OBJECTIVE To assess the association between physical fitness and its recovery over time on the one hand, and complications and duration of phases of rehabilitation on the other. DESIGN AND SETTING Prospective cohort study at eight rehabilitation centres. SUBJECTS People with a spinal cord injury were assessed four times: at the start of active rehabilitation (n = 110), three months later (n...

in this paper, we propose to optimize manufacturing methods of memory cells by produced silicon nanoparticles via electrical spark discharge of silicon electrodes in water to reduce the energy consumption for low power applications. the pulsed spark discharge with the peak current of 60 a and a duration of a single discharge pulse of 60 µs was used in our experiment. the structure, morphology, ...

Two representative watersheds, Ammameh and Kasilian, located in Southern and Norten Elborz mountain in Iran respectively were considered. Fourteen events of rainfall-runoff in nonmelting seaons were chosen and their storms and flood hydrographs were gathered from an automatic recording station. Base flow separation was made by recession limb analysis while Philip equation was used for the calcu...

If normal, eupneic breathing fails, gasping is recruited. Serotonin was proposed as essential for gasping, based on findings using an in vitro mouse preparation. This preparation generates rhythmic activities of the hypoglossal nerve that are considered to be akin to both eupnea and gasping. In previous studies, gasping of in situ rat and mouse preparations continued unabated following blockers...

The goal of this study is to develop an objective methodology for estimating design floods, i.e. the flood peak discharge with return period T , at ungauged river catchments in Iceland. First, a regional flood frequency analysis is presented for estimating the T -year flood peak discharge with fixed duration D, Q(T,D), for poorly gauged and ungauged catchments. This is done by scaling a regiona...

check dams, are small dams in the watershed. these dams are constructed in susceptible areas to erosion due to reduce of flow velocity and erosion, control of sediment and flood in upstream of reservoir dams. these structures are made using wood, stone and cement, and gabion. these structures change the hydrological response of the watershed by reducing flow velocity, the channel slope and stor...
