DEPENDING on your point of view, members of the barberry (Berberis) clan are valuable ornamental plants, invasive botanical thugs, a boon to wildlife, a great means of enclosing property, a low-maintenance method of erosion control, or the alternate hosts of a pernicious crop disease.
The gout radiographic damage index is a modified Sharp/van der Heijde scoring method of erosion and joint space narrowing, which incorporates the joints scored in the rheumatoid arthritis scoring method and the hand distal interphalangeal joints.
This study explored Yemeni dentists' and dental students' knowledge about the associated factors, approaches to diagnosis and preventive methods of dental erosion (DE), as well as any associations between DE awareness and some potentially related variables.
Methods of recording soil erosion using photographs exist but they are not commonly considered in scientific studies.
Conventional, manual methods for field monitoring of erosion and deposition, however, normally deliver information of low temporal resolution conditioned by infrequent field resurveys.
The measurement of cosmogenic nuclides produced in mineral grains has revolutionized the study of landscape evolution by providing methods to measure rates of erosion, soil production, and river incision over time scales ranging from thousands to millions of years.

Based on TCN methods, basin-wide rates of erosion range from ~ 0.1 to 1.4 km/Ma and are five to ten times lower than the unroofing rate of both massifs.
This method evaluates the severity of erosion and/or fissures of cartilage, disorganization or loss of chondrocytes, and pannus formation.
These methods greatly improve the estimation of erosion and deposition within a watershed, but are limited when determining land use-based soil and sediment movement.
