Abstract In order to overcome the technical defects of traditional foundation pit support technology, such as complex serious pollution, waste resources, and obstruction construction surrounding underground structures, fully recovered deep system pressure dispersion anchor cable steel module is designed. The force compression deformation modular tested on-site. test results show that: (1) whole...

Abstract In this paper, I use a unique micro-database of 254,000 individuals distributed in 12 Spanish mining municipalities to explore the households’ decision-making processes regarding their children’s education. This database covers living Asturias, Cantabria, Basque Country, Huelva, Almería, and Murcia from 1877 1924. Focusing on around 42,000 children between eight 18 years old, findings ...

The use of polymorphic markers in breeding programmes could make selection more accurate and efficient. A total of 324 individuals from six Iranian cattle populations (Sarabi, Golpayegani, Sistani, Taleshi, Mazandarani, Dashtiyari), F1 Golpayegani × Brown Swiss and Iranian buffalo populations were genotypedfor the Pit-1 HinfI and leptin Sau3AI polymorphisms by the polymerase chain reactio...

Pit latrines can provide improved household sanitation, but without effective and inexpensive emptying options, they are often abandoned once full and may pose a public health threat. Emptying techniques can be difficult, as the sludge contents of each pit latrine are different. The design of effective emptying techniques (e.g., pumps) is limited by a lack of data characterizing typical in situ...

BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between narrow-band imaging (NBI) magnifying observation using the surface pattern as the main evaluation criterion and pit pattern diagnosis on the basis of magnifying observation using a dye in relation to the characteristics of colorectal tumors according to their morphologies. METHODS In this study, NBI observation and p...

Hepatic pit cells are a population of large granular lymphocytes that substantially contribute to hepatic immunity. Studies have proven that pit cells have a role in liver regeneration, but the details of the relationship between pit cells and liver regeneration is not clear at present. We subjected rats to a two-third hepatectomy; pit cells with high purity were obtained with Percoll density c...

Macular detachment causes visual deterioration in 25-75% of patients with congenital optic disc pit. A number of treatment options have been reported to manage the macular detachment in optic pit. An optic disc pit represents a defect in the lamina cribrosa; theoretically, an ideal procedure to treat optic pit associated macular detachment would be one that prevents the flow of fluid across the...

A critical component in determining post-mining pit water quality is knowledge of groundwater fluxes, both as the pit fills and after steady state conditions have been reached. Simulations of the filling of an open pit in Crescent Valley, Nevada, were made to generate inputs for pit lake chemistry predictions. The simulations show that the water table recovery is most rapid immediately after pu...

In countries with negative winter temperatures, pits and walls of underground structures are subjected to additional forces caused by frost heaving forces. Russian construction practice, cases the impact such on struts anchors known, which led loss stability failure anchors. Obviously, design retaining in should take into account effect their evolution over time. The solution test problems for ...

Pit-1 is a pituitary-specific transcription factor responsible for activating growth hormone (GH) and prolactin genes. Here, we describe the isolation of a rainbow trout cDNA clone that contains the entire Pit-1 coding region. The deduced amino acid sequence contains 358 residues, encoding a 39-kDa protein. Comparison of the protein sequences of the rainbow trout and rat Pit-1 shows that the 16...
