Abstract In this study, we compare equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs) calculated using the area–altitude balance ratio (AABR) and accumulation–area (AAR) methods, with measured ELAs derived from direct field observations. We utilise a GIS toolbox to calculate ELA for 64 extant glaciers by applying AABR AAR methods DEMs polygons of their geometry. The (c-ELAs) are then compared zero-net (znb-ELAs...

background: electrophysiologic (edx) study is the most valuable method in grading the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (cts), but it is invasive and painful. we evaluated the efficacy of ultrasound for this purpose. materials and methods: eighty-one wrists of 52 consecutive patients with clinical evidences of cts, confirmed and graded by edx as mild, moderate, and severe, were examined by ult...

the human blood basal glucose level is a completely controlled range. information on the relationship between culture glucose concentration and changes in the cell's surface area, volume and surface area to volume (s/v) ratio are lacking. cancerous epithelial-like cell lines sw480, sw742 and t-47d were cultured in mediums nourished with 4.7 mm per liter of glucose as the control group and three...
