Throughout the world, efforts are under way to restore watersheds, but restoration planning rarely accounts for future climate change. Using a series of linked models of climate, land cover, hydrology, and salmon population dynamics, we investigated the impacts of climate change on the effectiveness of proposed habitat restoration efforts designed to recover depleted Chinook salmon populations ...

Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) was proposed to overcome the bandwidth bottleneck at the Access Network due to its simplicity, cost effectiveness and wide spread deployment. A failure in access networks can cause serious problem, because access network transmit aggregated high-speed traffic from hundreds of subscribers. Protection and restoration mechanisms have been applied in backbone...

Most of the customer outages are the results of some problems related to distribution systems. Prolonged outages may cause cold load pickup problems because of the increased penetration of thermostaticallycontrolled devices and the loss of diversity among these devices. Since loads higher than normal may be expected after prolonged outages, restoration problems may occur when there is not enoug...

In the 1st phase of this study, thirty patients were investigated. Five milliliter stimulated saliva was collected just before and after MRI. The magnetic flux density was 0.23 T and the duration of exposure of patients to magnetic field was 30 minutes. In the 2nd phase, fourteen female healthy University students who had not used mobile phones before the study and did not have any previous ama...

The requirements for dental material include not toxic, not irritant, no carcinogenic potential, nor cause an allergic response with the use in oral cavity. The cyanoacrylate restoration material has certain substance that can be toxic. Because of the ratio amount of powder and liquid is not known, it can lead the restoration more toxic. The purpose of this study was to know the cytotoxicity of...

-This paper provides a comprehensive survey on the state-of-the-art condition monitoring and fault diagnostic technologies for wind turbines. The Part I of this survey briefly reviews the existing literature surveys on the subject, discusses the common failure modes in the major wind turbine components and subsystems, briefly reviews the condition monitoring and fault diagnostic techniques for ...

Intestinal epithelial barrier defects, or increased paracellular permeability, were first reported in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) over 25 years ago. Although increased permeability may herald relapse to active disease, suggesting that impaired barrier function may contribute to progression, limited understanding of the mechanisms that create barrier defects in CD has made it impossible t...

I is common for a retailer to sell products from competing manufacturers. How then should the firms manage their contract negotiations? The supply chain coordination literature focuses either on a single manufacturer selling to a single retailer or one manufacturer selling to many (possibly competing) retailers. We find that some key conclusions from those market structures do not apply in our ...
