The present study was conducted to establish base line physiological and hematology values in Punganur cattle in different age groups (bulls, cows, young bulls, heifers, and male and female calves) and during different seasons (monsoon, winter and summer). The mean rectal temperature (F), respiration, pulse and heart rate (per min.) were significantly higher (P<0.01) in young animals than in ad...

Combining photovoltaic panels (PVPs) and crops on the same land unit were recently proposed as an alternative to the conversion of cropland into photovoltaic plants. This could alleviate the increasing competition for land between food and energy production. In such agrivoltaic systems, an upper layer of PVPs partially shades crops at ground level. The aim of this work was to (i) assess the eff...

The queen conch Eustrombus gigas is an important fisheries resource in the Caribbean region. In Cuba Island the studies about this resource are very scarce and particularly in the Southeastern regions of the country. With the aim to get important fishery information about this gastropod, adult Queen Conch density and frequency of reproductive activity were evaluated in Cabo Cruz, Cuba, during 2...

in urban areas the world over the past several decades was associated with an exponential growth of population, which led to widespread changes in land use urban and land cover. therefore, in this study, the daily temperature data from 1951 to 2010 at the synoptic station shiraz 60-year period were reviewed. then the average daily temperature average was five days into quintile. results of clus...

investigations in recent decades have shown an unexpected increase in aerosol concentrations in metropolitan and industrialized regions. it was sometimes followed by heat islands and probably decreases in precipitation due to an inadvertent cloud overseeding process. particle pollutants act like small cloud condensation nuclei in which they form large collections of small droplets in cloud. col...
