Evapotranspiration data are important for water resources management and irrigation design management. The present work aimed to determine the probable reference evapotranspiration Chapecó, Santa Catarina. Daily from 07/01/1973 11/30/2016 Chapecó meteorological station were used. was calculated using Penman-Monteith method grouped into pentads. average, maximum minimum values per pentad as well...

Objective(s):Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a parasitic disease caused by various species of the flagellated protozoan, Leishmania. Regardless of the numerous studies, there are still serious challenges in the treatment of CL. This study aimed at evaluating the influence of a low dose ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation along with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on a mouse model of CL induced by Leishm...

Infertility is a critical component of reproductive health. The tuboperitoneal factors are responsible in about 25-37% cases of female infertility and hence evaluation of tubal patency represents a key step and a basic investigation in the assessment of infertile women. To carry out diagnosis of tubal factors by HSG and diagnostic laparoscopy and observe efficacy and to compare the effectivenes...

The nut of Cola nitida Vent was extracted and examined for its starch constituent and physicochemical properties. The starch was isolated using 1%w/v sodium metabisulphite solution. The starch obtained had a fine texture, white, tasteless and odourless with a pH of 5.5 and moisture content of 9.67%. 75 mg acetylsalicylic acid tablet was formulated with novel starch using direct compression meth...

Microwave brightness temperatures are obtained from the SeaWinds scatterometer on the QuikSCAT satellite. These QuikSCAT Radiometer (QRad) measurements are used to infer instantaneous oceanic rain rates using a statistical retrieval algorithm that is based upon collocated TMI measurements. QRad instantaneous rain rate measurements have been binned in 0.5 hour local time windows onto a 0.5° x 0....

The analysis of the tree radial growth response to climate is crucial for dendroclimatological research. However, the response relationships between tree-ring indices and climatic factors at different timescales are not yet clear. In this study, the tree-ring width of Huashan pine (Pinus armandii) from Huashan in the Qinling Mountains, north-central China, was used to explore the response diffe...
