according to recent studies, about 60 percent of surface waters and 57 percent ground waters are located in snowy zones in iran. in most areas of northern hemisphere and alpine environment areas, snow melt lead to the maximum instantaneous flow rate and is an important part of annual discharge. the present study investigated the effect of snowmelt on the surface waters and ground waters in baha...

Elastic network models (ENMs) have over the last decade enjoyed considerable success in the study of macromolecular dynamics. These models have been used to predict the global dynamics of a variety of proteins and protein complexes, ranging in size from single enzymes to macromolecular machines (Keskin et al. 2002), ribosomes (Tama et al. 2003, Wang et al. 2004) and viral capsids (Tama & Brooks...

The two light-sensitive neurons in the crayfish's abdominal sixth ganglion ("caudal photoreceptors," or CPRs), are both primary light sensors and secondary neurons in a mechanosensory pathway. Pei et al. (1996) demonstrated that light enhances the transduction of weak, periodic hydrodynamic stimuli (measured as an increase in the signal-to-noise ratio at the stimulus frequency in the power spec...
