The purpose of this article was to assess the overall health behaviors of African American emerging adults who live in a Midwestern city. Two hundred participants, ages 18-25, completed a 129-item survey. Results indicate that African American emerging adults are engaged in relatively healthy behaviors (i.e., physical activity, low substance use). The results also showed that within the emergin...

This work presents a new software tool for morphometric analysis of drainage networks based on the methods of Hack (1973) and Etchebehere et al. (2004). This tool is applicable to studies of morphotectonics and neotectonics. The software used a digital elevation model (DEM) to identify the relief breakpoints along drainage profiles (knickpoints). The program was coded in Python for use on the A...

background: it is still controversial that the stem cells isolated from human dental pulp meets the criteria for mesenchymal stem cells (mscs). the aim of the present study was to examine whether or not they are mscs, or are distinct stem cells population residing in tooth pulp.   methods: adherent fibroblastic cells in the culture of pulp tissue from human third molars were propagated through ...

These parameterizations, however, still rely on the si...

During the homogeneous-heterogeneous autocatalytic chemical reaction in the dynamics of micropolar fluid, relaxation of heat transfer is inevitable; hence Cattaneo-Christov heat flux model is investigated in this report. In this study, radiative heat flux through an optically thick medium is treated as nonlinear due to the fact that thermal radiation at low heat energy is distinctly different f...

Predicting the vibration response of an elastic structure excited by a turbulent flow is interest for civil and military transportation sector. The models proposed in literature are generally based on assumption that boundary layer (noted TBL following) exciting spatially homogeneous. However, this not always fulfilled practice, particular when area close to starting point or with curved struct...

introduction this research addresses the automatic extraction of alluvial fans using four methods of segmentation from satellite data. this segmentation method divides images into partitions. it is typically used to recognize objects or other relevant purposes in digital images (fu, 2013:3260). alluvial fans have always been a landform that attracts human because they are suitable areas for liv...
