The preovulatory GnRH/LH surge in the ewe is stimulated by a rise in the circulating estradiol concentration that occurs in conjunction with preovulatory ovarian follicle development. In the presence of high levels of progesterone, such as during the luteal phase of the estrous/menstrual cycle, the stimulatory effects of elevated estradiol on GnRH/LH secretion are blocked. Recent work in the ew...

Control and Modeling for stall and surge phenomenon in axial flow compressors have received great importance in recent times. In power generation plant and aerospace propulsion compression system are prone to the aerodynamic instabilities of stall and surge. In aero engine compressors higher pressure ratio has always been a growing stipulates which has over involved by diverse rotating stall an...

We investigated the relationship between the day-night blood pressure (BP) dip and the early morning BP surge in an cohort of 3012 initially untreated subjects with essential hypertension. The day-night reduction in systolic BP showed a direct association with the sleep trough (r = 0.564; P < 0.0001) and the preawakening (r = 0.554; P < 0.0001) systolic BP surge. Over a mean follow-up period of...

Surge protective device is a part of internal lightning protection and it crucially to divert the certain amount of surges to the ground before the protected load able to handle. Therefore, this paper studying the enhancement of SPD through the effect of adding a filter in hybrid surge protection circuit using simulation modeling. Ordinarily, filter is used as in eliminating noises in certain a...

Typhoon Haiyan, which struck the Philippines in November 2013, was an extremely intense tropical cyclone that had a catastrophic impact. The minimum central pressure of Typhoon Haiyan was 895 hPa, making it the strongest typhoon to make landfall on a major island in the western North Pacific Ocean. The characteristics of Typhoon Haiyan and its related storm surge are estimated by numerical expe...

The purpose of this pilot study was to correlate the three biologic markers of the Ovulon fertility monitor (a long-term predictive peak about 6 days before ovulation, a short-term predictive peak about 1 day before ovulation, and a nadir at the time of ovulation) with the peak in cervical mucus and the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge in the urine. Ten volunteer subjects (mean age 30.2 years) mo...

A high resolution, three-dimensional numerical circulation model with flooding and drying capabilities is used to simulate the Hurricane Charley storm surge in the Charlotte Harbor vicinity. The model-simulated surge is in sufficiently good agreement with observations at four stations for which data exist to allow us to use the model to explain the surge evolution and to account for the inlet b...

[1] Hurricane storm surge presents a major hazard for the United States. We apply a model‐based risk assessment methodology to investigate hurricane storm surge risk for New York City (NYC). We couple a statistical/deterministic hurricane model with the hydrodynamic model SLOSH (sea, lake, and overland surges from hurricanes) to generate a large number of synthetic surge events; the SLOSH model...

BACKGROUND Currently GnRH analogue injections are used to prevent premature LH surges in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology. This was a pilot study to determine the safety and effectiveness of nimodipine, an oral calcium channel blocker, to delay the mid-cycle spontaneous LH surge in women with regular menstrual cycles. METHODS Eight women with regular menstrual cycles self-mon...
