Aamir, M., Mahmood, H., Tahir, N., Nawaz, R., Jabbar, Abdul, Babar, Tariq M., Ullah, Aman
Drug disposition investigated under indigenous conditions showed variations when compared with the values given in the literature. These variations emphasize the basis of indigenous investigations. Urinary excretion of trimethoprim was investigated in eight healthy human (male) volunteers. The...

Forbes, Dorothy A., Thiessen, Emily J., Blake, Catherine, Forbes, ScottC., & Forbes, Sean C.
This is an update of our previous 2008 review. Several recent trials and systematic reviews of the impact of exercise on people with dementia are reporting promising findings. Objectives Primary: Do exercise programs for older people with dementia improve cognition, activities of daily living...

Exhaustion and steady state models for predicting landslide hazards in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
Download1993
The temporal distribution of landslides can be evaluated by steady-state and exhaustion models. The probability of landsliding remains constant through time in the steady-state model but the probability decreases in the exhaustion model as more slopes fail. Rock sliding down bedding surfaces on...

Expansion of ruminant-specific microRNAs shapes target gene expression divergence between ruminant and non-ruminant species
Download2013
Kommadath, A., Bao, H., Meng, Y., Plastow, G. S., Stothard, P., Sun, X., Arantes, A. S., Guan, L. L.
Background Understanding how species-specific microRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to species-specific phenotypes is a central topic in biology. This study aimed to elucidate the role of ruminant-specific miRNAs in shaping mRNA expression divergence between ruminant and non-ruminant species. ...

The interaction between a capsule (bubble or droplet) and a flow structure of the continuous phase can affect the properties of the liquids, cells, and particles transferring within the capsule. Channel geometry is a common example of the flow structure influencer. Investigating the effect of...

Experimental and computational studies were carried out on the S-shaped diffusers to determine the impact of the change in curvature of a straight-wall diffuser. A straight diffuser became a curved diffuser at completely different angles as their similar upper and lower limbs (30°/30°, 45°/45°)....

Solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a promising clean technology to generate power with high efficiency at different scales. Decreasing the degradation rate of SOFCs is a challenge that can be tackled by lowering the operation temperature (<650°C). However, this can adversely affect cell performance...

Experimental Correlations for the Performance and Aperture Selection of Wire Wrapped Screens in Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage Production Wells
Download2020-08-01
Jesus David Montero Pallares, Chenxi Wang, Mohammad Haftani, Alireza Nouri
Wire-wrapped screens (WWSs) are one of the most-commonly used devices by steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) operators because of the capacity to control plugging and improve flow performance. WWSs offer high open-to-flow area (OFA) (6 to 18%) that allow a high release of fines, hence, less...

Experimental evidence for the rapid evolution of behavioral canalization in natural populations
Download2009
Lynch, B.R., Trussell, G.C., Palmer, A.R., Edgell, T.C.
Canalization—the evolutionary loss of the capacity of organisms to develop different phenotypes in different environments— is an evolutionary phenomenon suspected to occur widely, although examples in natural populations are elusive. Because behavior is typically a highly flexible component of an...

The objective of this study was to investigate the prediction of the wetting characteristics obtained from the equilibrium adsorption analysis using the Zeta adsorption isotherm approach with an experimental study. Water vapor’s adsorption and wetting characteristics on a hydroxylated and...
