I just read with great interest the well-written paper by Buchholz and Schoeller that discusses thermodynamics and weight-loss diets (1). However, the authors ignored the fact that the energy utilization of different diets depends on the biochemical pathways taken (2). For example, a low-carbohydrate diet dramatically increases gluconeogenesis relative to a high-carbohydrate diet. Obviously, gl...

The correct management, with the classic techniques, of the thoracic deformity in Poland's syndrome is difficult, with often insatisfactory results. The current surgical treatment involves the use of prothetic material and/or different flaps with their own complications and scares. The experience of our team with fat grafting (we named lipomodeling) in breast reconstruction helped us to propose...

evaluation of the geochemistry and hydrochemical quality of bam salt dome located in southern iran, was conducted in this study. two composite samples from salt units were collected and analysed by xrd and xrf to determine their mineral and elemental compositions. water samples were also collected from the only spring in the area and analysed for major anions, cations and some toxic elements. t...

Salinization of groundwater in semiarid regions, as a limiting factor of use, has a strategic importance. In this study, the sources of salinity, chemistry and Quality of groundwater in Robat – Khorramabad plain have been identified using geochemical methods. Using data analysis, the concentration of cations and anions are recognized as Ca2+>Na+ >Mg2+>K+ and HCO3-> Cl-> SO42+> NO3-> F-. High co...

quality properties of groundwater is one of the major components which can used for water resources management. in this study, spatial variability of groundwater quality for drinking uses (schoeller standards) and agricultural uses (wilcox standards) was investigated during 1387-1392.in this research, we use information of 24 observation wells in fasa plain, to investigate the spatial variabili...

The most critical issue that was the main research interest is its groundwater quality which vital for public health concerns. Groundwater a significant worldwide water supply diverse communities, especially in dryland regions. assessment desert systems largely hindered by lack of hydrological data and remote location Oases. This study provides preliminary understanding influences climate, land...
