An interactive process model of the nature of representation intrinsically accounts for multiple emergent properties of consciousness, such as being a contentful experiential flow, from a situated and embodied point of view. A crucial characteristic of this model is that content is an internally related property of interactive process, rather than an externally related property as in all other ...

abstract spacing between check dams depends on the stream bed slope, effective height of check dams and slope of deposited sediments behind the check dams. the slope of deposited sediments is more important than the other two factors because of complications in the way of its occurrence and its measurement after several years of dam construction. this research presents the effective factors aff...

Soil detachment is known as an important process in soil erosion and its quantification is necessary to establish a basic understanding of erosion. This study was carried out to find the best flow erosivity indicator(s) for predicting detachment rate at low slopes. For this purpose, 12 experiments including 6 flow discharges (75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 ml/s) and 2 slope gradients (1.5 and 2...

abstract land surface hydrological models has importance in the determination of soil moisture and temperature, the rate of evapotranspiration, stream flow by emphasis on the land surface physical and dynamic process descriptions. in this research, vic land surface hydrological model has been used for the land surface temperature and stream flow determination. the vic runoff simulation in each ...

in this research, the frequency of the jet streams associated with extreme and pervasive precipitation has been analyzed using environmental to circulation approach. based on the 99th percentile index, 109 days of the extreme and pervasive precipitation was selected from the irimo data base ( including 33 synoptic, climatic and rain gage stations during 15992 days from farvardin, 1st, 1340 to d...

background: most drug overdoses are due to suicidal attempts. this study was designed to analyze the risks and risk factors of poisoned patients with repeated suicidal attempt in iran. methods: this case-control study was conducted at loghman hakim hospital, tehran, iran, during april to may 2008. eighty-seven patients who were admitted due to drug overdose with loss of consciousness were enrol...

when a child presented with decreased level of consciousness in the emergency room, taking the right approach is one of the most important skills that every emergency physician should have. ideally, there should be a defined diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm in the emergency room for managing these children in order to minimize difficulties diagnostically and maximize time spent helping the ...

In this paper a new process is presented for improving efficiency of cyclone de-dusting systems. The cyclone is coupled with a specially designed cylindrical chamber which includes a rotating tube inside it with air impinging nuzzles, drilled on the peripheral surface of the tube. The nuzzles help in pushing and throwing the particles to the outer radius distances during downward flow of du...
