Kinmen National Park is the only battle memorial-themed natural resource conservation park in Taiwan. With the rapid growth in tourism, Kinmen National Park faces the challenge of managing with the resulting environmental impact. For this study, we adopted the tourism ecological footprint (TEF) and tourism ecological capacity (TEC) to evaluate the ecological conditions of Kinmen National Park f...

Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the effect of using different powers magnetic field technology (0, 1000, 1500, 2000 gausses) well water treatment on, egg quality (external and internal properties Biochemical composition) (Brown Lohman classic) layers. A total two hundred fifty-six (256) commercial Brown Classic strain 48 week’s age nearly similar body weight were randomly assig...

BACKGROUND Cholinergic regulation of chronotropic (frequency) and inotropic (force) aspects of antral contractility and how these impact on gastric emptying are not well delineated. AIMS To determine the effects of cholinergic stimulation and inhibition on myoelectric, contractile, and emptying parameters of gastric motility. METHODS Ten normal subjects underwent three studies each, using s...

Introduction The Emergency Room (IGD) is unique in operation compared to units or installations from all parts of the hospital, because operates around clock with presence patients an emergency and unscheduled state as well a high flow out. patient critical condition requiring immediate life-saving intervention until relatively stable condition. Severity Index (ESI) triage system that categoriz...

INTRODUCTION Previous literature has shown gender disparities in the care of acute ischemic stroke. Compared to men, women wait longer for brain imaging and are less likely to receive intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). Emergency department (ED) triage is an important step in the rapid assessment of stroke patients and is a possible contributor to disparities. It is unknown whe...

In order to assess the efficacy of epidural steroid injections (ESI) in acute and subacute pain due to lumbar spine disk herniation, we conducted a randomized trial, comparing 2 different protocols. Fourty patients with radicular pain due to L4-L5 and L5-S1 disc herniation were assigned to receive either 3 consecutive ESI every 24 hours through a spinal catheter (group A) or 3 consecutive ESI e...

Background—Cholinergic regulation of chronotropic (frequency) and inotropic (force) aspects of antral contractility and how these impact on gastric emptying are not well delineated. Aims—To determine the eVects of cholinergic stimulation and inhibition on myoelectric, contractile, and emptying parameters of gastric motility. Methods—Ten normal subjects underwent three studies each, using simult...

The magnitude of oviposition as well as the size, shape and the number of eggs per of egg rafts egg raft were determined after gravid Culex quinquefasciatus Say oviposited on water treated with water dispersible granules (WDG) of Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. israelensis (Bti) and on untreated water. The mean number of eggs/raft was lower in the treated than in the untreated water. Bti concentrat...

The geometrical properties of eggs – such as volume and surface area – have uses ranging from ecological, physiological and morphological studies in birds, to predictions of chick condition in the poultry industry. Although measurements of an egg's length and breadth can be used to approximate an egg's geometry, the coefficients used in these models are specific to the original test population,...
