Uroscopy is the macroscopic examination of urine, and it is an important diagnostic tool in Unani medicine. The findings of uroscopy are linked with the humoral theory of medicine. Human Urine is the first fluid that was examined for medical purposes. There are seven parameters in uroscopy, each parameter is studied in detail and then the conclusion is drawn based on the findings of all. Examination of urinary sediments is one of the parameters in uroscopy. In urine, sediment is a denser and differentiable component from the watery constituent.

Abstract:
The area of Chroberz (southern Poland) poses questions of an interdisciplinary character comprising geomorphologic, sedimentation, and archaeological-historical problems. The main aim of this study was to identify the geomorphologic response to changes in the natural environment that took place in the area of the loess plateau (and its close vicinity) as a result of its settlement by man and of climate change. Periods of particularly intense human activity (land-use changes, deforestation, and agriculture) were recorded as changes in the type of sedimentation, i.e. organic sedimentation substi

The mechanism and enzymic activities responsible for the lipolysis of stored cytosolic triacylglycerol in liver and its re-esterification remain obscure. A candidate enzyme for lipolysis, a microsomal triacylglycerol hydrolase (TGH), was recently purified to homogeneity from pig liver and its kinetic properties were determined [Lehner and Verger (1997) Biochemistry 36, 1861–1868].

Abstract:
Water inrush is a major geological hazard for safe mining and tunnel construction. For the water inrush channel containing mud, sand, and other sediments, it is difficult to predict the change of permeability and water surge, which makes disaster prevention difficult. As a typical water inrush channel, a filled fracture under seepage-induced erosion needs to be focused. In this work, a numerical model for the evolution of flow in a filled fracture under seepage-induced erosion was established, which included the seepage velocity, hydraulic erosion, and permeability of the filling medium.

Activation of human platelets with thrombin transiently increases phosphorylation at558threonine of moesin as determined with phosphorylation state-specific antibodies.

However, all of the artificial cores mentioned above were created with high homogeneity, injected, cured, and had their physical properties measured in the vertical direction
