A process-based nitrogen model suitable for urban stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), when used as an extension to current models, can assist decision-making by predicting removal performances. While such a has not been created, modules agricultural fields have developed and applied. In this paper, the in six models are reviewed perspective of assisting development module BMPs. The con...

The selection and execution of appropriate best management practices (BMPs) in critical areas a watershed can effectively reduce sediment yield. Objectives this research include developing watershed-scale Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model for the Big Sunflower River Watershed (BSRW), identifying high yield using calibrated validated model, assessing effects various BMPs. efficiency three ...

Best Management Practices (BMPs) are implemented in a watershed to reduce the amount of non-point source pollutants transported to water bodies. However, an optimization algorithm is required to choose the efficient type, size, and location of BMPs for application in a watershed for improving the water quality. In this study, the Charged System Search, a well-known and powerful meta-heuristic o...

Trauma and disease frequently result in fractures or critical sized bone defects and their management at times necessitates bone grafting. The process of bone healing or regeneration involves intricate network of molecules including bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). BMPs belong to a larger superfamily of proteins and are very promising and intensively studied for in the enhancement of bone he...

Autograft is considered the gold standard in non-union treatment. However, it is associated with significant morbidity and limited biological activity. The introduction of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) has added a valuable tool to the surgeon's possibilities. The initial expectations of the effectiveness of BMPs were high, but over the years the union rate of BMPs was shown to be comparabl...

Discovered in 1965, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of cytokines from the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) superfamily with significant roles in bone and cartilage formation. BMPs are used as powerful osteoinductive components of diverse tissue-engineering products for the healing of bone. Several BMPs with different physiological roles have been identified in humans. Th...

This commentary is a concise discussion of the interactions between bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their binding proteins in bone and cartilage morphogenesis. BMPs are a family of growth and differentiation factors, and they act on mesenchymal cells to induce cartilage and bone differentiation in concentration-dependent thresholds. The BMP-BMP receptor binding leads to a cascade of sign...

Planners advocate best management practices (BMPs) to reduce loss of sediment and nutrients in agricultural areas. However, the scientific community lacks tools that use readily available data to investigate the relationships between BMPs and their spatial locations and water quality. In rural, humid regions where runoff is associated with saturation-excess processes from variable source areas ...

Nonpoint source pollution control and stormwater management are two objectives in managing mixed land use watersheds like those in New Jersey. Various best management practices (BMPs) have been developed and implemented to achieve both objectives. This study assesses the cost-effectiveness of selected BMPs for agricultural nonpoint source pollution control and stormwater management in the Nesha...

Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are well known for their influence on cell fate determination, proliferation and differentiation during early embryogenesis. Here, we review evidence for BMPs playing an additional, ongoing role in the proliferation and differentiation of neural precursor and progenitor cells in postnatal and adult central nervous system (CNS) and in CNS injury. The effects of B...
