This paper presents a range of applications of the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS), a comprehensive mesoscale meteorological modeling system. Applications discussed in this paper include large eddy simulations (LES) and simulations of thunderstorms, cumulus fields, mesoscale convective systems, mid-latitude cirrus clouds, winter storms, mechanicallyand thermally-forced mesoscale sys...

Protein synthesis has been investigated in different regions of the epididymis from normal rams, castrate rams, and castrate testosterone supplemented rams. Results show that there are few differences in the pattern of [35S]methionine-labelled proteins synthesized in different regions of the normal epididymis despite the variation in the morphology of the epithelial cells lining the duct. Three...

Shigeto HIRAGURI ȁSince the IEC published RAMS Standard in 2002 objective to railways, its importance and an impact of the standard to Japan have been conspicuous. On the contrary, new various train control systems based on information technology are under active development. Considering such situations, we assume that it is essential to establish a method to design railway-signalling systems, ...

In mature rams, the signs of high functional activity thyroid gland are observed in autumn period. An increase diameter follicles (109.1±0.58 microns) is marked, height epithelium (9.6±0.11 and area thyrocyte nuclei (32.8±0.38 μm2) statistically significant (P<0.001). pituitary rams period, there an number tyrotropes. The cytoplasm tyrotropes filled with secretory granules, which reflects le...

INTRODUCTION Virological response to etravirine (ETR) is dependent on the type and number of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) resistance-associated mutations (RAMs). METHODS Data on NNRTI used in HAART at the time of failure and the number of NNRTI-RAMs were collected and retrospectively analyzed. ETR-RAMs were defined as V90I, A98G, L100I, K101E/H/P, V106I, E138A, V179D...

The behaviour was similar in the ewes of the two breeds. When rams were introduced among ewes in the late summer and autumn, mating always commenced immediately, and most ewes mated within the first three to four weeks. On some occasions when rams were introduced in the spring, there was a delay before mating began; on most other occasions the initial rate of mating was rather low and in most i...

The seasons in the 1 year study were classified as rainy, transitional rainy-dry, dry, and transitional dry-rainy. Semen pH and the consistency of the testes did not vary between seasons or among rams. All other characteristics of semen and testis varied between rams. Significant seasonal differences were observed for ejaculate volume, mass, % motility, forward motility score and concentration ...
