface was conducted, using rate- and state-dependent friction law, to examine aseismic sliding processes propagating into locked interface. In model, reverse fault is assumed in 2-D uniform elastic half-space, relative motion imposed with constant velocity. Simulated earthquakes occur repeatedly shallower sei...

 Abstract Background: Transpupillary thermotherapy is a new treatment for subfoveal choroidal neovascularization which needs further evaluation. This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of transpupillary thermotherapy on regression of occult subfoveal choroidal neovascularization with or without pigment epithelial detachment in patients with age-related macular degeneration. Methods: In a ...

Abstract Oceanic crust formed at slow-spreading ridges is currently subducted in only a few places on Earth and the tectonic seismogenic imprint of process poorly understood. Here we present seismic bathymetric data from Northeastern Lesser Antilles Subduction Zone where thick sediments enable imaging to greater depths than ocean basins. This dataset highlights pervasive fabric characterized by...
