COCKPIT-PLUS: A PROPOSED METHOD FOR RAPID GROUNDWATER VULNERABILITY-DRIVEN LAND USE ZONING IN TROPICAL COCKPIT KARST AREAS

COCKPIT-PLUS: A proposed method for rapid groundwater vulnerability-driven land use zoning in tropical cockpit karst areas

Karst groundwater is highly vulnerable to contamination, which urges better land use zoning.This paper proposes a new approach, called COCKPIT-PLUS, to minimize groundwater contamination within cockpit karst regions.The method employed four parameters: P (the existence of ponor/swallow hole), L (lineament density), U (sinking stream to an undergrou

Limits on the core temperature anisotropy of solar wind protons

We analyse the temperature anisotropy of the protons in the solar wind and thereby concentrate on plasma data obtained in the year 1976 of the Helios 1 and Helios 2 missions.We derive the core proton temperatures and , in the directions perpendicular and parallel to the magnetic field, as well as altitude sunscreen the core parallel plasm

Differences in activation of pelvic floor muscles in response to electrical stimulation in men using different electrode montages

Objective:: To measure contraction of the striated urethral sphincter, bulbocavernosus and puborectalis muscles with transperineal ultrasound imaging in response to electrical stimulation with three electrode montages.Materials and methods:: Electrical stimulation was applied via anal, perineal and perineal-to-suprapubic electrode montages in ten h

Targeted delivery of oxaliplatin via folate-decorated niosomal nanoparticles potentiates resistance reversion of colon cancer cells

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent type of cancer, ranking third in incidence and fourth in cancer-related deaths globally.The increase in mortality rates related to colorectal cancer among younger patients is a cause for concern.Chemotherapy is the primary approach for palliative care in colon cancer, but the development of drug re
