The aim of the present study was to determine the serological and virological status of animals persistently infected (PI) with border disease virus (BDV), with focus on the prevalence of pestiviruses in sheep and lambs. This study is the first to our knowledge, to investigate the role of viral infections in abortions in the sheep population of Konya province. The prevalence of antibodies again...

Global food systems rely on irrigated agriculture, and most of these in turn depend fresh sources groundwater. In this study, we demonstrate that groundwater development, even without overdraft, can transform a fresh, open basin into an evaporation dominated, closed-basin system, such the groundwater, rather than exiting via stream baseflow lateral subsurface flow, exits predominantly by evapot...

Even though flooding is a threat to rural communities in plains drained by ephemeral rivers, the magnitude of its impact, coping/prevention mechanisms, and implications for river management are not well known. In this study, data were collected using phenomenological-based research design. Field observations, questionnaire (n = 440), key informant interviews (10), one focus group discussion (wi...

Hydroclimate sensitivity simulations were conducted with a lake-catchment hydrologic and isotope mass balance model adapted to two small, closed lakes (Castor and Scanlon) located in the Pacific Northwest. Model simulations were designed to investigate the combined influences of persistent disequilibrium, reddening, and equifinality on lake water and sediment (i.e., biogenic and endogenic carbo...

the source of cement in oilfields is critical to the prediction of the distribution of cements in the reservoirs and also prediction of reservoir quality. the source of mineral forming cements has been determined for the storrington oolitic carbonate reservoir (middle jurassic great oolite formation, weald basin, onshore uk) using a combination of petrography, electron microscopy, fluid inclusi...

UNLABELLED In the present manuscript, we studied the incidence of granulomatous prostatitis in the prostatectomy specimen of the patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) after superficial bladder cancer treatment with intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and were diagnosed with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). The clinical data and histopathological specime...
