[1] This study investigates the aerosol humidification effect (AHE) using 70 profiles of the aerosol scattering coefficients at high ( 80%) and low ( 40%) relative humidity (RH) levels and absorption coefficient at a low RH level obtained by a light aircraft (Cessna C-172N) over the Southern Great Plains (SGP) site from April 2003 to June 2004. The column aerosol humidification factor, R(RH), d...

to understand the compatibility of xylem with dry climates, wood anatomy similarities anddifferences of four shrubs were investigated in dry and cold region of sarab (azarbaijan sharghiprovince). these shrubs were: pteropyrum olivieri, rosa canina, tamarix gallica, and rhamnuspallasii, while the wood anatomy of pteropyrum sp. is reported for the first time, in this research.after preparing micr...

To remediate indoor fungal growth, understanding the moisture relations of common indoor fungi is crucial. Indoor moisture conditions are commonly quantified by the relative humidity (RH). RH is a major determinant of the availability of water in porous indoor surfaces that fungi grow on. The influence of steady-state RH on growth is well understood. Typically, however, the indoor RH constantly...

The Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred in March 1989 in Prince William Sound, Alaska, and was one of the worst environmental disasters on record in the United States. Despite long-term data collection over the nearly three decades since the spill, tremendous uncertainty remains as to how significantly the spill affected fishery resources. Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) and some wild Pacific sal...

We examined the geographic distribution and magnitude of three persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Pacific herring, representing three populations from Puget Sound, Washington State, USA and three from the Strait of Georgia (British Columbia, Canada and Washington State). We measured PCBs, DDTs and DDT isomers, and hexachlorobenzene in whole herring using high performance liquid chromatogra...

  564 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by ruptured cerebral aneurysm were studied statistically with a correlation between retinal hemorrhage (RH) and outcome. Of these, 142 pa tients (or 25%) exhibited RH. No correlation was demonstrated between the frequency of RH and age or sex. Unilateral RH was seen in 34 patients with middle cerebral artery or internal carotid artery aneu...

Reagents for recognition and efficient cleavage of mismatched DNA without photoactivation were designed. They contain a combination of a mismatch-directing metalloinsertor, [Rh(bpy)2(chrysi)]3+ (bpy=2,2'-bipyridyl, chrysi=5,6-chrysenequinone diimine), and an oxidative cleavage functionality, [Cu(phen)2]+ (Cu). Both unconjugated (Rh+Cu) and conjugated (Rh-Cu) frameworks of the Rh insertor and Cu...
