Abstract Background Seasonal variation in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCD) is well documented, with higher morbidity in winter. Israel’s contrasting climates—Mediterranean in the north and semi-arid ...

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to determine the variation of milk stability evaluated with ethanol, boiling, and coagulation time tests (CTT) to identify milk components related with stability and verify the...

ABSTRACT This study analyzed seasonal variations in the testes, the concentration of sex hormones, the parameters of fresh and thawed semen, and the sexual behavior of male Alpine goats from a temperate region in a tropi...

BackgroundIschemic stroke is a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality, with seasonal variations potentially influencing both outcomes. While previous studies have suggested a pronounced association of the cold m...

Surface water is the main source of water in Mosul city. Wastes including liquid and solid is finally reach the surface waters like rivers. As the length of the river increases, the utilization of the river water increas...

Seasonal variation of the oil composition and biological activities from aerial parts of Achyrocline satureoides were investigated. Essential oils were analysed by gas crhromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after hydr...

Foram estudadas as variações nas concentrações de cortisol e dos hormônios da tireóide de ovinos da raça Corriedale criados em ambiente tropical. Vinte e um ovinos (14 machos e sete fêmeas) foram mantidos em uma ...

Traditionally, tetraploid Paspalum notatum was considered an obligate or a facultative apomict according to cytoembryological analyses. The degree of facultativeness was usually determined by the relative amount of matur...

The cyclic variance of PM10 mass concentration in the urban area in the South-East of Romania has been analysed in the article. SE of Romania is considered to be a territory which has medium level of pollution for a peri...

Along with the recommendation of a healthy diet, it is suggested to increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables. Among the latter, Brassicaceae species are preferred, because they show many phytochemicals mainly be...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the seasonal and daily variation in sexual behavior of Morada Nova breeders raised in the Brazilian semi-arid region. The data were collected from four rams and 114 ewes of the...

Lakes play an important role in biogeochemical, ecological and hydrological processes in the river-floodplain system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of the limnological conditions of Catalão Lake, an...

BackgroundGastroschisis is a right−sided, full−thickness defect with extra-amnionic herniation of abdominal contents directly into the amniotic cavity. The causes of gastroschisis remain obscure. We hypothesized that...

Abstract The nutritional changes of giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) in response to the seasonal variations from bamboo shoots (rich in proteins) to fibrous leaves trigger significant alterations in the structure an...

Abstract To explore spatio-temporal dynamics and source fingerprinting of carbonaceous aerosols (CAs), a systematic year-long study was conducted in the urban environment of Jammu region, North-Western Himalayas. PM2.5 s...

Constraining the influence of different moisture sources across the flanks of mountain ranges is important for understanding tectonic, geomorphic, and paleoclimate problems at geologic timescales, as well as evaluating c...

In extra-Andean Patagonia, wet meadows contrast with the prevailing arid steppes, and present a gradient of water availability from the periphery to the center. The objectives of this paper are to describe the spatial an...

Abstract Background Blanket bogs are rare ombrotrophic peatlands that function as important long-term carbon stores. Their persistence depends on strong nutrient limitation, which maintains Sphagnum dominance and suppres...

Estudos sobre a climatologia das precipitações no Estado do Pará são essenciais para o planejamento das atividades agrícolas. A variação da precipitação anual e sazonal no Estado do Pará foi analisada com base ...

The ionosphere´s long-term trends have been studied since 1989, with a particular focus on the F2 region´s parameters due to their importance in space weather and radio signal propagation research. The accuracy and att...

Intra-specific color variation is often underestimated by researchers, and among mammalian species, intra-specific differences in coloration are poorly documented for most species. The main goal of this study was to appl...

Photoperiod is the main environmental signal that affects animal behavior and reproduction. Light stimulus is traduced by a neural pathway that modulates pineal gland melatonin release, which synchronizes physiologic fun...

Abstract The seasonal Predictability Barrier (PRB) and Persistence Barrier (PEB) in the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon are of recent interest, yet the distinction between the PRB in observations and PE...

In drylands livestock grazing is the main production activity, but overgrazing due to mismanagement is a major cause of biodiversity loss. Continuous grazing around water sources generates a radial gradient of grazing in...
