Evaluation of volume compressibility coefficient variations incement stabilized bentonite clay using (wet & dry)

Determining the variations of monthly wet and dry regimes using Angot index in Ardabil Province

Drought is the main causes of significant water imbalance, increase of crop losses or limitation in water consumption, and finally large number of socioeconomic and environmental problems. Precipitation amount is the most important climatic variables that its spatiotemporal variability has a great influence on water resources availability along with the effects of climate change. The Angot inde...

Volume optimization in surgical patients: wet or dry?

Perioperative fluid therapy remains the subject of active controversy. Indeed, clinical trials investigating the effects of fluid administration on outcome in surgical patients report controversial results. Critical review of these trials reveals that current standard fluid therapy is not at all evidence-based. Although it is evident that fluid overload should be avoided, replacement of fluid l...

Monitoring wet and dry process using precipitation changes

Are Dry Mergers Dry, Moist, or Wet?

We present a spectral analysis of a sample of red-sequence galaxies identified by van Dokkum (2005) as dry merger remnants and ongoing dry mergers. Kinematics, stellar population absorption features, and ionisation from emission lines, are derived. We find that approximately half of the sample showing strong tidal features have younger stellar populations than a control sample at a given veloci...

Biofilm formation of Pasteurella multocida on bentonite clay

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Biofilms are structural communities of bacterial cells enshrined in a self produced polymeric matrix. The studies on biofilm formation of Pasteurella multocida have become imperative since it is a respiratory pathogen and its biofilm mode could possibly be one of its virulence factors for survival inside a host. The present study describes a biofilm assay for P. multoc...
