URBAN ATMOSPHERIC BOUNDARY-LAYER STRUCTURE IN COMPLEX TOPOGRAPHY: AN EMPIRICAL 3D CASE STUDY FOR STUTTGART, GERMANY

Urban Atmospheric Boundary-Layer Structure in Complex Topography: An Empirical 3D Case Study for Stuttgart, Germany

Investigation of the atmospheric boundary-layer structure in urban areas can be challenged by landscape complexity and the heterogenous conditions this instills.Stuttgart, Germany, is a city situated in a bowl-shaped basin and troubled by the accumulation of pollutants during weak-wind conditions.The center of Stuttgart is surrounded by steep slope

Increased microerythrocyte count in homozygous alpha(+)-thalassaemia contributes to protection against severe malarial anaemia.

The heritable haemoglobinopathy alpha(+)-thalassaemia is caused by the reduced synthesis of alpha-globin chains that form part of normal adult haemoglobin (Hb).Individuals homozygous for alpha(+)-thalassaemia have microcytosis and an increased erythrocyte count.Alpha(+)-thalassaemia homozygosity confers considerable protection against severe malari

Effect of feeding cauliflower leaf meal on blood-biochemical, immunity status and carcass characteristics of growing goat kids

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of feeding cauliflower leaf meal (CLM) on blood biochemical, immunity status and carcass characteristics of growing goat kids.Fifteen male non-descript goat kids of 6-8 months of age were divided equally into three groups (T0, T1 and T2).T0 group was fed with basal diet and T1 and T2 group were fed
