Standard laboratory methods for measurement of soil nitrate (NO3–N) use various procedures and instruments to analyze soil samples taken from the field and transported to the laboratory
Submarine landslides have attracted widespread attention, with the continuous development of ocean engineering. Due to the recent developments of in-situ investigation and modelling techniques of submarine landslides, significant improvements were achieved in the evolution studies on submarine landslides. The general characteristics of typical submarine landslides in the world are analyzed
The visuoperceptual measure for videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VMV) is a new measure for analysing the recordings from videofluoroscopic swallow studies (VFSS). This study evaluated the reliability and validity of the pilot version of the VMV using classical test theory (CTT) analysis, informed by the consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments (COSMIN)…

Pendidikan orang dewasa sangat tertarik pada bagaimana analisis kekuasaan dapat digunakan untuk mendukung pembelajaran transformatif dan partisipasi demokratis. Dalam dunia ya…
This reference provides comprehensive information on the taxonomy and distribution in time and space of all currently recognized southern African fossil mammals. After an introductory background chapter on southern Africa, mammals, sites and dating, the following chapters are presented by epoch, covering the Eocene, Miocene, Pliocene, Pleistocene and Holocene. Individual maps provide informatio…
Chemical stabilization of soils is one of the most used techniques to improve the properties of weak soils in order to allow their use in geotechnical works. Although several binders can be used for this purpose, Portland cement is still the most used binder (alone or combined with others) to stabilize soils. However, the use of Portland cement is associated with many environmental problems,…
A stall of cis-1,2-DCE and vinyl chloride (VC) is frequently observed during bioremediation of groundwater chloroethenes via reductive dechlorination. These chloroethenes may be oxidised by aerobic methanotrophs or ethenotrophs co-metabolically and/or metabolically
In the medical world, the problems of back and spine are usually inseparable. They can take various forms ranging from the low back pain to scoliosis and osteoporosis. Medical Imag‐ ing provides very useful information about the patient's condition, and the adopted treat‐ ment depends on the symptoms described and the interpretation of this information
With the popularization of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications and the continuous development of the power grid network, identifying power line scenarios in advance is very important for the safety of low-altitude flight. The power line scene recognition (PLSR) under complex background environments is particularly important. The complex background environment of power lines is usually…
The impacts of climate change on water resources management as well as the increasing severe natural disasters over the last decades have caught global attention. Reliable and accurate hydrological forecasts are essential for efficient water resources management and the mitigation of natural disasters
