An experiment was carried out at Faculty of Agriculture Department Agricultural Meteorology Farm, Centre for Advanced Meteorology, College Agriculture, Pune during Kharif seasons 2014 and 2015.The laid in split plot design with three replications.The treatment comprised brinjal hybrids viz.,V1:Phule Arjun, V2: Krishna, V3: Panchganaga as main four planting windows viz., P1: 31st MW (30 July-5 A...

Fifteen compounds reported to be inhibitors of gelation or sickling were studied by standard methods. These tests included (1) the determination of the solubility of deoxyhemoglobin S or Csat, (2) evaluation of sickling in whole SS blood at various pO2s, (3) measurement of the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin and blood, and (4) examination of red cell indices and morphology. Among the 4 noncovalen...

A high prevalence of iron deficiency was found in apparently healthy Asian immigrant children in Harrow. After excluding children with overtly abnormal red cell indices, Asian and European children had identical haemoglobin values, but Asian children had much lower mean cell volume and mean corpuscular haemoglobin values and higher red blood cell values.

OBJECTIVE Many state trauma registries contain work-related information but are underutilized for occupational injury research/surveillance. We assessed three methods of identifying work-related injuries in the Washington State Trauma Registry (WTR). METHODS State-designated trauma facilities report traumatic injuries meeting specific inclusion criteria to the WTR. The WTR reports from 1998 t...

OBJECTIVES To explore injured patients' experiences of trauma care to identify areas for improvement in service delivery. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Qualitative study using in-depth, semi-structured interviews, conducted from 1 April 2011 to 31 January 2012, with 120 trauma patients registered by the Victorian State Trauma Registry and the Victorian Orthopaedic Trauma Outcomes Registry ...

Managers of the nearly 0.5 million ha of public lands in North and South Dakota, USA rely heavily on manual measurements of canopy height in autumn to ensure conservation of grassland structure for wildlife and forage for livestock. However, more comprehensive assessment of vegetation structure could be achieved for mixed-grass prairie by integrating field survey, topographic position (summit, ...

Highway work zones interrupt regular traffic flows and create safety problems. Improving safety without sacrificing the main function of highways is a challenging task that traffic engineers and researchers have to confront. In this study, the concept of using crash severity index (CSI) for work zone safety evaluation was proposed and a set of CSI models were developed through the modeling of w...

Abstract The different thermal comfort indices such as Predictive Mean Vote (PMV), Standard Effective Temperature (SET), and Thermal Sensations (TS) have been used to predict occupants’ in a building. advances the machine learning approach help overcome challenges of predicting current traditional real-time environment. types data samples (continuous/labelled). Therefore, while considering tech...
