PURPOSE To compare ocular outcomes in healthy subjects undergoing 14- and/or 70-day head-down-tilt (HDT) bed rest (BR). METHODS Participants were selected by using NASA standard screening procedures. Standardized NASA BR conditions were implemented. Subjects maintained a 6° HDT position for 14 and/or 70 consecutive days. Weekly ophthalmologic examinations were performed in the sitting (pre/po...

Levels of bromine (Br) in groundwater that exceeded guideline concentrations of 0.01 mg/L prompted the investigation of the effect Br and iodine (I) in drinking water on the production parameters of broilers. The research was done over a 42-day growth period, post-hatch, in which the trial design was: Control: 0 mg Br/L and 0 mg I/L; 1 mg Br/L and 0 mg I/L; 3 mg Br/L and 0 mg I/L; 0 mg Br/L and...

<p>The installation of clean water is a very important building component to support<br />the activities residents in the building, because this provider of<br />water needs for occupants carry out bathing, washing, cooking activities,<br />and so on. In planning system, four criteria must be met,<br />namely: Sufficient quantity, Hygienic, Optimal technical, and E...

<p>A reliable transit service can motivate commuters to switch their traveling<br />mode from private public. Providing necessary information passengers<br />will reduce the uncertainties encountered during travel and improve<br />service reliability. This article addresses challenge of predicting dynamic<br />travel times in urban areas where real-time traffic flo...

The blink rate (BR) during rest, conversation, and reading was assessed in 50 patients with blepharospasm (BS) and in 150 healthy subjects. BR at rest and during conversation was higher in patients with BS. Moreover, 76% of patients had BR higher at rest than during conversation, whereas in 74% of controls, BR was higher during conversation than at rest. The sensitivity and specificity of two p...

In the title salt, 2C(7)H(10)N(+)·IBr(2) (-)·Br(-), each of the anions, viz. [IBr(2)](-) and Br(-), lie on a twofold axis. The IBr(2) (-) anion is almost linear, with a Br-I-Br angle of 178.25 (3)°. The cation is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0067 Å). In the crystal, each Br(-) anion links two cations via N-H⋯Br⋯H-N hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.

It is common for business people to operate with natural language statements. BR (BR) in this sense can be presented using the variation of structural language – BR templates. However, BR templates are not formal enough to be automatically processed. Furthermore, BR templates have to be in consistence with enterprise model, especially with its static structures – business objects. Object role m...
