Abstract—Flash flood is occurred in short time rainfall interval: from 1 hour to 12 hours in small and medium basins. Flash floods typically have two characteristics: large water flow and big flow velocity. Flash flood is occurred at hill valley site (strip of lowland of terrain) in a catchment with large enough distribution area, steep basin slope, and heavy rainfall. The risk of flash floods ...

Tomographic phase microscopy (TPM) facilitates three-dimensional imaging of live cells based on quantitative measurement of the distribution of the refractive index, but without the need for specific staining. However, the limited imaging speed and the anisotropic resolution of the reconstructed refractive index map remain major obstacles to the extension and further application of TPM. To addr...

this study used quantifying factors affecting desertification based on the iranian model of desertification potentialassessment (imdpa) to assess the current status of desertification in bordekhun region, iran. bordekhun region has anarea of 214.11 km2 and is located near the city of daiyer in boushehr province. first, a working unit map of the regionwas selected as the basic map for evaluation...

Long-term MODIS vegetation index records were used to extract regularly-repeating seasonal and interannual greenness cycles in Hawaiian ecosystems using harmonic analysis. With two vegetation indices, NDVI and EVI, the MODIS system provided an opportunity to combine the two measures and create a hybrid approach to the leaf phenology study in a diversity of Hawaiian ecosystems. Despite data nois...

INTRODUCTION We sought to examine the cardiac consequences of early administration of norepinephrine in severely hypotensive sepsis patients hospitalized in a medical intensive care unit of a university hospital. METHODS We included 105 septic-shock patients who already had received volume resuscitation. All received norepinephrine early because of life-threatening hypotension and the need to...
