Tile -Drained Watershed Scs-Curve Number Model
Tile flow can be quantified using the altered SCS-CN method. Through theory analogy, a procedure similar to the traditional SCS-CN method was developed to estimate tile flow from rainfall. However, the relationship between initial abstractions and potential maximum retention was redefined. Curve …

Green-Ampt infiltration model parameter determination using SCS curve number (CN) and soil texture class, and application to the SCS runoff model
… (USDA) Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS CN) method is a simple and widely popular technique of estimation of direct runoff volume for design and natural rainfall events in small watersheds. The SCS CN procedure is incorporated into such computer programs as TR-20 and TR-55. Although …

Uni-REPM SCS: a safety maturity model for requirements engineering process
… is an important part in safety-critical system (SCS) development since it is becoming a major source of hazards. Software has been responsible to implement innovative and complex functions and to send instructions to the hardware. Requirements-related hazards have been associated with many …

Development and Validation of the Sense of Competence Scale-Revised (SCS-R)
… The Sense of Competence Scale-Revised (SCS-R) was developed to provide a measure of Chickering’s (1969) first vector, an important psychosocial construct. Administrators can use data from the instrument to modify an institution’s academic and social environment to enhance the development …

A comparison of Scs runoff prediction methods for two large watersheds in Sri Lanka
… model based on the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) runoff curve method. The study results showed that the application of standard SCS tables and standard abstractions does not adequately predict computed direct runoff. The standard SCS curve number method produced good predictions at optimum …

Impact of sire PTA<SUB>SCS</SUB> on mastitis resistance and measures of daughter performance
Research to determine the impact of PTA<SUB>SCS</SUB> on incidence of mastitis, daughter response to infection, and other measures of daughter performance was conducted using data on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd lactation Holsteins obtained from the Virginia Tech herd and from VA DHI herds. Overall …

Analyse de sensibilité du ruissellement et du débit de pointe aux incertitudes d'estimation du paramètre CN de la méthode SCS
L'application des méthodes dites SCS, développées par le service de conservation des ressources nationales des États Unis pour le design en hydrologie, nécessitent la connaissance d'un paramètre essentiel pour leur application. Le paramètre est appelé"le numéro de courbe du ruissellement", noté CN. …

Characterization of the Key Mouse Cochlear Developmental Genes for Auditory Hair Cell Regeneration
… hair cells (HCs) and adjacent supporting cells (SCs) are believed to derive from the same progenitors during development. However, unlike SCs of nonmammalian vertebrates, mammalian cochlear SCs cannot be converted into functional hair cells (HCs) after damage, thus leading to permanent deafness. …

Validation of the Self-Compassion Scale: Correlations with the Beck Depression Inventory-II
… In the past decade, the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) has been used to measure self-compassion in individuals and its effects on social, psychological, and physiological functioning. While many studies have found positive effects of high self- compassion showing promise for the use of the …

Hibernation is super complex: dynamics of electron transport system supercomplexes
… transport system complexes form supercomplexes (SCs) within mitochondrial membranes, perhaps increasing respiratory capacity or reducing reactive oxygen species production. My project aimed to determine the abundance, composition, and stability of SCs in a hibernator. Hibernators have dynamic …

Perceptions of educational professionals regarding the goals and implementation of the school cluster system reform in Namibia: a case study of one cluster in Caprivi region: 1999-2011
The School Cluster System (SCS) reform was introduced in Namibia from 1996 under the auspices of the Basic Education Project. The SCS entails the organising of schools into groups for educational, management and administrative purposes. In the framework of the SCS policy schools are grouped …

Pax3 expression in satellite cells of avian skeletal muscle spindles during normal development and with experimental muscle overload
… and becomes restricted to a few satellite cells (SCs) of select mature muscles. SCs are activated to form new myonuclei during muscle hypertrophy, regeneration and repair. Intrafusal fibers of muscle spindles are thought to persist in a comparatively immature state as, unlike extrafusal fibers, …

THE INFLUENCE OF MELANOMA STEM CELLS ON TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT REMODELING: EXPERIMENTAL INSIGHTS FROM IN VITRO STUDIES
Cancer stem cells (SCs) constitute a small group of tumor cells with SC-like properties, such as selfrenewal and resistance to conventional therapies. In melanoma, it is now well established that cancer SCs play a pivotal role in driving tumor initiation, progression and therapeutic resistance, …

Stabilization of the Cardiac Nervous System During Cardiac Stress Induces Cardioprotection
… Thoracic spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is recognized for its anti-anginal effects and ability to reduce apoptosis in response to acute MI, primarily via modulation of adrenergic efferent systems. The data presented here suggest that cervical SCS exerts similar cardioprotective …

Role of Krox20 Transcription Factor and Krox20+ Stem Cells in Epithelial Tissue Development and Homeostasis
Resident stem cells (SCs) within tissues are important for normal homeostasis maintenance and wound repair. This is mediated by the ability of SCs to properly self-renew, maintain their identity, and differentiate. Epidermal SCs occupy exclusive niches, priming them for giving rise to specific …

Design, analysis, and control of switched supercapacitor banks for e-transportation electric energy storage systems
The hybridization of supercapacitors (SCs) with batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) improves the battery life, acceleration, and driving range. However, the efficiency of the power interface that unites the batteries and SCs are affected due to wide voltage variations at the SC bank terminals. …

UNRAVELLING MECHANISMSOF SCHWANN CELLS IN VESTIBULAR SCHWANNOMA AND THEIR IMPACT ON HEARING LOSS.
… nerve tumour arising from Schwann cells (SCs) of the vestibulocochlear nerve (VN) and represents the most common tumour of the cerebellopontine angle. Although the loss of NF2/merlin is a well-established driver of schwannoma (SCH) formation, likely of the VS, the early biological events …

Investigating neuroectodermal transdifferentiation: How do CNS progenitors form Schwann cells?
… in response to demyelination, Schwann cells (SCs), the myelinating glia of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), can contribute to CNS remyelination. Although CNS-resident SCs were previously thought to have migrated into the CNS from peripheral sources, lineage tracing studies demonstrated …
