abstract soil quality is an essential concept for maximum agriculture production without environmental destruction. studying soil physical quality indicators, that express soil structural stability and soil air-water balance in root zone, is one of the most important aspects of soil quality. so determination of optimal range for pore volume distribution is important and this research carried ou...

PURPOSE This study examined the prediction of performance on measures of the Story Goodness Index (SGI; Lê, Coelho, Mozeiko, & Grafman, 2011) from executive function (EF) and memory measures following traumatic brain injury (TBI). It was hypothesized that EF and memory measures would significantly predict SGI outcomes. METHOD One hundred sixty-seven individuals with TBI participated in the st...

Introduction: Sensory Gating Inventory (SGI) measures behavioral aspects of Sensory Gating (SG). It is a filtering mechanism of brain that prevents irrelevant sensory inputs from entering into higher cortex information processing. It modifies sensitivity to sensory stimuli. Abnormal SG leads to overloading of information into cortex and brain dysfunction. Electrophysiological techniques cannot ...

Hydrological drought is critical from both water management and ecological perspectives. Depending on its hydrological physical features, the resilience level of a catchment to groundwater can differ that meteorological drought. This study presents comparison indices based levels 1987 2018. A small area in Croatia, consisting two sub-catchments with continental climate minimum land-use changes ...

In this study, the temporal and spatial variations of groundwater drought using a Standardized Groundwater Level Index (SGI) were analyzed based on 40 monthly groundwater level observation wells from 1989 to 2012 in Jiangsu Province, China. Meteorological drought, calculated by the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), was also included to reveal its propagation and impact on the groundwater ...

We introduce Satisfiable Random High Degree Subgraph Isomorphism Generator(SRHD-SGI), a variation of the Satisfiable Random Subgraph Isomorphism Generator (SR-SGI). We use the direct encoding to translate the SRHD-SGI instances into Satisfiable SAT instances. We present empirical evidence that the new model preserves the main characteristics of SAT encoded SR-SGI: easy-hard-easy pattern of evol...

The devastating socioeconomic impacts of recent droughts have intensified the need for improved drought monitoring in South Africa (SA). This study has shown that not all indices can be universally applicable at regions worldwide, and there is no single index represent aspects droughts. aim this was to review performance applicability Palmer severity (PDSI), surface water supply (SWSI), vegetat...

This paper investigates the impacts of climate change on groundwater droughts making use regional projections and standardized indices: Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), Evapotranspiration (SPEI) Groundwater (SGI). The method adopted, using historical precipitation temperature data water levels collected in monitoring wells, first possible correlations between meteorological indices at ea...

Human semen coagulum predominantly consists of high molecular mass complexes of the seminal vesicle secreted semenogelin I (SgI) and semenogelin II (SgII). Here we describe a previously unknown variant of the SgI gene that is present at an allele frequency of approximately 3% in the Swedish population. It gives rise to a protein with a molecular mass of 43 kDa, SgI(43), which compared with the ...
