With the onset of the HI Parkes All-Sky Survey (HIPASS), a new view of the high-velocity cloud (HVC) distribution in the southern sky is being revealed. The dense spatial sampling and unbiased coverage of HIPASS gives it multiple advantages over previous surveys of the southern sky. Detailed views of the clouds’ structure and large mosaics of the HI sky allow us to link individual concentration...

The relationship between urban morphology and thermal conditions has been subject of several scientific studies and, recently, the role vegetation in this context investigated, aiming to understand its contributions improvement comfort outdoor environments. This study aimed present sky view factor (FVC) comfort. A systematic literature review on was carried out by applying an adaptation Preferr...

Recent research findings postulate that adipocytes and endothelial cells (EC) may share a common progenitor. However, the interlinking pathways between adipose tissue and endothelium, and the differentiation potential of cells to convert from one tissue into the other via progenitor cells have not been elucidated and are therefore the focus of this study. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells w...

Aquatic vegetation dramatically shifts the main flow, secondary flow and turbulent structures in a meandering channel. In this study, hydrodynamics bending channel with patch (VP) has been numerically studied under variation of curvature ratios (CRs=0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) density i.e. Solid Volume Fractions (SVF=1.13%, 4.86%). Both effects on shear helical bed stress bulk drag coefficients are twe...

objective: tendon never returns to its complete biological and mechanical properties after repair. bone marrow and, recently, adipose tissue have been used as sources of mesenchymal stem cells which have been proven to enhance tendon healing. in the present study, we compared the effects of allotransplantation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (bmscs) and adipose derived stromal ...

Urban environments have a strong influence on the land surface temperature (LST) in urban areas. Understanding relationship between LST and environmental factors can help develop effective strategies to reduce high LSTs areas, which is critical for mitigating heat island effect. Previous studies focused correlation that drive its formation, without considering influences of neighboring environm...

We have previously shown that myocardial infarction (MI) immediately treated with an epicardial construct containing stromal vascular fraction (SVF) from adipose tissue preserved microvascular function and left ventricle contractile mechanisms. In order to evaluate a more clinically relevant condition, we investigated the cardiac recovery potential of an SVF construct implanted onto an establis...

Background: In many developing countries, the risk of contracting a food-borne disease is high after consuming contaminated ready-to-eat Street-Vended Foods (SVFs). The main objective of this research was to assess the microbiological quality of SVF groups sold in the Johannesburg Metropolis, South Africa. Methods: A stratified random sampling procedure was used for collecting the ready-to-eat...

INTRODUCTION The semantic verbal fluency test (SVF) is sensitive to detecting cognitive decline. It is fast and easy to use in any cultural context; therefore, it is included in most of the neuropsychological assessment protocols. OBJECTIVE To estimate normative values for the SVF test (animals), in an elderly population aged 65 years and over. MATERIAL AND METHOD 1233 subjects who were hea...
