The excreted estrogen rate of all livestock in the United States is estimated at 134 kg d. The influence of manure treatment on the fate of estrogens is critical in deciding the recycling of over 300 million dry tons of livestock produced annually. The effects of two common manure management practices, heated composting and ambient temperature decomposition, on the fate of 17β-estradiol in poul...

We derive scaling relations based on freefall and isotropy assumptions for the kinematic small-scale dynamo growth rate amplification factor over course of mixing, saturation, decay phases Rayleigh–Taylor instability (RTI) in a fully ionized plasma. The are tested using sets three-dimensional, visco-resistive MHD simulations RTI. They found to hold saturation phase, but exhibit discrepancies du...

introduction : road traffic injuries (rti) are among the most important health problems worldwide as they cause more than 1.2 million deaths and 50 million injuries each year. therefore, the present study aims to evaluate the outcome and aftermath of rti in those who were injured and hospitalized due to a traffic accident. methods : in the present retrospective cohort study with a one-year foll...

The authors show how the approach of Capéraà and Genest (Canad. J. Statist., 1990) can be used to order bivariate distributions with arbitrary marginals by their degree of dependence in the LTD (left-tail decreasing) or RTI (right-tail increasing) sense. Some properties of these new orderings are given, along with applications to Archimedean copulas, order statistics and compound random variables.

Large-eddy simulations are used to demonstrate the effects of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities (RTIs) on constant-pressure, turbulent premixed flames stabilized in a curved rectangular duct. A splitter plate constant radius separates reactant and pilot stream such that flame stabilizes mixing layer between two streams. Centrifugal acceleration due duct curvature induces RTI, increasing higher-dens...

BACKGROUND Diagnosis and treatment of respiratory tract infections (RTI) in a mass-gathering situation such as hajj is a medical challenge that requires quick decision-making and considerable knowledge about its etiology and treatment methods. High prevalence of RTI during Hajj and tendency of caravan physicians to treat of patients quickly in such situation lead to prescription of parenteral s...

BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal injuries are a common cause of morbidity after road traffic injury (RTI) in motorizing countries. District hospitals provide front-line orthopedic care in Uganda and other sub-Saharan African nations. Improving care at the district hospital level is an important component of the World Health Organization's strategy for surgical and trauma systems strengthening, but th...

BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes significant mortality in patients with hematological diseases, but diagnosis and treatment are uncertain. METHODS We retrospectively identified RSV-infected patients with upper or lower respiratory tract infection (RTI) by culture, antigen testing, and polymerase chain reaction from November 2002 through April 2007. Patients with severe immu...

Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) is a fundamental physical process in fluids and plasmas. RTI ubiquitous must be considered the field of high-energy-density physics, such as space astrophysics, inertial confinement fusion. In this work, two-dimensional numerical simulations laser-driven with different density perturbations are performed using radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulation program (F...

Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a neuromodulatory peptide, acting via a G-protein-coupled receptor to regulate sleep, anxiety and behavioral arousal. Recent research has found that intracerebroventricular NPS can increase cocaine and alcohol self-administration in rodents, suggesting a key role in reward-related neurocircuitry. It is hypothesized that antagonism of the NPS system might represent a nove...
