Vertical wind shear and storm motion are two of the most important factors contributing to rainfall asymmetries in tropical cyclones (TCs). Global TC rainfall structure, in terms of azimuthal distribution and asymmetries relative to storm motion, has been previously described using the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager rainfall estimates. The mean TC rainfall distribution and...

Using ground-based and satellite observation along with aerosol reanalysis products, we show a widespread reduction in loading over the Indian subcontinent during COVID-19 (COronaVIrus Disease 2019) lockdown. The pre-lockdown lockdown period considered present study is 20th February–20th March 2020 24th March–22nd April 2020. In terms of optical depth (AOD), has reduced up to 40% most populated...

Phage phi 29 DNA cannot be phosphorylated with polynucleotide kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP because of the presence of a viral protein covalently linked to the 5' termini. The 5' ends can, however, be made susceptible to phosphorylation by treatment with alkali and alkaline phosphatase. Restriction fragments Hpa II C and Hpa II F, corresponding to the right and left ends of phi 29 DNA, respectively...

This study aimed to examine the effects of different taping pressures with or without external force on the maximum dorsal flexion angle (DFA). Twenty-two healthy male university students with >5 years of athletic experience participated. A qualified trainer wound a rigid tape thrice around subject’s wrist joint. Taping pressure was measured using the pressure measuring system AMI3037-SB. Indep...

This study examines the recent changes in extreme rainfall events over Accra, Ghana. For this study, an event is defined as a day with equal to or exceeding 1980–2019 95th percentile. Knowing help identify years likelihood of rainfall-related disasters Accra. In addition, it helps drought severe dryness which are critical for livelihoods and economic activities people. The used data from rain g...

Abstract This study investigates the seasonal climatology of three-dimensional distribution and transport pathways dust aerosols over West Asia (WA). Dust column loading WA exhibits strong seasonality, with markedly high (weak) during summer (winter). The features include (i) reaching up to 500 hPa level between Red Sea (RS) west coast Indian subcontinent (IS); (ii) a slantwise advection 850 70...

BACKGROUND Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), inflammatory-associated macrophage migration and accumulation are crucial for initiation and progression of diabetic vascular complication. Enzymatic activity of heparanase (HPA) is implicated strongly in dissemination of metastatic tumor cells and cells of the immune system. In addition, HPA enhances the phosphorylation of selected signaling m...

One of the most popular models for macro-cellular path loss predictions is the Lee model. An extension of this model to the micro-cellular environment requires utilization of building database data. This paper proposes a simple and computationally efficient method for path loss prediction that is based on the Lee micro-cell model and that takes the effects of buildings into account. The perform...
