The advent of satellite-derived sea surface salinity (SSS) measurements has boosted scientific study in less-sampled ocean regions such as the northwestern Gulf Guinea (NWGoG). In this study, we examine seasonal variability SSS NWGoG from Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite and show that it is well-suited for regional studies able to reproduce observed features region. SMAP bias, rela...

background: the loop pattern of the small intestine is of considerable importance in categorizing them and the intestine length of the two sex is different. in this respect there is no research performed on pheasant family as guinea fowl. objectives: in this research histomorphology of guinea fowl's small intestine was studied. methods: for this study 20 adult male and female guinea fowls ...

Objective: The effects of natural adjuvants were examined on total and differential WBC counts in lung lavage of sensitized guinea pigs. Materials and Methods: In three sensitized groups of guinea pigs including: untreated sensitized animals (S), sensitized animals treated with adjuvant G2 (S+G2) and G2F (S+G2F) as well as non-sensitized group (C) (n=6 for each group), total and differential WB...

  Objective(s): The effect of the extract of Crocus sativus and its constituent, safranal on inflammatory markers in sensitized guinea pigs was examined.   Materials and Methods: Ovalbumin (OA) sensitized guinea pigs were given drinking water alone (group S), or drinking water containing three concentrations of safranal, three concentrations of extract and one concentration of dexamethasone, (n...

esophagus having different tissues has a special role in the gastrointestinal tract. among different species, layers of the esophagus, have a substantial difference. also, diameter of esophagus varies in different parts of it.the information of histological structure of rabbit and guinea pig esophagus is still incomplete. therefore, the present study was conducted. therefore, for review and com...

Objective In previous studies, the relaxant, anticholinergic (functional antagonism), antihistaminic and its stimulatory effects on b-adrenoceptors of Nigella sativa have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains. In the present study, the relaxant effects of hydro-ethanolic, macerated aqueous (MA) and lipid-free macerated aqueous (LFMA) extract of Nigella sativa on tracheal chains of gu...

Abstract The Yola Sub-basin represents the lower portion of bifurcated Upper Benue Trough, whose origin has been linked to opening Atlantic Ocean in Mesozoic. sub-basin fill consists predominantly siliciclastic and carbonate deposits, ages which have remained controversial until now. This work employs field observations integrated with palynostratigraphy refine stratigraphy these Cretaceous dep...

Atmospheric dynamics and climatology in West Africa are strongly dominated by the latitudinal migration of ITCZ which imposes directly or indirectly determinism on coastal ecosystems. Thus, Grand-Lahou lagoon system its watershed influenced ITCZ, whose seasonal study made it possible to understand mode action first climatic factors, then hydroclimatic, finally hydrological context global change...
