the deformation modulus of a rock mass is an important input parameter in any analysis of rock mass behavior for geotechnical projects such as dams. the determination of this parameter by in situ tests are time consuming and expensive. therefore, different researchers have proposed empirical relationships for estimating the value of rock mass deformation modulus. this work has been done by usin...

This study was carried out with the aim of examining the seasonal reproductive cycle of the female crayfish Astacus leptodactylus from Aras Dam Lake, Western-Azerbaijan, Iran. Gonadosomatic index (GSI), and oocyte size were measured in females sampled seasonally in June, August, November(2011), January(2012). Development of the oocytes was categorized according to the diameter and the presenc...

PURPOSE To prospectively investigate the effect of using Gemstone Spectral Imaging (GSI) and adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR) for reducing radiation and iodine contrast dose in abdominal CT patients with high BMI values. MATERIALS AND METHODS 26 patients (weight > 65kg and BMI ≥ 22) underwent abdominal CT using GSI mode with 300mgI/kg contrast material as study group (grou...

This study evaluates the dam water-supply capacity in Korea using water shortage index. The water-shortage index (SI) and generalized (GSI) used this are evaluated modified slightly by considering both damage cost due to failure construction of systems Korea. indices then applied for performance evaluation 16 multipurpose dams Korea, whose results different units: each dam, river basin, all dam...

This paper presents an optimal kinematic design of a 3PRC (prismatic-revolute-cylindrical) spatial translational parallel manipulator with inclined actuator arrangement by formulating a multi-objective optimization problem. Three performance criteria’s namely Global Conditioning Index (GCI), Global stiffness Index (GSI) and Workspace volume are considered as the objective functions. A multi-obj...

Background. Psychodynamic group psychotherapy may not be an optimal treatment for anxiety and agoraphobic symptoms. We explore remission of SCL-90-R Global Severity Index (GSI) and target symptoms in 39 sessions of psychodynamic group therapy. Methods. SCL-90-R "target symptom" profile and GSI remission according to Danish norms were identified in 239 patients and evaluated according to reliabl...

This study compares the gonadosomatic index (GSI), oocyte growth (OG), gonadal histology, and plasma level concentrations of sex hormones (estradiol-17β (E2) and vitellogenin (V)) of twice-spawning (T-SP) and once-spawning (O-SP) females of rainbow trout throughout the additional and the normal reproductive cycle, respectively. In T-SP, the GSI values rapidly increase from May to November, in c...
