An attempt was made to develop a method for sizing stable riprap around bridge piers based on a huge amount of experimental data, which is available in the literature. All available experimental data for circular as well as round-nose-and-tail rectangular piers were collected. The data for rectangular piers, with different aspect ratios, aligned with the flow or skewed at different angles to th...

This article contains new tools for studying the shape of stationary distribution sizes in a dynamic economic system which units experience random multiplicative shocks and are occasionally reset. Each unit has Markov‐switching type, influences their growth rate reset probability. We show that size Pareto upper tail, with exponent equal to unique positive solution an equation involving spectral...

Objective: The aim of this study was ultrasonographic findings and technique ofthe liver in the Lori breed sheep.Design: Descriptive study.Animals: 10 clinically healthy, female sheep.Procedures: Ultrasound examination of liver performed from the caudal aspect of13th rib to the 7th intercostals spaces (ICS). The possibility of liver imaging fromeach ICS, distance between the position of liver i...

The characteristics of the hemipenis Scincidae and Agamidae New Guinea are veryrarely studied, although they very easy to do. Morphological andhemipenis size between these two families different. Some have a cylindrical that is not lobed lobed, some even variety structures withdistinctive ornaments. Tail length can affect hemipenis. This study aims describe Guinea. species Lamprolepis smaragdin...

This article explains a method for creating CT protocols for a wide range of patient body sizes and clinical indications, using detailed tube current information from a small set of commonly used protocols. Analytical expressions were created relating CT technical acquisition parameters which can be used to create new CT protocols on a given scanner or customize protocols from one scanner to an...

Secondary infections as a result of tail biting cause substantial economic losses in pig production and are a subject of concern for animal welfare. The use of first-choice antibacterial agents in the treatment of tail biting in finishing pigs is hypothesized to be negatively correlated with the development of systemic infection. This would be expected to reduce the prevalence of post-mortem py...
