physiological factors have effects on most forest parameters such as forest classification so that understanding knowledge about this subject is important to manage forests. the forests of sorkhake-sanjabi village with area of 1645 ha located in eslam abad city, kermanshah province, iran were selected. 23 sample plots with rectangular shape (40m*50m) were selected and the species, origin of spe...

abstract. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of topographical factors on the classification of grassland plant communities in the rangelands of ghorkhud, northern khorasan province, iran. for sampling, land units were specified. a floristic list was prepared using minimal area method based on the nested plot (braun-blanquet method). 116 10m2 furrows were selected. within e...

The larval morphology of Hypsiboas leptolineatus was studied. The tadpole has an ovoid body in lateral view, wider than deep; snout rounded with dorsal reniform nostrils; spiracle sinistral with lateral wall attached to body; anal tube dextral; tail fins convex with acuminate tip; oral disc ventral; labial tooth row formula is 2(2)/3(1); moderately developed beaks with serrated jaw sheaths. The...

This is a continuation of the papers of Braun and Fløystad [BF], Cook [C1] and Braun and Cook [BC] bounding the degree of smooth surfaces not of general type in P using Generic Initial Ideal Theory. We will use and expand on the results of [BC] using Liaison Theory. We will further restrict the configurations of the generic initial ideal of a generic hyperplane section of the surface by conside...

Four commonly used end-line filters, one with a charge-modified hydrophilic nylon filter (ELD96; Pall Biomedical Ltd., Portsmouth, United Kingdom), one with an unmodified nylon filter (FAE020; Pall Biomedical), and two with hydrophilic cellulose ester filters (Ivex-HP, Millipore Corp., Bedford, Mass.; Sterifix, Braun-Gelman, Brussels, Belgium), were evaluated for their endotoxin-removing capaci...

This paper describes development of an inverse building model and its application in studying the performance of a demand-limiting (DL) control strategy. The demand-limiting strategy involves precooling (PC) a building during unoccupied times, maintaining the zone temperature setpoints at the lower limit of comfort during off-peak, occupied periods, and then limiting the peak cooling rate to a ...

INTRODUCTION Thrombosis or thromboflebitis of the superficial dorsal vein of the penis, known as penile Mondor's disease was first described by Braun-Falco in 1955. CASE PRESENTATION A physically healthy 32-year-old man proceed in our unit suffered from a painful swelling, on the dorsal aspect of his penis, being more painful during erections. Ultrasonography examination revealed a non-compre...

The success of Environmental Health Perspectives is connected to the careers of many members of the International Society of Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE), the International Society of Exposure Sciences (ISES), and the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ)—three societies that will hold, for the first time ever, a joint annual meeting in 2013. The conference, " Env...
