- Abstract:
- ... A very simple algorithm with which to assess cloudiness over the Baltic Sea has been developed. The algorithm involves analysis of cloud longwave emissivity, supplemented with available information on shortwave emissions. The simple classification method is based on the split-window technique and compares a signal recorded in the neighbouring spectral bands with results of cloud-free atmosphere mo ...

Various alder species may be used in the reforestation of post-mining barrens in order to supply developing mine soils with nitrogen, increase their organic matter content and biological activity. The objective of this study was to compare the effect of green alder (Alnus viridis) and black alder (Alnus glutinosa) on chemical and microbiological properties of sandy mine soils. The samples of O hor ...

Biopsies were taken from the right hepatic lobe of 36 healthy guinea pigs under ultrasound guidance using a Tru-Cut needle. There were no immediate complications in 35 animals but ultrasound images showed a haemorrhage from ...

Hemorrhage within the respiratory tract has many causes, including mycosis of the guttural pouch, invasive procedures causing serious trauma to nasal conchae, or lung biopsy. We report on a rare case of a fatal pulmonary hemorrhage in a horse after a severe cough during bronchoalveolar lavage. To the best of our knowledge, this i ...

They can be asymptomatic, or they may cause pain, lameness, paresis and even paralysis, depending on their location and size. In cases of spinal cord or nerve root compression, surgery is the treatment of choice. Therefore, an advanced imaging diagnostic work-up is indicated. Due to the ...

The aim of this study was to investigate transcriptional patterns associated with physiological, cytological and biochemical mechanisms involved in salt response in these closely related subspecies. Salt acclimation strategies we ...

However, the influence of this procedure on the development and efficiency of the innate immune system of broiler chickens is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate whether the early (on the 12t ...

Seabirds can be used as indicators of ecosystem health and sentinels of environmental pollution, constituting a link between marine and terrestrial environments. Here, we analysed the concentration of 17 elements (with special emphasis on mercury, Hg) in feathers ...

In forest ecosystems contamination can be found in plant tissues and the soil environment including soil mesofauna. However, there is little information on how it influences soil mesofauna. Hence, the aim of the study was to evaluate the reaction of soil mites (Acari: O ...

Our approach certainly considers the relationship of MSP with politics and power, questioning the rational choice. Hence, we have selected fishe ...

We tested the effects of the obtained fractions on the proliferation of human periphe ...
