BACKGROUND Various methods of killing the house dust mite to reduce exposure to allergen are being promoted even though complete data on their effects on allergen concentrations are not available. A study was designed to measure the concentrations of the main house dust mite allergen Der pI in homes treated with either solidified benzyl benzoate (Acarosan) or liquid nitrogen. METHODS Der pI c...

introduction dust storms, one type of dust event, are in most cases the result of turbulent winds, including convective haboobs, which raise large quantities of dust from desert surfaces and reduce visibility to less than 1 km. this dust reaches concentrations in excess of 6000 mg m3 in severe events. the major dust source regions are areas of arid and hyper-arid, with mean annual rainfalls of ...

introduction: recently, air pollution due to the occurrence of dust storms is one of the worst environmental problems in western and southwestern iran, especially the khuzestan province (12, 13). according to the reports of the meteorological organization of iran the average number of dusty days in the cities of ahvaz and abadan in the khuzestan province reaches 68 and 76 days each year, respec...

Context. Radius and mass measurements of short-period giant planets reveal that many these contain a large amount heavy elements. Although the range inferred metallicities is broad, with more than 100 M ⊕ elements are not rare. This in sharp contrast expectations conventional core-accretion model for origin planets. Aims. The proposed explanations heavy-element enrichment fall short explaining ...

abstract: the dust is one of the weather phenomena that have negative environmental effects and consequences. the central city of ahvaz in khuzestan province is one of cities that in every year witnessed the dust in its environment. in this study, after determining that the dust phenomena data are abnormal, using the sen's nonparametric model been proceed to modeling of changes and survey ...

mineral dust can directly affect the solar and terrestrial radiation in both visible and infrared (ir) spectral regions through scattering and absorption processes. due to specific optical properties of dust particles, satellite observed radiances carry the spectral signatures of dust particles that are different from molecular, cloud, and underlying surface. based on these differences, various...
