Use of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) to mitigate urban runoff impacts has grown substantially in recent decades, but municipalities often lack an integrated approach prioritize areas for implementation, demonstrate compelling evidence catchment-scale improvements, and communicate program effectiveness. We present a method quantifying reduction benefits associated with distributed GSI th...

background: gonadotropin releasing hormone conjugate (gnrh-bsa) raises antibodies against biologically active gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) which affects body weight, gonadosomatic indices (gsi) and sperm quality in male mice. objective: the objective of this experimental investigation is to develop an effective and reliable hormonal immunocontraceptive vaccine to suppress spermatogenes...

BACKGROUND Sulfur mustard (SM) has been used as a chemical warfare agent since the early twentieth century. Despite the large number of studies that have investigated SM induced ocular injuries, few of those studies have also focused on the psychological health status of victims. This study has evaluated the most prominent influences on the psychological health status of patients with severe SM...

A short overview on the results of atomic physics research at the storage ring ESR is given followed by a presentation of the envisioned atomic physics program at the planned new GSI facility. The proposed new GSI facility will provide highest intensities of relativistic beams of both stable and unstable heavy nuclei – up to a Lorentz factor of 24. At those relativistic velocities, the energies...

The levels of testosterone (T) and 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) of the South American pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus were determined by radioimmunoassay during two stages of the reproductive cycle, i.e., resting and maturation, and the gonadosomatic index (GSI) was calculated. The highest levels of T and 11-KT were reached during the maturation stage (T = 2400 +/- 56 pg/ml; 11-KT = 2300 +/- 60 pg/...

In the past decade, there has been an increasing trend of digitalizing rock engineering processes. However, this process not accompanied by a critical analysis very same empirical methods that many complex numerical and digital are founded upon. As engineers, we taught to use trust numbers. Indeed, would be able define factor safety structure without what happens when those numbers nothing but ...
