Measurements of the aerosol optical depth (AOD) and the Ångström exponent were retrieved from level 1.5 data obtained by the CE318 sun photometer at Dalian monitoring station from April 2007 to April 2012 to characterize the aerosol spatial and temporal characteristics in this coastal region of Northeast China. The results suggest that the highest mean ̆ SD value for the AOD over Dalian occurre...

The purpose of this investigation was to study and compare the electrophoretic patterns of optic lensproteins of different species of domestic animals at pre- and post-natal ages. Optic lenses were removed from the embryo or adult sheep, cattle, goat, camel and chicken at the slaughter-house then homogenized and subjected to sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). I...

results the electrophysiology laboratory staff received higher doses of ionizing radiation (17.2 ± 11.9 msv; p < 0.001). there was a significant positive correlation between the years of working experience and effective dose in the lens (p < 0.001). in general, our findings showed that the incidence of lens opacity was 79% (95% ci, 69.9-88.1) in participants with exposure (the case group) and o...

Rapid retreat of Arctic sea ice extends the area open ocean for new trans-Arctic shipping routes. However, projected routes may be too optimistic in terms savings costs from shortened distances as they do not consider increased fog frequency (SFF) over areas retreating ice. We show that delays due to can 1–4 days, about 23%–27% along Northwest Passage and 4%–11% Northern Sea Route than previous...
