Expression of glycolytic enzymes in ovarian cancers and evaluation of the glycolytic pathway as a strategy for ovarian cancer treatment

Table S2. Spearman correlation of the expression of four glycolytic enzymes in a cohort of 380 ovarian cancers. Spearman rho correlation values (top value) along with the respective adjusted P value (bottom value) of statistically significant correlations thresholded at FDR P < 0.01 are summarised.

Radial flow towards a karstic spring

With the assumption of unidirectional groundwater flow, a theoretical derivation of empirically proposed Schoeller's model appeared in literature. However, it is clear that radial flow conditions which exist in circular sectorial watersheds, are much more representative of nature. Therefore, the validity of Schoeller's model for watersheds which can, approximately, be represented with a circular sector still needs to be investigated. Thus, the subject was analyzed in this study and it has been shown that, Schoeller's model is also valid for circular sectorial watersheds

The effect of the ignorance of the well losses on the estimation of aquifer parameters

Aquifer parameters, transmissivity(T) and storage coefficient(S), and the well losses, mostly have been estimated in practice independently from each other. This independent estimation means that pumping well is assumed to be 100% efficient in determination of aquifer parameters. On the other hand; drawdowns, observed during the course of a pumping test, are strictly related to the well losses as well as the aquifer parameters. This interrelation, implies the necessity of simultaneous determination of both aquifer parameters and the well losses. Thus in this study, a computer program is written for this purpose using nonlinear curve fitting techniques and, it has been shown that estimated aquifer parameters may be erroneous if the well losses is not taken into account

The effect of Yatagan thermal power plant (Mugla, Turkey) on the quality of surface and groundwaters

Yatagan thermal power plant consumes annually 5.4 million tons of coal and the annual production capacity of the plant is 3.78 billion KWh. The thermal power plant uses 15000 tons of coal and discharges 5000 tons of fly and bottom ash daily to the disposal site. The waste is dumped using conveyer belts and pipes into a dam founded on metamorphic rocks. However, as the waste hills formed, the water level reached the karstic marbles that over lay schist. Water leaches through dried waste hills and karstic marbles, ultimately adversely affecting the quality of ground and surface waters. The concentrations of major and minor ions were determined on water samples taken at 2 points in the dam, 5 points in surface water and at 21 points in groundwater located in the vicinity of the waste disposal site, total of 28 samples, for three years. The chemical analyses revealed that the concentrations of Ca2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, Sb2+ and SO42- in some samples exceed the Turkish Drinking Water, the U.S. EPA and WHO limits. Isotope analyses were carried out to determine the origins of waters, which showed that contamination is taking place in the vicinity of the waste disposal site
