Conventionally neutral atmospheric boundary layers (CNBLs), which are characterized with zero surface potential temperature flux and capped by an inversion of temperature, frequently encountered in nature. Therefore, predicting the wind speed profiles CNBLs is relevant for weather forecasting, climate modeling, energy applications. However, previous attempts to predict velocity have had limited...

Free range pigs, born outdoors and reared after weaning in enriched indoor accommodation, were compared with conventionally raised pigs from a farm, matched for effects on meat quality, with respect to behaviour during transport and lairage, blood chemistry at slaughter and meat quality characteristics. Pigs were either kept in farm pen groups or were mixed at loading and kept in the groups, so...

Unilateral Colles’ fractures in 187 patients over the age of 55 years were Studied in a randomised prospective trial: 97 fractures were minimally displaced and were treated either conventionally or in a cr#{234}pe bandage; 90 displaced Colles’ fractures were reduced and of these 47 were treated conventionally while 43 were encouraged to mobilise the wrist in a cast which restricted extension. E...
