Bleomycins are tumor seeking antibiotics that are widely used in cancer chemotherapy (Fig. 1). It is believed that bleomycin antibiotics interfere with DNA as false nucleotides, assuming the dithiazole moiety acts like a purine base [20]. It has been shown that labeling of bleomycin with bi/trivalent radioisotopes can produce pharmacologically active compounds carrying a diagnostic and/or thera...

Knowing the rate of evapotranspiration (ET) from surface water resources such as lakes and reservoirs is essential for the precise management of water balance. Ardestan city with hot and dry climate is in Isfahan province (center of Iran), so in this region, water is very important. In this study, monthly ET was determined by several methods and equations for Ardestan city from 1993-2006. Month...

Detention rockfill dams are an easy and common tool for flood control. Due to their coarse pores, the flow in void spaces is turbulent and non-Darcy. Different relationships introduced by researchers are used to define the hydraulics of the flow within the rockfill materials. The present research is aimed at gaining a better understanding of the difference among these relationships and the sour...

Seeking to contribute with the management of water resources in Itaipu Binacional reservoir region, this research aimed characterize dynamics evapotranspiration and evaluate performance different mathematical methods, which determine reference (ETo) from air temperature values. Fifteen municipalities were analyzed. After obtaining data series, ETo was estimated using six methods: Camargo (C), H...

Abstract The Penman-Monteith equation is recommended for the estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo). However, it requires meteorological data that are commonly unavailable. Thus, this study evaluates artificial neural network (ANN), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), and original calibrated Hargreaves-Samani (HS) temperature (PMT) equations daily ETo using temperature. T...
