Rainfall-runoff transformation on urban catchments involves physical processes governing runoff production in areas (e.g., interception, evaporation, depression, infiltration). Some previous 1D/2D coupled models do not include these processes. Adequate representation of rainfall–runoff–infiltration within a dual drainage model is still needed for practical applications. In this paper we propose...

Multiple myeloma can occasionally present with jaundice. The underlying process may be pancreatic head myeloma infiltration causing obstructive jaundice or hepatic amyloid deposition resulting in cholestatic jaundice. A rare case of myeloma presenting as jaundice due to hepatic myeloma infiltration is reported.

Use of the double ring infiltrometer to measure soil water infiltration in center pivot irrigation systems isn’t an accurate approach because the real conditions of infiltration under center pivot sprinklers is different from what happens in the double ring. In this study the infiltration parameters were evaluated in real conditions of a center pivot system. For this purpose a single ring...

Over the past decade, our concept of the pathogenesis of calcific aortic valve disease has undergone a major transformation. We now recognise that calcific valve disease is the end stage of an active disease process and is not caused by “wear and tear” of the valve tissue. Immunohistochemical studies of trileaflet aortic valves with varying degrees of valve stenosis have demonstrated the presen...
