This study examines in detail lightning activities over West Africa using the worldwide location network (WWLLN). The Worldwide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN; operated by University of Washington) is a developing, experimental detection increasingly used for applications. In Africa, there are many studies on diurnal process activity at regional level, but shortage literature examining varia...

OBJECTIVE Optimization of physiological replacement of glucocorticoid in patients with adrenal insufficiency is controversial. The present study was undertaken to compare the relative impact of three different regimes of glucocorticoid replacement in patients with adrenal insufficiency on parameters of bone turnover and insulin sensitivity. PATIENTS Six female and three male patients with adr...

Taze tüketime sunulan kiraz, klimakterik olmayan meyve grubunda yer almaktadır. Bundan dolayı hasat sonrası uygulanacak muhafaza yöntemleri kirazın raf ömrü için oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada soğuk depolarda edilerek kirazların süresi boyunca mikrobiyal kalitesinin arttırılması amaçlanmıştır.

In the present study, sweet cherry fruit (Prunus avium cv. 0900 Ziraat) were dipped into calcium (Ca) gluconate (calcium concentration of 1.5%) and distilled water (as control). The treated stored at 1 ± 0.5°C 90% relative humidity for 4 weeks in two different packages. At weekly intervals, weight loss, firmness, colour changes, soluble solids content, titratable acidity, sensory analysis, tota...

This observational study investigates New York City (NYC) impacts on summer sea breeze fronts (SBFs) during a 2018 LISTOS Campaign day with regional heat wave and O3 episode. A morning urban island peaked at 8.3 °C then induced convergences into the City, trapping its NO2 emissions. SBFs came ashore 0700 EST from Atlantic along southern Long Island (LI), LI Sound northern Connecticut; 2-h later...

This paper examines case studies from Roman Burgundy involving suspected symbolic recarving during Late Antiquity. Is it possible that religious desecration took place before the Theodosian Codex, and if so, why? Can we differentiate them cases of wanton violence? The ambiguous found at “Sources de la Seine” sanctuary (Côte-d'Or) Entrains-sur-Nohain (Nièvre) help demonstrate methodological diff...

The aim of the study was to examine use controlled atmosphere (CA) box, a new technology, for sweet cherry storage. In addition, this technology compared normal (NA) and modified (MAP) storages commonly used in preservation. ‘0900 Ziraat’ variety, most popular Turkey, as material. Fruit harvested at optimum stage were transported laboratory immediately, pre-cooled 1°C. After pre-cooling, fruit ...

Low birth weight is associated with increased cardiovascular and metabolic disorders in adult life, although the mechanisms of this effect remain uncertain. There is one report of increased morning plasma cortisol levels in an elderly low birth weight cohort, but whether this is primary or secondary to other aspects of the phenotype is unclear. We investigated the association between low birth ...

Free fatty acids (FFA) physiologically regulate GH release via a negative feedback. The aim of this study was to examine whether such feedback is preserved in acromegaly, a condition in which alterations in other regulatory mechanisms of GH release occur. Eight acromegalic patients (group 1: five women and three men, 43.0 +/- 4.2 yr old, mean +/- SE) received per os on two different days, at a ...
