A comparative analysis of plant response parameters : to the Los Angeles aqueduct systems in the Mojave Desert, California
<p>A comparative study of the two Los Angeles aqueduct systems was appropriate and feasible because of the 57 year span between construction dates. Although, dealing with complex interactive relationships of a variety of parameters and some unmeasurable aspects, this project attempted to get a …

Historic Reinforced Concrete in Alberta: Analysis and Conservation of Two Structures
The Brooks Aqueduct and the Greenhill mine tipple structure were built in the turn of the twentieth century in southern Alberta. They were among the first reinforced concrete structures to be built in that region and are considered great engineering and construction achievements for their time. …

Water infrastructure : hybridized architecture along the Arizona canal
… lost to evaporation and seepage from the exposed aqueduct and Lake Pleasant reservoir. This amount of loss is equivalent to the amount of water required to supply 75,000 households annually. With increasing pressures on the Central Arizona canal, we should restrategize and reinvest in this …

Venous haemodynamic and cerebrospinal fluid anomalies associated with multiple sclerosis
… exhibit increased CSF pulsatility in the Aqueduct of Sylvius, which appears to be linked with mild venous hypertension associated with CCSVI; and (v) jugular venous reflux is associated with white matter and parenchymal volumetric changes in Alzheimer’s patients. Collectively, these …

Decentralized model predictive control of urban drainage systems
… is directed through hydraulic pumps. Surface aqueduct collects water with high kinetic energy and pushes water through spiral case to generate electricity. Locations with these devices installed induce lower operation cost and thus have higher priorities to be utilized. Once we formulate the …

Evidence of inner-ear mechanisms in bone conduction in chinchillas
… or third window pathways, e.g. the cochlear aqueduct. While ear canal compression and middle ear inertia sources may contribute to the total bone conduction response (a 10 dB decrease in Psv after middle ear interruption and stapes fixation, and a 10 dB increase after ear canal occlusion), …

Use of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy (ETV) In Treatment of Pediatric Obstructive Hydrocephalus; A Multi-Level Retrospective Analysis of the United States Pediatric Population.
… of CSF fluid flow in the region of the cerebral aqueduct. Clinical studies have shown both the high success rates of use of the ETV procedure, and also demonstrated the risk of mortality associated with ETV. The study objective was to identify the non-clinical factors associated with the use and …

An investigation of CSF dynamics and biochemical composition in normal pressure hydrocephalus utilizing the phase contrast MRI scanning
… various CSF flow variables through the cerebral aqueduct and studied their relationship with the patient selection for shunting. The decision for shunting was based on the usual clinical grounds and the treating physician was blinded by the results of the CSF flow characteristics. For analysis of …
