Abstract This study analyzes the relationships between stress changes produced by water load variations due to filling operations at Pirrís Reservoir, Costa Rica, and generated three relevant earthquakes after first impoundment. The differ in their magnitude, distance from reservoir depth. Two of them correspond a shallow crustal faulting, third earthquake corresponds subduction thrust-fault. b...

purpose to evaluate the effect of ramadan fasting on body water status markers of rugby players at basal condition and following a simulation of rugby sevens match. methods twelve recreational rugby sevens players played three matches: one day before ramadan (before ramadan), at the end of the first week of ramadan (beg-r) and at the end of ramadan (end-r). before and immediately after each mat...

fourteen primiparous holstein cows (180.0 ± 4.3 days in milk) with a mean (±sd) daily milk yield of 35.0 ± 1.3 kg and a body condition score of 3.2 ± 0.2 were allotted into two groups (n = 7), and were fed a ration consisting of (dry matter basis) 35% corn silage, 25% alfalfa hay and 40% concentrates. salt was provided free choice. the experiment was performed during the period of heat stress, ...

The title compound, C(12)H(18)N(2)O(4)·H(2)O, was obtained as a product of the reaction of hydro-quinone with n-propanol amine. The compound crystallizes as a monohydrate, integrating water into its hydrogen-bonded network. Each diamino-quinone moiety forms two centrosymmetric 10-membered rings through C=O⋯H-N bonds. The resulting bands along [102] are inter-linked through hy-droxy groups and w...

water is a unique natural resource among all sources available on earth. it plays an important role in economic development and the general well-being of the country. this study aimed at using the application of water quality index in evaluating the ground water quality innorth-east area of jaipur in pre and post monsoon for public usage. total eleven physico–chemical characteristics; total dis...

Advances in Natural and Technological Hazards Research 33, DOI 10.1007/978-94-007-6184-1_3, © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2013 Abstract Cities face many risks. This book focuses mainly on natural hazards. This chapter explores what perceptions of, and responses to, natural hazards have in common with society’s way of coping with risk more generally. It proffers four framing device...

I . Body water content was estimated in sixteen pigs at each of three weights 27.55 and go kg with tritium, 4-aminoantipyrene (4-AA) and N-acetyl-4-aminoantipyrene (NAAP). The values obtained were compared with chemical analysis of the whole carcass. 2. The tritium method estimated total body water content accurately at 27 kg live weight but overestimated it by approximately 10% at both 55 and ...

• The determination of total body water by measurements of the distribution A'olume of antipyrine was originally proposed by Soberman, Brodie, et al. The applicability of the method has been extended by the use of the more easily determined aeetylaminoantipyrine. It has also been suggested' that the iodinated derivative of antipyrine labeled with I might be a satisfactory substitute for the par...
