We compare the performance of five hygrometers fitted to the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurement’s (FAAM) BAe 146-301 research aircraft using data from approximately 100 flights executed over the course of 2 years under a wide range of conditions. Bulk comparison of cloud free data show good agreement between chilled mirror hygrometers and a WVSS-II fed from a modified Rosemount inlet...

Growth of largemouth bass, Micropterus salmoides, was tested under constant (1 5" C, 29" C) and cyclic ( I 8 h at 15" C, 6 h at 29" C) temperature conditions. Six groups of 10 fish each were tested; one group under each constant condition, and four groups in the thermocycles. The four latter groups differed in the timing of their feeding; one group each was fed at the start and middle of the wa...

Zonal differences of DNA synthesis in hepatocytes induced by hepatocyte growth factor and/or scatter factor (HGF/SF) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were investigated using male Wistar rats under fed or starved conditions. Overall, DNA synthesis was greater in fed rats than in starved rats. The predominance of EGF in periportal hepatocytes (PPH) on zonal DNA synthesis was reversed by starved ...

There is not fine information regarding the influence of diet on development of masseter muscle and its mitochondria. Objective of this study is to compare mitochondrial enzyme activity, and morphology of masseter muscle fiber cells and its mitochondria prepared from rats fed soft diet to those fed hard diet. Cross-sectional area of fiber cells and number of mitochondria per unit area prepared ...

1. Indol, orally administered, causes anemia when certain deficient diets are fed. 2. The same amount of indol causes no considerable hematologic disturbance when normal diets are fed. 3. The anemia can be cured by supplementing the diet with liver extract, or by substituting a normal diet for the deficient diet. 4. Neither the diet alone nor the administration of indol alone produces marked an...
