The use of recent technologies for the increase of growth indexes and the plants yields is an important aspects and till now many research works for this has been done. One of these efforts is the usage of magnetic water and zeolite for the increase of yield plants. This research work is an study on the effects of magnetic water and zeolite that has been done on frame work of pore random design...

Two women with connective tissue disease developed a characteristic steroid-induced myopathy. Reduced maximal transrespiratory pressures indicated reduced respiratory muscle strength. Gradual steroid dosage tapering resulted in prompt clinical improvement and marked increases in respiratory muscle strength, maximal inspiratory pressure increasing by 33 percent in one patient and by 70 percent i...

Researchers found similar rates of events in both groups: 15 versus 17, screened and not screened, respectively. In the screened group, 409 participants with normal results and 50 with small MPI defects had lower cardiac event rates than the 33 with moderate or large MPI defects. More participants in the screened group underwent catheter angiography than in the unscreened group, yet the screene...

The biggest development challenge facing Pakistan is how to meet the millennium development goal of bringing down the incidence of poverty from the current level of 33 percent to 18 percent by 2015. It may be recalled that by reaching this goal, we would have only regained the level we had attained in 1988-89. This experience shows that it is quite easy to relapse into higher incidence of pover...

The past few years have seen a sharp increase in premiums for medical malpractice liability insurance, which health care professionals buy to protect themselves from the costs of being sued (see Figure 1 on page 2). On average, premiums for all physicians nationwide rose by 15 percent between 2000 and 2002—nearly twice as fast as total health care spending per person. The increases during that ...

Carbon dioxide currently accounts for about 49 percent of the radiative forcing of the atmosphere that is attributable to greenhouse gases (3.0 watts per square meter [W m-2]; Houghton et al. 2001). Tropospheric ozone and black carbon are responsible for another 18 percent, and the well-mixed greenhouse gases (GHGs)—principally methane, nitrous oxide, and various halocarbons—are responsible for...

Medicare offers substantial protection from medical expenditure risk, protection that has increased in recent years. At age 65, out-of-pocket expenditures drop by 33 percent at the mean and 53 percent at the ninety-fifth percentile. Medical-related financial strain, such as difficulty paying bills and collections agency contact, is dramatically reduced. Nonetheless, using a stylized expected ut...

JEL Classifications: JI, R2 College educated couples are increasingly located in large metropolitan areas. These areas were home to 33 percent of all college educated couples in 1940, 40 percent in 1970, and 48 percent in 1990. We investigate whether this trend can be explained by increasing urbanization of the college educated or the growth of dual career households and the resulting severity ...

Abstract. This study estimated raindrop size distribution (DSD) and rainfall intensity with an infrared surveillance camera in dark conditions. Accordingly, rain streaks were extracted using a k-nearest-neighbor (KNN)-based algorithm. The was DSD based on physical optics analysis. verified disdrometer for the two events. results are summarized as follows. First, KNN-based algorithm can accurate...

in this study, the performance of aquacrop model to predict yield production of winter wheat (roshan and gods varieties), water and solute balance of soil profile was evaluated under water and salinity stresses. field experiments were conducted with three levels of saline irrigation water including: s1, s2 and s3corresponding to 1.4, 4.5 and 9.6 ds/m, respectively, and four levels of irrigation...
