Transient Thunderstorm Downbursts and Their Effects on Wind Turbines

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standard 61400-1 for the design of wind turbines does not explicitly address site-specific conditions associated with anomalous atmospheric events or conditions. Examples of off-standard atmospheric conditions include thunderstorm downbursts, hurricanes, tornadoes, low-level jets, etc. The simulation of thunderstorm downbursts and associated l...

A note on captive breeding and reproductive parameters of the Chinese pangolin, Manis pentadactyla Linnaeus, 1758

The Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla Linnaeus, 1758) is a critically endangered species, and documents on its captive breeding and reproductive parameters are scarce. MP8, kept in the Pangolin Research Base for Artificial Rescue and Conservation Breeding of South China Normal University (the PRB-SCNU), gave birth to a male offspring (MP86) on 19 October 2011. The baby pangolin was well deve...

Microphysical effects of Saharan dusts on an orogenic thunderstorm

This study investigates the microphysical sensitivity of an orogenic thunderstorm during Genoa 1992 flood event to the concentration and solubility of nucleating aerosols. Idealized 2-D simulations with a new microphysical scheme and a cloud resolving model showed the solubility of CCN can be as important as their concentration. High solubility cases of CCN led to less accumulation of precipita...

Immunoglobulin Spots on Rabbit Lymphocytes

There is considerable evidence for the presence of immunoglobulins on the ~urface of lymphocytes in different species. This evidence is given b y the transformation of rabbi t lymphocytes into immunoblasts after contact with antiimmunoglobulin or ant i -al lotypic antisera (1), formation of rosettes with the same antisera in the presence of sensitized erythrocytes (2), and inhibit ion of rosett...
