Since pancreatobiliary diversion probably stimulates pancreatic growth by increasing cholecystokinin secretion, the effect of the cholecystokinin antagonist CR-1409 on this adaptive response was tested. Male Wistar rats (n = 108) weighing 220-250g were randomised to receive either pancreatobiliary diversion (n = 60) or sham diversion (n = 48) and thereafter to receive either saline injections o...

Diversion programs are initiatives in which persons with serious mental illness who are involved with the criminal justice system are redirected from traditional criminal justice pathways to the mental health and substance abuse treatment systems. This article is a review of the research literature conducted to determine whether the current evidence supports the use of diversion initiatives to ...

ion or diversion of surface water The increased consumptive use of water for agriculture, abstracted directly from rivers by pumps or diverted from a reservoir, has significantly reduced the volumes of annual flow, changed the seasonal distribution of flows through the year, and increased the length of low flow periods. For example, it has been estimated that the large scale diversions for irri...

Abstract Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix have expanded their range to encompass most of the Mississippi River basin, including much Missouri River. However, there is a paucity information concerning in especially tributaries. Little known about how function these tributaries or connectivity with main‐stem river can influence population demographics within either system. The Kansas tribu...

In this study, the spatial and temporal variability of water quality including monthly series of TDS, EC, So4, Cl, Ca and Na in common statistical period 1993-2014 was evaluated for the Karun River. This assessment is based on qualitative data stations including Susan in the upstream of Gotvand reservoir, Gotvand, Mollasani and Ahvaz in the downstream. To determine the parameters trend process,...

In order to explore the water level variations of Caizi Lake under river-lake isolation, monthly Chefuling station in from 1989 2018 and daily level, rainfall flow local hydrological stations were analyzed by using Mann-Kendall trend test wavelet analysis. Results showed that difference average between flood dry seasons was 3.34 m, with a multi-year 10.42 m above sea level. The first second mai...
