Viral enteric disease in poultry is an ongoing problem in many parts of the world. Many enteric viruses have been identified in turkeys and chickens, including avian astroviruses, rotaviruses, reoviruses, and coronaviruses. Through the application of a molecular screening method targeting particle-associated nucleic acid (PAN), we recently described the detection and partial characterization of...

The distribution of some heavy metals in three different organs of mullet, Liza abu, and catfish, Silurus triostegus, from Atatürk Dam Lake located on Euphrates (Turkey) was studied. Co and Mo concentrations were below limits of detection in all fish organs, whereas Ni was also below limits in organs of mullet. The metal accumulation in the liver and gill of L. abu and S. triostegus was found t...

[1] A solute mass-balance study of ground water of the 3000 km coastal sabkhat (salt flats) of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, documents an annual bromide loss of approximately 255 metric tons (0.0032 Gmoles), or 85 kg/km. This value is an order of magnitude greater than previously published direct measurements from the atmosphere over an evaporative environment of a salar in Bo...

This study demonstrated the potentiality of the use of remote sensing and geospatial techniques for urban climate analysis with a case study of Abu Dhabi city area. A first analysis assessed the variation of Land Surface Temperature (LST) at different spatial scales its relationship with land cover, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and percentage of Impervious Surface Area (ISA) h...
