This paper assesses the relationship between amount of climate forcing – as indexed by global mean temperature change – and hydrological response in a sample of UK catchments. It constructs climate scenarios representing different changes in global mean temperature from an ensemble of 21 climate models assessed in the IPCC AR4. The results show a considerable range in impact between the 21 clim...

BACKGROUND Novel therapies aimed at modulating the autonomic nervous system, including thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA), have been shown in small case series to be beneficial in treating medically refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) storm. However, it is not clear when these options should be considered. We reviewed a multicenter experience with TEA in the management of VT storm to determ...

climate change is one of the most important factors that will affect different parts of human life on earth and will be adverse effects on environmental resources, economic, social and especially water resources, with changes in rainfall and timing of runoff amount.one of the strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change is to assess its effects on precipitation, temperature and runoff i...

In the United States, ovarian cancer is the fourth most frequent cause of cancer death among women, following lung, breast, and colorectal cancers. Each year, approximately 26,000 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer and 14,000 die of it. Germline mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2, or other genes have been implicated in a small fraction of cases. However, it has been suggested that, for the great ma...

Proarrhythmia defined as the exacerbation of existing arrhythmias or the genesis of new arrhythmias de novo may result from any antiarrhythmic agent. The two general clinical syndromes of sustained arrhythmias that result appear to have distinct clinical properties that are consistent with the proposed basic mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis. Torsades de points occurs most commonly in association ...

Does climate change adaptation require that investments are designed to be more robust? What about when is uncertain? if the changes faster? This decision problem difficult design of irreversible for their lifetime, instance, in construction industry. We study an investment starts, combined with option abandon. The determines investment’s robustness sustain detrimental conditions. find short-li...
