Determination of Fog-Droplet Deposition Velocity from a Simple Weighing Method

A simple method of weighing the heart.

A simple method of dividing and weighing the heart is described. It is quick to perform and ratios between the left and right ventricles and the total weight of the heart are remarkably constant. Analysis of 788 cases shows that these ratios are of value in the diagnosis after death of systemic and pulmonary hypertension. This is applicable to both sexes at all ages. An unexpected finding was a...

Fog Deposition Measurements with the Eddy Covariance Method

The eddy covariance method is considered the only direct flux measurement method. Its application for fog deposition measurements is relatively new and has a high potential to allow the accurate determination of nutrient and trace element deposition due to fog droplet interception by vegetation canopies. Based on experiences gained at an agricultural site on the Swiss Plateau and a mountainous ...

A simple body weighing machine.

It is customary to weigh the organs removed at necropsy and these measurements provide objective criteria of atrophy, hypertrophy, and disease. However, surprisingly few mortuaries have facilities for weighing whole bodies. When this hospital opened in 1970 attempts to obtain a body weighing machine within the limits of the budget were unsuccessful and a simple modification of the body elevatin...

Organic aerosol effects on fog droplet spectra

[1] Organic aerosol alters cloud and fog properties through surface tension and solubility effects. This study characterizes the role of organic compounds in affecting fog droplet number concentration by initializing and comparing detailed particle microphysical simulations with two field campaigns in the Po Valley. The size distribution and chemical composition of aerosol were based on the mea...
