correct estimates of the risk of erosion at improve land management advice plays an important role. in this study, erosion risk zoning in the kan basin with area about 20571 ha in the northwest of tehran by using the experimental model mpsiac and geographic information system (gis) were investigated and by using the base maps and gis, layers of information were prepared. after collecting, prepa...

Background: Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) tests are often done to detect or monitor patients with suspected inflammatory disorders. The objective of the study was to ascertain if the manual ESR test added value to the information available from automated CRP results alone. Methods: In this retrospective, observational study at a safety-net hospital, the ESR a...

Phytoplankton population dynamics are controlled by the relative rather than absolute timescales of mixing, growth, and loss processes such as sedimentation, grazing, and so on. Here, the vertical distribution and biomass of phytoplankton populations are quantified by two timescale ratios: the Peclet number Pe—the ratio of mixing and sedimentation timescales—and the growth number G—the ratio of...

BACKGROUND Erythrocyte sedimentation rate is widely used in the general population. It has seldom been studied in patients with chronic renal failure. The purpose of this study was to assess its usefulness in haemodialysis patients. METHODS Forty-five haemodialysis patients with no evidence of acute or chronic inflammatory illness were studied. Nine were diabetic, and 12 used a non-biocompati...

febrile convulsion (fc) is the most common seizure disorder in childhood. white blood cell (wbc) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (esr) are commonly measured in fc. trauma, vomiting and bleeding can also lead to wbc and esr so the blood tests must carefully be interpreted by the clinician. in this cross sectional study 410 children(163 with fc), aged 6 months to 5 years, admitted to bahrami c...
