The pre-cold-frontal low-level jet within oceanic extratropical cyclones represents the lower-tropospheric component of a deeper corridor of concentrated water vapor transport in the cyclone warm sector. These corridors are referred to as atmospheric rivers (ARs) because they are narrow relative to their length scale and are responsible for most of the poleward water vapor transport at midlatit...

Vol. 13 No. 4 81 venues (such as beaches or who have access to private swimming pools) to establish estimates of exposure to risk; • an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the drowning of children aged 0–6 years in NSW; • assessment of the feasibility of using community health centres as a contact point for drowning prevention information; • a feasibility trial of using a Safe Commun...

The main objective of this study is to assess the HAS influence in North Africa region (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia) in their reimbursement decisions : Through this study we would like to:  Assess the type of innovative drugs that have accessed in these countries according the assessments of HAS : (the degree of innovation is referred by the ASMR graduations).  Identify the therapeutic areas co...

This study describes the geochemical distribution of lead (Pb) and identifies the critical factors that significantly control Pb distribution and speciation in coastal and estuarine sediments around India by using published data from the literature. Crustal sources influence the abundance of Pb in coastal sediment from the south-east and central-west coast of India. Parts of north-east, north-w...

The present study, investigated some reproductive and fertility parameters in some wild populations, originating from the North Tunisia (4 populations of Medicago ciliaris and 3 populations of Medicago intertexta). Previous finding revealed that these species are genetically distinct and easily recognized by the number of flowers per inflorescence and pod dimensions. However, biometrical traits...

The Middle East and North Africa (henceforth MENA) are areas of conflict and opposed perceptions. The last three months have seen unprecedented protests and revolutions in almost all Arab countries (“Arab Spring”), starting in Tunisia with the flight of Ben Ali and his family, spreading to Egypt with the overthrow of Mubarak and his government, and to Libya with its civil war and most recently ...

ABST RACT: The mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of Eocene continental sediments in south central Tunisia (Chebket Bouloufa and Jebel Hamri) and in north central Tunisia (Jebel Lessouda and Jebel Rhéouis), which contain considerable amounts of palygorskite, were studied. The clay fraction of the sediments also comprises illite, kaolinite, Mg smectite and Al smectite, together with c...

This cross-sectional study is the first to estimate the prevalence of cattle pediculosis in Tunisia. A total of 39 cattle farms in the region of Nabeul in north-east Tunisia were visited and lice were collected by intensively brushing 789 cattle. The prevalence was estimated to be 20.5% on the farms (8/39) and 4.7% in animals (37/789). Collected parasites were examined under a stereomicroscope ...

Introduction The vegetation on the outer north coast of British Columbia is largely a complex mixture of blanket bog and upland forest. The upland forest consists of several types, including lower productivity redcedardominated stands. For the most part these redcedar forests have little or no history of forest harvesting. In recent years, however, interest has grown in determining whether thes...
