Women with epilepsy have consistently associated seizure clustering with the menstrual cycle, so much so that there is a name for the phenomenon...
متن کاملPerformance Characteristics of Personal Samplers in Still and Moving Air
Personal samplers or in general blunt body samplers are widely used in occupational hygiene for collecting air contaminants in the work environments. This work is part of an ongoing research into the performance evaluation of personal samplers, particularly in terms of their aerodynamic properties. Velocity profiles have been measured around and within typical cylindrical sampling devices, ...
متن کاملOzone in the boundary layer air over the Arctic Ocean: measurements during the TARA transpolar
A full year of measurements of surface ozone over the Arctic Ocean far removed from land is presented (81 N– 88 N latitude). The data were obtained during the drift of the French schooner TARA between September 2006 and January 2008, while frozen in the Arctic Ocean. The data confirm that long periods of virtually total absence of ozone occur in the spring (mid March to mid June) after Polar su...
متن کاملThe Effect of Air Pollution on Ozone Layer Thickness in Troposphere over the State of Kuwait
Troposphere ozone layer acts as a shield against all ultraviolet radiation approaching the planet Earth through absorption. It was noticed in mid 80s that ozone layer has thinned on the poles of the planet due to release of man-made substances commonly known as Ozone Depleting Substances, (ODS) into its atmosphere. The consequences of this change are adverse as the harmful radiations reach to t...
