In this study, a white light particle image velocimetry (WL PIV) system which employs a light sheet generated with a flash was used. The system was developed in order to provide a cost-efficient and safe alternative to laser systems while keeping the accuracy limits required for hydraulic model tests. To investigate the accuracy of WL PIV method under different flow conditions, experiments were...

The WL-rank of a digraph $$\Gamma$$ is defined to be the rank coherent configuration . WL-dimension smallest positive integer m for which identified by m-dimensional Weisfeiler–Leman algorithm. We classify Deza circulant graphs 4. In additional, it proved that each these has at most 3. Finally, we establish some families have 5 or 6 and

In Ethiopia, stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is one of the most serious wheat diseases. On vulnerable cultivars, it has ability to cause yield losses up 100%. The infection responses forty-two lines at seedling stage against eleven isolates race TTKSK (Ug99 race), TTRTF, TKTTF (Digalu JRCQC, TKKTF, TRTTF, TTTTF, TTKTF, TTKTT, RRTTF, and TKPTF were evaluated in a study...

The SW-WL'03 papers include papers that are primarily concerned with topics on applications of the Semantic Web technology for education. In section 1 (on...

OBJECTIVE Examine the relationship between 1- and 2-month weight loss (WL) and 8-year WL among participants enrolled in a lifestyle intervention. METHODS 2,290 Look AHEAD participants (BMI: 35.65 ± 5.93 kg/m(2) ) with type 2 diabetes received an intensive behavioral WL intervention. RESULTS 1- and 2-month WL were associated with yearly WL through Year 8 (P's < 0.0001). At Month 1, participa...

OBJECTIVE To describe differences in weight loss (WL) trajectory patterns at a publicly funded clinical weight management centre. METHODS Groups with differences in the attainment of a 5% total body WL and percentage WL patterns over time were identified in 7,121 patients who attended a physician lead multi-disciplinary clinical lifestyle weight management that predominantly focused on educat...

BACKGROUND Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIV) insertion is a common, painful experience for many children in the pediatric emergency department. Although local anesthetics such as injected buffered lidocaine have been shown to be effective at reducing pain and anxiety associated with PIV insertion, they are not routinely used. ELA-Max, a topical local anesthetic, has the advantage of needle-...
