Reservoir sedimentation is a critical issue worldwide, resulting in reduced storage volumes and, thus, reservoir efficiency. Moreover, can also increase the flood risk at related facilities. In some cases, drawdown flushing of an appropriate management tool. However, there are various options as to how and when perform such flushing, which should be optimized order maximize its efficiency effec...

BACKGROUND Serum & Glucocorticoid Regulated Kinase 1 (SGK1) plays a fundamental role in ion and solute transport processes in epithelia. In the endometrium, down-regulation of SGK1 during the window of receptivity facilitates embryo implantation whereas expression of a constitutively active mutant in the murine uterus blocks implantation. METHODS/RESULTS Here, we report that treatment of ...

Twenty-four pregnant Landrace and Yorkshire gilts were utilized to examine the relationship between myometrial activity and intrauterine embryo migration. On d 2 (1st day of estrus = d 0), embryos were flushed from one oviduct and transferred to the opposite oviduct. Uterine horns were ligated at the uterotubal junction on the flushed side and 40 and 50 cm posterior to the uterotubal junction o...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Photosynthetic thermotolerance (PT) is important for plant survival in tropical and sub-tropical savannas. However, little is known about thermotolerance of tropical and sub-tropical wild plants and its association with leaf phenology and persistence. Longer-lived leaves of savanna plants may experience a higher risk of heat stress. Foliar Ca is related to cell integrity of ...

objective: : polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is one of the most common hormonal disorders that can lead to irregular menstrual cycles and hyperandrogenism. reduced levels of progesterone and increased estrogen in these women can perpetually stimulate the endometrial tissue of the uterus. in this study, the effect of pcos induction was studied using estradiol valerate. materials and methods: ad...

The uterus is formed during embryogenesis by the fusion of the two paramesonephric ducts (also called mullerian ducts). This process usually fuses the two mullerian ducts into a single uterine body. Incomplete fusion of the mullerian ducts results in uterine malformation like uterus didelphus, uterus bicornis bicollis, uterus bicornis unicollis, uterus subseptate, uterus arcuate, and uterus uni...
