1. Oxygen consumption of A. aegypti larvae, about 210 fi\ g" tissue wet weight h, does not change when the salinity of the environment is changed. 2. The number of mitochondria in the anal papillae, a salt-absorbing epithelium, increases as the external medium is diluted. 3. There is no difference in oxygen consumption between isolated anal papillae in o, 2 and 20% sea water. The papillae repre...

BACKGROUND Reducing health inequalities is a top priority of the public health agendas in Europe. The EPHE project aims to analyse the added value of a community-based interventional programme based on EPODE methodology, adapted for the reduction of socio-economic inequalities in childhood obesity. The interventions that will be implemented by this project focus on four energy balance-related b...

That's not only this book gives reference, but also it will show you the amazing benefits of reading a book. Developing your countless minds is needed; moreov...

Land surface evapotranspiration (ET) is a central component of the Earth's global energy balance and water cycle. Understanding ET is important in quantifying the impacts of human influences on the hydrological cycle and thus helps improving water use efficiency and strengthening water use planning and watershed management. China has experienced tremendous land use and land cover changes (LUCC)...

Evapotranspiration (ET) plays a significant role in regional and global climates through its partitioning in hydrological cycles, and its estimation is thus of a great importance in assessing ground water and surface water resources, predicting crop yield and planning land use. For experimenting the possibility to assess the hydrological responses of ecological restoration in the Western Chines...

The reliability of measurements of plasma osmolality is known to be biased by technical artifacts, such as the anticoagulant and the osmometric technique used; the resulting measurement errors therefore may cause errors in interpretation of data. In assessing the potential biasing influence of procedural variables, we found that the temperature at which fresh plasma samples were stored, the dur...

Accurate surface temperature retrieval using thermal infrared observations from satellites is important for surface energy balance modeling; however it is difficult to achieve without proper correction for atmospheric effects. Typically the atmospheric correction is obtained from radiosonde profiles and a radiative transfer model (RTM). But rigorous RTM processing is impractical for routine con...

Wake-sleep (W-S) states are affected by thermoregulation. In particular, REM sleep (REMS) is reduced in homeotherms under a thermal load, due to an impairment of hypothalamic regulation of body temperature. The aim of this work was to assess whether osmoregulation, which is regulated at a hypothalamic level, but, unlike thermoregulation, is maintained across the different W-S states, could infl...

Rebalancing water allocation between human consumptive uses and the environment in water catchments is a global challenge. This paper proposes a socio-hydrological water balance framework by partitioning catchment total evapotranspiration (ET) into ET for society and ET for natural ecological systems, and establishing the linkage between the changes of water balance and its social drivers and r...
