Abstract The decrease in channel capacity can cause sedimentation at the bottom of and condition lining is damaged so that seepage / leaks occur buildings sluice gates do not function properly. This study aims to analyze concentration sediment on flow velocity. Measurements were carried out field observe conditions detail related velocity concentration. research was Rappang Main Channel from Up...

Is Covid-19 undermining European democracies? Recent scholarship overlooks the fact that most pandemic-related erosions of democracy can be attributed to illiberal inertia long in place before 2019. Did democratic decay occur during pandemic or due pandemic? We analyse extent which power grabs succeeded and failed Europe with special attention Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia. The exec...

Protein G-related alpha(2)-macroglobulin-binding (GRAB) protein is a cell wall-attached determinant of group A streptococcus (GAS) that interacts with the human protease inhibitor alpha(2)-macroglobulin (alpha(2)-M). Of 86 clinical isolates tested, 23% could bind alpha(2)-M. However, all strains tested contained the grab gene. High levels of anti-GRAB antibodies were found in the serum of conva...

Analysis of deformational histories along polyphase reactivated faults commonly is based on the dating of cross-cutting relationships using relative ages of offset strata or geochronological ages of syntectonically grown minerals within fault planes. However, ten Veen and Postma (1999) and ten Veen and Kleinspehn (2000) introduced a new approach to reconstructing the vertical component of synse...

Objectives of this project were to demonstrate improved data quality for metal constituents in surface soils on military training ranges and to develop a methodology that would result in the same or lower cost. The demonstration was conducted at two inactive small-arms ranges at Fort Eustis, VA, and Kimama Training Site (TS), ID, and at one active smallarms range at Fort Wainwright, AK. The sam...

We describe here the first working prototype of a novel display for viewing 3D medical images. The position and orientation of a freely movable touch-screen display are optically tracked and used to continuously determine which slice to display within a 3D data set. The slice is registered “in situ” relative to a fixed coordinate system, through which the display is moved. We have coined the te...
