objectives: deterioration in postural control mechanisms is termed postural instability and results increased postural sway and many laboratory techniques and instruments are characterized by a wide range of neurological signs and symptoms to the medical management. thus the current study designed to assess the reliability of commonly used clinical measures of balance and determined normal valu...

The limited number of surface mass balance (SMB) observations in the Antarctic inland hampers estimates ice-sheet contribution to global sea level and locations with million-year-old ice. We present finely resolved SMB over past three centuries a low-accumulation region significant depth hoar formation on Dome Fuji derived from ∼1,100 km microwave radar stratigraphy dated firn core. regional-me...

The redefinition of the SI unit of mass in terms of a fixed value of the Planck constant has been made possible by the Kibble balance, previously known as the watt balance. Once the new definition has been adopted, the Kibble balance technique will permit the realisation of the mass unit over a range from milligrams to kilograms. We describe the theory underlying the Kibble balance and practica...

Abstract Despite their importance for regional water resource planning and as indicators of climate change, records in situ glacier mass balance remain short spatially sparse the Himalaya. Here, we present an updated series mass-balance measurements from Rikha Samba Glacier, Nepal, between 2011 2021. The is −0.39 ± 0.32 m w.e. this period. We use energy-mass model to extend annual back 1974. fo...

A generalized continuum framework for the theory of solute transport in fluids is proposed and systematically developed. This framework rests on the introduction of a generic force balance for the solute, a balance distinct from the macroscopic momentum balance associated with the mixture. Special forms of such a force balance have been proposed and used going back at least as far as Nernst’s 1...

BACKGROUND Regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) during hemodialysis interferes with calcium homeostasis. Optimal ionized calcium (iCa) target range during RCA and consequent calcium balance are unknown. METHODS In a randomized controlled trial (ACTRN12613001029785) 30 chronic hemodialysis patients were assigned to normal (1.1-1.2 mmol/) or low (0.95-1.05 mmol/l) iCa target range during a si...
