The superficial strata of ground have been perennially exposed to the action of natural agents such as heat, cold and water. However, grazing agent was not different from them when soils were investigated from temperate rangelands of Kashmir and caused the soil compaction, soil structure degradation and loss of soil organic C and C/N ratio. Soils from three grazing intensities were investigated...

Introduction A thorough investigation of all equipment in a sugar factory covered by this title would result in a monumental publication. This relatively modest paper purports to draw attention to a few specific aspects of economy in juice heating. Considering the abundance of comprehensive articles on liquid-vapour and liquidliquid heat exchangers appearing in chemical engineering journals it ...

Wewould like to congratulate Veves et al. for their excellent review that stressed the importance of painful diabetic neuropathy diagnosis [1]. However, apart from neuropathic pain scales and skin biopsy, we believe that neurophysiological tools are also useful in the diagnostic work-up of diabetic patients with neuropathic pain complaints due to small fiber involvement. Small fiber function ca...

The approach considered is based on coupling of the...

Infrared temperature-sensing techniques have the major advantages of virtually no interference of the sensor with the sensed phenomenon and fast inherent response. On the other hand, infrared temperature sensing, as a superficial measurement technique, does not indicate the specimen’s core temperatures, and hence a complementary thermal analysis is required. A thermal analysis of surface temper...

A LTHOUGH THE IMPORTANCE of the extremities in thermo-regulation is well established little has been done to follow progressive changes in these areas during relatively long exposures to heat and cold. There are available the results of Burton (I) showing a gradual increase in finger blood flow during several days of exposure to heat and a gradual decrease during exposure to cold. In this same ...

abstract background: several case studies have described the use of the superficial inferior epigastric artery (siea) flap as a pedicled flap for reconstruction of upper and lower ex tremities, or a free fasciocutaneous flap when a large amount of skin coverage is required for hemifacial atrophy, breast or head and neck reconstruction. apparently, the anatomical findings of previous studies are...

objectives: down syndrome is the most common chrosomal disorder in which the fine and gross motor skills due to lack of proper sensory experience are disturbed. the role of dexterity in activity of daily living, interaction with environment and independency is quiet crucial in down syndrome. therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of simultaneous application of superfici...
