In order to identify the determinants of market (donor) orientation in blood transfusion centers and services (BTCS), this study seeks analyze whether connectedness interpersonal trust represent a fundamental basis for interfunctional coordination that leads orientation. An empirical was carried out with 147 participants from 14 Spanish BTCS. The measurement scales were validated through CFA pr...

Small streams in urbanized rural areas receive loads of P from various, often episodic, sources. This paper addresses, through a tracer test with 32P, retention and transport pulse input phosphorus 2.6 km long stretch channelized second-order lowland stream. Tritiated water was introduced alongside the 32P-labelled ortophosphate order to isolate influence hydrodynamic factors on behavior. Trace...

Tracer and indicator microbe runoff experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of solution chemistry on the transport, retention, and release of Escherichia coli D21g. Experiments were conducted in a chamber (2.25 m long, 0.15 m wide, and 0.16 m high) packed with ultrapure quartz sand (to a depth of 0.10 m) that was placed on a metal frame at slopes of 5.6%, 8.6%, or 11.8%. Runoff ...

Abstract Fractured rocks in the subsurface are ubiquitous, and dynamics of mass transfer fractured plays an important role understanding problem engineering geology environmental geology. In this study, influence shear displacement on fluid flow solute transport a 3D rough fracture was investigated. A self-affine generated using modified successive random addition (SRA) technology, three sheare...

The present paper focuses on solute transport behaviour in a Model Heterogeneous Porous Medium (MHPM) under different flow rates. We report tracer experiments stationary hydraulic conditions, with 7 rates spanning two orders of magnitude. Several replicates are carried out several MHPMs, allowing for sound statistical assessment experimental imprecision. BreakThrough Curves (BTCs) exhibit dual ...

This study aims to explore the mechanisms governing the transport and retention kinetics of TiO(2) nanoparticle aggregates (NPAs) in flow-through columns of packed sand, particularly under unsaturated conditions. The study was carried out at different pHs (2.6, 7.1, and 9.6) and ionic strengths (ISs) (1.0, 10, and 50 mM). A two-site kinetic attachment model was used to describe transport behavi...

Phenotypically uniform cell populations may contain subpopulations with different activities of enzymes, membrane transporters, and other functional units which can be characterized kinetically. Here we propose the first approach to the discovery of such subpopulations; we term it single-cell approach to discover subpopulations or SCADS for short. SCADS combines microscopy, single-cell kinetic ...

Motion retiming is an important tool used to edit character animations. It consists of changing the time at which an action occurs during an animation. One example might be editing an animation of a person playing football to change the precise time at which the ball is kicked. It is, nevertheless, a non-trivial task to retime the motion of a set of joints, since spatio-temporal correlation exi...

There is a limited understanding of solute transport properties of degraded peat soils as compared to mineral substrates. A lower organic matter (OM) content is often the result of peat degradation and mineralization following artificial drainage. In this study, we aimed at deducing changes in solute transport properties of peat soils differing in OM content. Miscible displacement experiments w...

Introduction Down syndrome (DS) is a genetically determined form of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and specific epilepsy strongly associated with AD in DS (DSAD), late onset myoclonic (LOMEDs), but, there are no clinical trials evaluating the efficacy tolerability antiseizure medications this Aims To describe our experience treatment LOMEDs. Material Methods We recruited patients symptomatic (prodrom...
