Applying Hypothesis of Self-Similarity for Flow-Resistance Law in Calabrian Gravel-Bed Rivers

2018

In this paper, the results of an investigation carried out to test the applicability of a flow-resistance law on gravel-bed rivers in southern Italy (fiumare) are reported. First, dimensional analysis and self-similarity theory are applied for deducing the flow-resistance law (i.e., relationship among friction factor, mean velocity, shear stress, and physical properties) for gravel-bed rivers with a high boulder concentration. The proposed approach is calibrated and tested using two independent data sets (104 reaches of some Calabrian fiumare). Then, the incomplete self-similarity hypothesis is also applied to theoretically deduce the flow-velocity profile, which was integrated for obtainin…

THE CLINICAL ACTIVITY SCORE IN MANAGEMENT OF GRAVES’ OPHTHALMOPATHY: CORRELATION WITH ORBITAL MR IMAGING.

2015

Our aime was to investigate the correlation between GO ocular parameters obtained by MRI with contrast administration and the well-know clinical indicators of GO and to examine the relationship between the clinical course of hyperthyroidism and GO severity

Are there steady-state phytoplankton assemblages in the field?

2003

The difficulty in advancing in Ecology is due, in part, to the fact that this science uses a mainly qualitative language instead of a more formal or mathematical one. Therefore, many ecologists' efforts are expended in controversies resulting from the vagueness of ecological concepts, for example: stability, equilibrium, ecosystem, community, and so on. When approaching the study of steady-state phytoplankton assemblage, the different interpretations of these concepts can paralyse fruitful discussion. In the following pages, there is an endeavour to both restrict and precise the meaning of some of the concepts related to this topic and to broaden the range of possibilities of steady-state i…

Valutazione tonometrica in due posizioni di sguardo nell'orbitopatia di Graves

2006

Aim.To asses effective role of thickness of superior rectus muscle in the variation of intraocular pression (IOP) in the patients with Graves' ophthalmopathy.Methods.IOP was measured in 76 eyes of 38 patients(mean age,42.4 years;range 19 to 58 years)with Graves' ophthalmopathy in primary and in upgaze position(Elevation with divergence of 23°).Results.IOP in 52 of the 76 eyes was 17.5 +/-2.12 mm Hgin primary position and 21.2 +/-2.75 mm Hg in upgaze position.In the eyes (28)with thickness of the superior rectus muscle >4.6 mm,IOP was 22.7+/-1.48 mm Hg in primary position and 27.1 +/-1.92 mm Hg in upgaze position.The difference in the values in this group is statistically significant ( the p…

LA OCUPACIÓN SOLUTRENSE DEL ABRIGO DE LA BOJA (MULA, MURCIA, ESPAÑA)

2013

El relleno pleistoceno del Abrigo de la Boja (ADB) empieza con un nivel adscrito al Magdaleniense superior, seguido de un potente paquete con ocupación difusa bajo el cual se desarrolla una secuencia depositada durante el último máximo glacial caracterizada por una serie de estructuras de combustión, de tipo hogar plano/amorfo (open hearth), existiendo también hogares de cubeta. Destaca un hogar enlosado, completo y muy bien conservado, excavado en 2012 y adscrito provisionalmente al Solutreogravetiense. Los niveles solutrenses subyacentes son ricos en elementos de adorno, entre los cuales conchas perforadas de Littorina obtusata y Smaragdia viridis; su industria lítica incluye raspadores, …

Cultivation of Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) with Different Row Arrangements

2011

Dill (Anethum graveolens L.) is an annual plant from the Umbelliferae. Although in cookery also sprouts and tender leaves are used, the drug from dill is represented by the scented fruits (“seeds”), largely used for flavouring conserved foods and liqueurs, but also by the herbal and cosmetic industry. In this work, we present the results of a trial performed in Sicily, putting under comparison four different row arrangements: CR30 (continuous rows 30 cm apart), CR60 (continuous rows 60 cm apart), CR90 (continuous rows 90 cm apart) and TR (twin rows with a distance of 30 cm inside and 60 cm between twin rows). The plant population on the row (12 plants m-1) was constant and according the row…

Immunosuppressant therapy of thyroid eye disease.

1988

Thyroid eye disease is attributed to an autoimmune process where both cellular and humoral immunity play a role. In this report, after a short introduction dealing with immunopathogenesis of the disease, immunosuppressant therapy is discussed. Treatment with glucocorticoids (as the standard substance), nonsteroid immunosuppressants (azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, lately cyclosporin) and with the immunomodulatory substance ciamexone is reviewed. Retroorbital irradiation as a "local" immunosuppressive method and plasmapheresis are also discussed. While systemic glucocorticoids and to a lesser extent orbital radiotherapy are routinely administered for severe Graves' ophthalmopathy, nonsteroid…
