Dams Overtopping Scenarios from Catastrophic Landslides in Mountains’ Headwaters: Case Study in Kobe City, Japan by Christopher Gomez

“…As a Mw 8.0 Nankai Trough Earthquake is predicted with an 80% probability of occurrence within the next 30 years, the efficiency of check dams in the mountains above Kobe City is a crucial question when considering co-seismic landslide disaster risk management. In the present contribution, the author aimed to define which subsection of the Sumiyoshigawa watershed may be more prone to generate impacts downstream of Kobe City from catastrophic landslides in the headwaters. …”

ِTHE MORPHOLOGICAL AND HISTOLOGICAL STUDY OF THE CAECUM IN BROILER CHICKEN by M. F. Majeed, F.S. Al- Asadi, A. N. Al. Nassir, E. H.Rahi

“…Morphological and histological study were performed in the cecum of ten, six months broiler chicken. The present study was observed that the morphological study distinguished three region from cecum .The proximal ,middle ,and distal represented (23.65%),(42.28%),(34.06%) respectively of the total length of right caecum ,and (23.59%),(43.45%),(23.95%) respectively of the total length of left caecum.The total length of the right caecum were(13.15±0.21)while the total length of left caecum were(13.14±0.44),also was observed that caecal wall composed of four layers( mucosa , submucosa , muscularis and serosa) .The regions of caecum were proximal with developed villi and numerous folds, middle with small villi and numerous folds,while the distal with small villi and avoid of folds .In present study the lymphatic nodules were mostly found in proximal part, but they were less prominent at the distal and least in the middle part of the caecum .the wide and length of lymphatic nodules were more major in the distal part than in the middle and proximal part…”

Comparison of radiography and magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of hand osteoarthritis by D. M. Kudinsky, A. V. Smirnov, L. I. Alekseeva

“…MRI, unlike radiography, makes it possible to visualize the articular cartilage, fluid in the joint cavity, bone marrow edema and soft tissues, but it is more expensive and time-consuming method. At present the main difficulty lies in the absence of a standardized system for assessing the MRI hand OA manifestations, as well as insufficient number of investigations in this area.…”
