Analysis and design of household rainwater catchment systems for rural Rwanda
… catchment system consists of an excavated cistern of 6 cubic meters volume, lined with a plastic tarpaulin sheet and covered with a wood and iron lid, and with a hand pump to extract water. The cistern should provide an average of 16 liters/day/person for the entire year for medium-size …

The foramen magnum and its contents : a magnetic resonance imaging study of the normal spatial relationships
… indicating reduction of the cerebellomedullary cistern and, therefore, crowding of neural structures within the confines of the fora men. The objective of this study has been to examine the spatial relationship between the contents of the foramen magnum ie. the medulla and cerebellar tonsils, …

Local Regulation of Milk Synthesis Capacity in the Mammary Gland of Lactating Dairy Cows
… yield (MY) and its association with changes in cistern and alveolar capacity. Results showed that udder halves milked 4x produced 2.27 kg more MY. Additionally, cows milked during early and mid-lactation had increased cistern capacity, while alveolar capacity remained unaffected. This suggests …

The role of the artist in a developing neighbourhood garden : the case of Dungarven Rd. lot in the community of Jamaica Plain, MA
… The project involves the sinking of a well/cistern, and the implementation of a rainfall collection system to supply the garden with a reliable source of water.

Sizing the first flush and its effect on the storage-reliability-yield behavior of rainwater harvesting in Rwanda
… rooftop via a guttering system and storage in a cistern. During dry weather, dust and other pollutants accumulate on the roof surface and are washed off at the beginning of the next rain. The initial contaminated volume of water flowing from a roof after a rainstorm is known as the first flush …

The Effectiveness Of A Specifically Designed Green Roof Stormwater Treatment System Irrigated With Recycled Stormwater Runoff to Achieve Pollutant Removal and Stormwater Volume Reduction
… green roof stormwater treatment system with a cistern is an effective way to reduce both the volume of and mass of pollutants of stormwater runoff. The year long water budget showed that this system can reduce the volume of stormwater runoff by almost 90%. The green roof model developed within …

Effects of varying energy intakes on mammary growth and development in prepubertal heifers
… the stromal interface, mid-gland, and above the cistern were collected, fixed, and embedded in paraffin. Digital images of stained sections were used to determine tissue composition (% epithelium, lumen, and stroma). Immunochemistry revealed estrogen receptor (ER) and Ki67 (nuclear proliferation …

Quantifying Potential Sources of Microbial Contamination in Household Drinking Water Samples
… on private water supplies (e.g. well, spring, cistern). Previous literature acknowledges bacterial contamination in private water supplies as a significant public health concern in the United States. The present study tested private wells and springs in 20 Virginia counties for total coliforms …

Penn Park: A Study of Ecological Health in an Urban Environment
… uses captured rainwater from an underground cistern that can hold over 200,000 gallons of water. This system is estimated to provide between 50-70% of PP irrigation needs. Soil tests showed that PP soils consist of greater than 90% sand and have low nutrient status and cation exchange …

Effects of Blood Contamination on Cerebrospinal Fluid Cell Counts, Protein, and D-dimer Concentrations
… collected from the cerebellomedullary cistern, is lower than previously reported. D-dimers are plasminolytic cleavage products formed by the cross-linkage of fibrin by Factor XIIIa. In humans, D-dimer analysis can be used to differentiate iatrogenic from pathologic CNS hemorrhage. An …

MAPK and pro-inflammatory mediators in the walls of brain blood vessels following cerebral ischemia
… (CBF), rapid discharge of blood into the basal cisterns, and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), each of which may be fatal. The SAH is most common in women and younger people (below 55 years old). Around 50-70% of patients with SAH die or suffer severe disability, and is the cause of up to 10% of …
