the relationship between topography, land use, and topsoil moisture storage is investigated for a small catchment with undulating deep loess hilslopes in the south of the netherlands. for a period of 10 months, soil moisture profiles have been measured weekly at 15 locations throughout the catchment. a generalized additive model was employed to find relationships between the various factors inf...

case presentation here, we report the case of a 35-year-old man complaining of bilateral incomplete eye closure, two weeks after a closed head injury caused by a motor vehicle accident. introduction although bilateral facial nerve palsy is a rare condition, its etiology is more detectable than the unilateral type. a temporal bone fracture is one cause of bilateral facial nerve palsy, contributi...

a considerable part of precipitation falls in the form of snow in golestan watershed. in turn, snowmelt plays a significant role in surface runoff, groundwater feeding and flood propagation in this area. snow cover area (sca) as an indicator of stored water can be implemented for temporal and spatial monitoring of snowmelt in the hydrological models. to monitor spatial and temporal variation of...

Introduction: Acceptance test is a necessary procedure after SPECT system installation. The goal of this test is to reveal system's present condition, to compare it with manufacturer's specifications and also as a base for later tests. Methods: This study investigated four SPECT systems in Tehran. All of the quality control tests are performed on the basis of NEMA and IAEA recommendations...

When processing literary narratives, standard temporal annotation specifications – typically developed for processing newsstyle documents – do not match the expectations of literary scholars. Thus, a different definition of temporal signals is required. In this paper, we define this concept from the narratological perspective and present our hybrid approach developed in the context of the heure...

this paper intends to compare the abilities of the two major imaging modalities in nuclear medicine imaging: positron emission tomography (pet) and single photon emission computed tomography (spect). the motivations are many-fold: (i) to gain a better understanding of the strengths and limitations of the two imaging modalities in the context of recent and ongoing developments in hardware and so...
