A serious concern for managers of water resources, pathogens in the urban environment easily enter waters through a number of pathways, including discharge of inadequately treated sewage, stormwater runoff, combined sewer overflows and sanitary sewer overflows. Pathogens in US ambient water bodies are regulated under the Clean Water Act (CWA), while pathogens in drinking water supplies are regu...

A complex regulatory system is responsible for the stability of plasma osmolality despite large variations in water consumption or water loss. This osmoregulatory system is controlled by the hypothalamic neurohypophyseal axis, which includes the organs responsible for sensing variations in plasma osmolality or volume, as well as for the synthesis, storage, and secretion of arginine vasopressin ...

The autonomic nervous system maintains internal homeostasis by regulating cardiovascular, thermoregulatory, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, exocrine, and pupillary function. Testing and quantifying autonomic nervous system function is an important but difficult area of clinical neurophysiology. Tests of parasympathetic cardiovagal regulation include heart rate analysis during standing (the 30:...

abstract: deficit irrigation technique can be used for produce more yield for every unit of irrigation water, and cause to increase crop economical benefit. main purpose of deficit irrigation is high water use efficiency with decreasing in irrigation sufficiency. in this research potential of cropwat model in deficit irrigation management for two crops, wheat and barley in karaj climate was stu...

with advances in genetic science, the dynamic structure of eukaryotic genome is considered as basis of gene expression regulation. long-distance communication between regulatory elements and target promoters is critical and the mechanisms responsible for this connection are just starting to emerge. chromatin insulators are key determinants of proper gene regulation and precise organization of c...

in this study a machine learning algorithm was applied in order to develop a predictive model for the changes in phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll a) in the lower nakdong river, south korea. we used a “hybrid evolutionary algorithm (hea)” which generated model consists of three functions ‘if-thenelse’ on the basis of a 15-year, weekly monitored ecological database. we used the average ...

estimation of reservoir water saturation (sw) is one of the main tasks in well logging. many empirical equations are available, which are, more or less, based on archie equation. the present study is an application of radial basis function neural network (rbfnn) modeling for estimation of water saturation responses in a carbonate reservoir. four conventional petrophysical logs (pls) including d...
