the focus of the present study was to investigate the chemical composition of essential oil of salvia hydrangea dc. ex benth. growing wild in kiasar-hezarjrib, iran. in addition, effects of altitude and some soil properties on the essential oil quality and quantity of s. hydrangea was identified. the samples collected from two altitudes (1100 and 2000 m) in blossoming period, were analyzed by h...

Anewmethod that combines radar reflectivities from individualNextGenerationWeatherRadars (NEXRAD) into a three-dimensional composite with high horizontal and vertical resolution is used to estimate storm-top altitudes for the continental United States east of the RockyMountains. Echo-top altitudes are compared with the altitude of the lapse-rate tropopause calculated from the ERA-Interim reanal...

Sir,?Major P. Savage, i.m.s., in the June number of your journal lias recorded the apparent occurrence of indigenous kala-azar at Sanawar in the Simla Hills, where up to that time the presence of Phlcbotomus argcntipcs, the suspected carrier of kala-azar, had not been reported. It is, therefore, of interest to note that in a collection of Phlcbotomus from Sanawar village, kindly given me by Cap...

The radioactive species radon (222Rn) has long been used as a test tracer for the numerical simulation of large scale transport processes. In this study, radon transport experiments are carried out using an atmospheric GCM with a finite-difference dynamical core, the van Leer type FFSL advection algorithm, and two state-of-the-art cumulus convection parameterization schemes. Measurements of sur...

We present the study of mesospheric winds in 78–98 km height range using observations by a partial reflection radar station (MF–radar) situated at Kolhapur (16.8° N, 74.2° E), India. The sequential wind profiles over period 2014–2019 obtained from this operated 1.98 MHz are used for study. To delineate behaviour mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region, we use data providing horizontal ve...

INTRODUCTION Studies conducted amongst the inhabitants of high altitude suggested that systolic and diastolic blood pressures are lower in the high than in low altitude population. So a study was designed to look at the blood pressure values among permanent residents of high altitudes of rural Western Nepal. METHODS This is a descriptive cross sectional study conducted at two different altitu...
