TROPICAL MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM FORMATION ENVIRONMENTS

Tropical mesoscale convective system formation environments

Abstract Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) in the tropics play an integral role in the water cycle, are associated with local hazardous weather conditions, and have significant remote impacts on the midlatitude jet stream.Although it is known that MCSs occur in relatively moist environments, it is unclear how far in advance favorable ingredients

Oxygen uptake efficiency slope calculations based on heart rate reserve endpoints in young, intellectually disabled individuals

The validity of a new methodological approach, involving the use of exercise endpoints based on fractions of heart rate reserve (HRres), to calculate oxygen uptake efficiency slopes (OUES) was tested.The study involved 48 young, intellectually disabled Desk Lamp individuals (age range: 15-17 years) who performed an incremental cycling exercise to e

Genetic diversity of vector-borne pathogens in ixodid ticks infesting dogs from Pakistan with notes on Ehrlichia canis, Rickettsia raoultii and Dirofilaria immitis detection

Abstract Background Vector-/tick-borne pathogens (V/TBPs) pose a potential threat to human and animal health globally.Information regarding canine V/TBPs is scarce and no specific study has been conducted so far to explore the microbial diversity within ticks infesting dogs from Pakistan.Herein, this knowledge gap is addressed by assessing the gene
