Abstract Construction of dams has a significant impact on hydrological conditions rivers. Eco-hydrology, as sub-discipline hydrology, focusses ecological processes occurring within the cycle and strives to utilize them for enhancing environmental sustainability. The aim this study was determine stable instable eco-hydrologic regions in area. First, factors affecting stability were selected acco...

The additivity property of the ``measure'', one of the most important concepts in mathematics, is often inflexible or too rigid to represent the many facets of human reasoning. In order to be able to express human subjectivity, recent researches proposed to replace this property by a weaker one, the ``monotonicity'' and called these non-additive monotonic measures ``fuzzy measures''. “Fuzzy int...

Agro-management zones recently became the backbone of modern agriculture. Delineating management for Variable-Rate Fertilization (VRF) can provide important ecological benefits and better sustainability new Egyptian farming projects. This article aims to represent an approach delineating using Spatial Multicriteria Evaluation (SMCE) within irrigated peanut pivot situated at eastern Nile Delta, ...

This article deals with the application of spatial multiple criteria evaluation concepts and methods to support the decision-making process for site selection for waste disposal. The process makes use of a recently developed Spatial Multiple Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) module, integrated into ITC’s existing geographic information system called “ILWIS”. This module supports several compensatory a...

BACKGROUND Practice guidelines recommend various types of exercise for chronic back pain but there have been few head-to-head comparisons of these interventions. General exercise seems to be an effective option for management of chronic low back pain (LBP) but very little is known about the management of a sub-acute LBP within sub-groups. Recent research has developed clinical tests to identify...

BACKGROUND Cercarial elastase is the major invasive larval protease in Schistosoma mansoni, a parasitic blood fluke, and is essential for host skin invasion. Genome sequence analysis reveals a greatly expanded family of cercarial elastase gene isoforms in Schistosoma mansoni. This expansion appears to be unique to S. mansoni, and it is unknown whether gene duplication has led to divergent prote...
