Recent research on rill flows recognised that an 18% slope can be used to distinguish between ‘gentle’ and ‘steep’ cases for the detected differences in hydraulic (flow depth velocity) sediment transport variables capacity, actual load). The effects of flow velocity, friction factor capacity their interactions affect process-based erosion modelling. main aim this paper is investigate, first tim...

hospital she had booked into. She was shaved, enema-ed, and wheeled into the labour ward, a huge room with beds of screaming women, separated by curtains and with students checking them. After the birth she was wheeled into a corridor for a day or two until a bed in a ward became available. She only had contact with her baby at feeding times, she was in bed for nine days, home on the tenth, ‘wi...

A circular polarization sensor is feasible to detect a sea-skimming cruise missile in a solar corridor. We report the simulated performance results of a shipboard medium-wave infrared (MWIR) circular polarization sensor to detect a sea-skimming missile above rough sea surface. The sensor observed total and circular target and sea clutter signals at night and during daytime in and out of the sol...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the learning curve of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy (LRH) for gynecologic oncologists who underwent residency- and fellowship-training on laparoscopic surgery without previous experience in performing abdominal radical hysterectomy (ARH). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 84 patients with FIGO (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics) stage IB cervica...

Confronted with the pressure of increased security threats and financial fraud, Customs administrations worldwide changed regulations and added restrictions to international trade in recent years. At the same time, governments also want to reduce the administrative burden for businesses in order to create an economically competitive zone. The EU is now implementing e-government ideas in new pro...
