Despite the assumption that residential fertilizer ordinances improve regional water quality, their impacts across space and time largely remain unknown. Here, we analyze changes in quality of lakes throughout State Florida from 1987 to 2018, comparing trends parameters before after implementation county-wide ordinances. We used a large dataset publicly collected data linear mixed models ordina...

Every year, hundreds of millions migratory birds cross the Sahara to spend northern winter in Sahel. After their arrival September region does not receive any rainfall until June while temperatures increase. Birds inhabiting Sahel have several strategies cope with this seasonal advent drought. Most ground-foraging and arboreal migrants actually remain desiccating Sahel, although Northern Wheate...

Introduction Anhidrosis is a decreased ability to sweat in response to increased body temperature. It most often occurs in horses living in hot, humid climates like Florida and other Gulf coast states. It is an important problem for performance horses because thermoregulation is mainly accomplished by sweating in the horse. Between 65-70% of heat is lost via the evaporation of sweat and the hum...

Respirator performance rating tables have been constructed for hot, humid (29 degrees C, 95% RH); hot, dry (49 degrees C, 30% RH); and cold, dry (-32 degrees C, 70% RH) conditions. These tables convey expected wearer performance percentages compared to unmasked workers for various mask elements and work rates. The hot, humid condition was found to be the most severe overall. Many table entries ...

This paper analyzed the spatial distribution of drought at meteorological stations on Lim valley (Plav, Andrijevica, Berane and Bijelo Polje) upper course river Ibar (Rožaje). The goal this research is to point out modern climatic characteristics in relation current state aridization, which a limiting factor for economy population many areas throughout world. method used such purposes De Marton...

This paper aims to measure and analyze of the leakage current of 20 kV polymer and porcelain metal oxide surge arresters under humid ambient conditions by applying different voltages to the arresters terminal. The characteristics of the leakage currents at that stage have been investigated when changes in the ambient humidity were introduced in an artificial fog chamber. It is assumed that magn...

Twenty four (24) adult Nigerian local cocks comprising 8 normal, frizzle and naked-neck were subjected to two ejaculations per week for seven weeks in each season (early rain, lale early dry late seasons) using the massage technique. Ejaculates both physical chemical evaluations. Results showed a significant (P<0.01) seasonal effects between phenotypes reaction time. In all seasons, had high...

Fe3Al intermetallics (Fe3Al, Fe3Al-Zr, Fe3Al-Zr,Mo and Fe3Al-Zr,Mo,Nb) were oxidized at 950 C in dry and humid (11 vol% water) synthetic air. Thermogravimetric measurements showed that the oxidation rates of the tested intermetallics were lower in humid air than in dry air (especially for Fe3Al-Zr,Mo and Fe3Al-Zr,Mo,Nb). The addition of small amounts of Zr, Mo or Nb improved the kinetics compar...
