BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States (US), and South Asian immigrants (SAIs) have a higher risk of CAD compared to Caucasians. Traditional risk factors may not completely explain high risk, and some of the unknown risk factors need to be explored. This short review is mainly focused on the possible role of dysfunctional hi...

A combination of geologic descriptions of cores, borehole geophysics, surfacegeophysical soundings and water-sample analyses was used to characterize flow in the surficial aquifer in the vicinity of Big Cypress National Preserve, Collier County, south Florida. The geophysical analysis augmented by aquifer tests and piezometer measurements showed that the surficial aquifer is under unconfined co...

Prior systematic reviews of rehabilitation for nondescript shoulder pain have not yielded clinically applicable results for those patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS). The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence for rehabilitation interventions for SAIS. The authors used data source as the method. The computerized bibliographic databases of Medline, the Cumulative Ind...

On atoll islands, the fresh water lens (FWL) constitutes, for island population, a very important resource various usages. Its shape and thickness highly depend on underground characteristics of several rock formations which constitute island: upper Holocene sediments lower Pleistocene limestone rocks separated by Unconformity. In this study, simple investigation methods were applied Pacific Ra...

Para manutenção do ciclo biológico de Schistosoma mansoni em laboratório, é necessário que moluscos hospedeiros intermediários sejam mantidos condições favoráveis para o seu desenvolvimento. a avaliação da biologia reprodutiva (fecundidade e fertilidade), efeito dos nutrientes (alface ração peixe) substratos (argila, mistura sais CaCO₃) suas combinações, foram formados 10 grupos experimentais c...

Groundwater is a reservoir of fresh water located beneath the ground surface in soil pore spaces and fractures lithology formations. contained aquifer layer has certain depth. Aquifer measurement was conducted with five tracks using AGI Super Sting R1 IP tool spacing 25 m track length 675 Balangan County. This study aims to determine 2D cross-sectional model, analyze types, depth, thickness, ty...

In this paper an attempt is made to offer insights into local slope failure mechanisms from the perspective of hydrogeology. The hypothesis examined envisages that the hydraulic conductivity distribution in a weathered profile includes a relatively high hydraulic conductivity zone associated with the jointed rock mass near rockhead. There is evidence locally for such a condition. The groundwate...

Failure behaviors of the floor rocks under coal seam mining in conditions hard magma rock roof and confined aquifer are studied. Based on theory stresses elasticity mechanics, combined effects abutment pressure induced by water thin aquicludes were considered, a mechanical model was constructed along strike working face. An analytical solution stress distribution derived rocks, distributions ve...
