OBJECTIVES To describe the relation with age of risk of reported injury after a fall among women at work in two countries, the United Kingdom and Sweden, with particular emphasis on fractures, and to interpret these data. METHODS Rates of accidents compiled under the national reporting regulations of each country during a two year period were described by age, sex, cause (fall on the level, f...

tea is very important product in many countries due to huge consumption in the world and its valuable contains. the traditional harvesting method needs to be improved due to its effect on yield and quality. mechanical plucking as a substitution to conventional method is spreading quickly and is necessary to be investigated for proper adoption. one of crucial factor has been noted to be the heig...

Intermediate wheatgrass [IWG; Thinopyrum intermedium (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey] is a perennial cereal and forage crop marketed for its grain, Kernza. Lodging, which correlated with plant height, can reduce IWG grain yield. Our goal was to determine the effects of growth regulator trinexapac-ethyl (TE) application rate; harvest timing; N rate on lodging, aboveground biomass, yield, index. Th...

The potential of large scale Yb-loaded liquid scintillators as proposed for solar neutrino spectroscopy are investigated with respect to double beta decay. The potential for β−β− decay of Y b as well as the β/EC decay for Y b is discussed. Not only getting for the first time an experimental half-life limit on Y b decay, this will even be at least comparable or better than existing ones from dif...

Administration of 30 mg folic acid by mouth caused a significant fall in cerebrospinal fluid homovanillic acid concentration in 11 subjects. There was no significant change of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid concentration. The fall was less marked in five patients on anticonvulsant medication and failed to reach statistical significance. Neither homovanillic acid nor 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid conce...

In order to study the effects of three operations of rangelands on the properties of vegetation in rangelands, this research was conducted in Chaat Gonbad, Golestan province, Iran in 2004. Chaat area is located in 50 km of border road of Dashlibroun to Maravetappeh in North of Attract River (border of Iran and Turkmenistan). The Altitude is 70 m, annual rainfall is 170 mm and annual temperature...

Falls are one of the major risks for seniors living alone at home. Computer vision systems, which do not require to wear sensors, offer a new and promising solution for fall detection. In this work, an occlusion robust method is presented based on two features: human centroid height relative to the ground and body velocity. Indeed, the first feature is an efficient solution to detect falls as t...

this study was investigated reproductive differences in fall and spring migrants of caspian lamprey (caspiomyzon wagneri) in the shirud river (southern caspian sea)in 2008. 89 and 15 specimens were sampled in in spring and fall, respectively. generally, fall migratory fish had a significantly lower condition factor (cf) compared to the spring migrants. there was significant relationship between...
