An autonomous surface vehicle instrumented with optical and acoustical sensors was deployed in Kane’ohe Bay, HI, U.S.A., to provide high-resolution, in situ observations of coral reef reflectancewithminimal human presence. The data represented awide range in bottom type, water depth, and illumination and supported more thorough investigations of remote sensing methods for identifying and mappin...

6.01 Surface and shallow undersion, as functions of the distance from ground bursts are defined as those in ground (surface) zero \(§ 2.34 footnote), which either the fireball or the hot, can then be obtained from the curves high-pressure gases generated by the given at the end of Chapter III. The cube explosion intersect or break through the root scaling law described there can be earth's surf...

UNLABELLED Complete dentures often fracture during normal masticatory function. The reason could be due to the shape of the palate, i.e. deep, medium or shallow palatal vault. This in vitro study was performed to determine the relationship of palatal vault depth and flexural strength of two different permanent denture base resins. Edentulous maxillary casts of patients were collected from the d...

We analyze the seismic moment-frequency relation in various depth ranges and for different seismic regions, using Flinn-Engdahl’s regionalization of global seismicity. Three earthquake lists of centroid-moment tensor data have been used: the Harvard catalog, the USGS catalog, and the HUANG et al. (1997) catalog of deep earthquakes. The results confirm the universality of the b-values and the ma...

BACKGROUND During the past three decades in Bangladesh, millions of tubewells have been installed to reduce the prevalence of diarrheal disease. This study evaluates the impacts of tubewell access and tubewell depth on childhood diarrhea in rural Bangladesh. METHODS A total of 59,796 cases of diarrhea in children under 5 were recorded in 142 villages of Matlab, Bangladesh during monthly commu...

In enclosure experiments in the littoral zone of Lake Constance, Germany, juvenile cyprinids showed significantly reduced somatic growth in the shallow eulittoral zone (0 5 m depth) compared to the sublittoral zone (1 6 m depth). Growth was especially reduced in larger and more deep-bodied fish groups, providing evidence that this is due to increased hydrodynamic stress, induced by ship and win...

This study investigates the hypothesis that shallow edge lifting force in high-level rock climbers is more strongly related to fingertip soft tissue anatomy than to absolute strength or strength to body mass ratio. Fifteen experienced climbers performed repeated maximal single hand lifting exercises on rectangular sandstone edges of depth 2.8, 4.3, 5.8, 7.3, and 12.5 mm while standing on a forc...

The world's coral reefs appear to be in a global decline, yet most previous research on coral reefs has taken place at depths shallower than 30 m. Mesophotic coral ecosystem (depths deeper than ~30 m) studies have revealed extensive, productive habitats and rich communities. Despite recent advances, mesophotic coral ecosystems remain understudied due to challenges with sampling at deeper depths...

Shallowness of the anterior chamber received special attention after the demonstration by von Graefe (1857) that iridectomy could cure acute glaucoma. Bowman (I862) referred to the care required in performing iridectomies on eyes with shallow anterior chambers. Over many years, and by careful dissections of cadaver and enucleated eyes, Priestley Smith (I89I) concluded that the shallow anterior ...

abstract background: clearing the endotracheal tube through suctioning should be done to promote oxygenation. depth of suctioning is one of the variables in this regard. in shallow suctioning method, the catheter passes to the tip of the endotracheal tube, and in deep suctioning method, it passes beyond the tip into the trachea or brunches. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of shallow and...
