Recently, Squire & Hopkins (2017) showed any coupled dust-gas mixture is subject to a class of linear “resonant drag instabilities” (RDI). These can drive large dust-to-gas ratio fluctuations even at arbitrarily small dust-to-gas mass ratios μ. Here, we explore the RDI in the simple case where the gas satisfies neutral hydrodynamics and supports acoustic waves (ω2 = cs k 2). The gas and dust ar...

In this preliminary study, the effect of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) on commercial quality (size, weight, soluble solids, firmness and colour), content carotenoids, phenolics sugars black tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) ?Sunchocola? was studied. Two water treatments were applied: control with 82,7 398 mm supplied, respectively. Tomato first cluster harvested at three stages maturity The...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with left atrial (LA) remodeling, which increases the thromboembolic risk fibrillation (AF) and recurrence after catheter ablation AF. This study aimed to assess association between severity OSA LA remodeling. Method In 126 patients AF who underwent for (male 78.4% male, 58....

OBJECTIVE To study changes in sleep behavior and quality of life in obese children after adenotonsillectomy for obstructive sleep apnea. Study design and setting Prospective study at the University of New Mexico Children's Hospital. METHODS Children who met inclusion criteria and had a respiratory distress index (RDI) greater than 5 were enrolled in the study and underwent adenotonsillectomy....

Chandler walnut (Juglans regia cv Chandler) on Northern California Black (Juglans hindsii) and Paradox (Juglans hindsii x Juglans regia) rootstocks were irrigated to achieve two levels of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) in 2002 thru 2005. The RDI strategy was to maintain high midday stem water potential (MSWP) early in the growing season to favor shoot growth and nut size then gradually decr...

BACKGROUND A prospective study was performed on the use of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for esophageal cancer (EC) with involved-field radiation therapy (IFRT), based on 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography. Prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) were analyzed. METHODS Eligible patients included 63 adults with newly diagnosed, untreated, inoperable stage I-IV EC with lymph node...

Background and Objective: Depression is commonly reported in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea/Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAS). We aimed to assess the association between OSAS severity and depressive symptoms in patients with OSAS. Materials and Methods: A total of 337 patients with symptoms of OSAS were visited for psychological testing prior to beginning diagnosis for the syndrome between 2012 -...

INTRODUCTION Diagnosis of sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) depends on nocturnal polysomnography (nPSG), but waiting time for the test is long. Although, performing PSG in patients with excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) at daytime (dPSG) was questioned, role and methods are not clear. The aim of the study was to assess the role of dPSG in the diagnosis of SAS, and the correlation between nPSG and dPS...

This article reviews the complexity of adaptation and symptomatology in adult survivors of childhood neglect and abuse who meet criteria for the proposed diagnosis of Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (Complex PTSD), also known as Disorders of Extreme Stress, Not Otherwise Specified (DESNOS). A specific EMDR protocol, Resource Development and Installation (RDI), is proposed as an effective ...
