Many detention basins built before 1990 are not equipped with stormwater quality control device. With the latest developments in low impact development (LID) for storm water management, these existing detention basins need modifications on their outlet structures to increase on-site runoff treatment and disposal. An outlet shall be designed to have, at least, three levels of release, including ...

we aimed to evaluate clinical, high resolution computed tomography (hrct) and pulmonary function test (pft) findings after 18-23 years of exposure in veterans of sulphur mustard (sm) exposure. we performed a cross-sectional study of 106 patients. inclusion criteria were 1: documented exposure to sm as confirmed by toxicological analysis of their urine and vesicular fluid after exposure 2: singl...

the influence of long-term mixed organic and inorganic contamination on soil microbial activity, community structure and genetic diversity was investigated in soil samples from a coke oven plant located in upper silesia, poland. the tested soils were heavily contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) and heavy metals. the microbial communities were characterized using the phospho...

introduction: langerhans cell histiocytosis (lch) is a rare disease characterized by clonal prolifera-tion of histiocytosis in different tissues. permanent consequences (pc) described among subjects with langerhans cell histiocytosis (lch).in this study we report the prevalence of permanent sequel among long – term survivors of lch in our center. methods: we had 30 cases of lch from 1989 – 2001...

Papers published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Discussions are under open-access review for the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences Abstract This paper presents an attempt of simulating daily fluctuations of river discharge at global scale. Total Runoff Integrating Pathways (TRIP) is a global river routing model which can help to isolate the river basins, inter-basin transport ...

A water budget model is proposed to estimate the infiltration, runoff, evapotranspiration and recharge in vadose zone and apply to a case study. The instantaneous redistribution of infiltrated water is assumed to be uniform and a linear relationship between evapotranspiration and effective saturation is imposed. Infiltration is described by Philip’s solution in conjunction with the time compres...

Abstract For increasing the forecasting accuracy of runoff, a combined prediction model composed variational mode decomposition (VMD) and long short-term memory network (LSTM) is investigated in our manuscript. Firstly, data from runoff decomposed into three modal components via VMD algorithm, for reducing complexity original data. In addition, error also been considered this paper, hidden info...

background: spermatogonial stem cells are subpopulation of spermatogonial cells in testis tissue that support beginning and maintenance of spermatogenesis. ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase l1 (uchl1) could be a specific marker for identification of spermatogonial stem cells including spermatogonial sperm cells (sscs) in testis tissue and during the culture; therefore we undertook this study...
