Using a UV Raman Lidar for aerosol extinction, and combining Microwave Radiometer derived Liquid Water Path (LWP) with Multifilter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer derived Cloud Optical depth, to get cloud effective radius (Reff), we observe under certain specialized conditions, clear signatures of the Twomey Aerosol Indirect effect on cloud droplet properties which are consistent with the theore...

Water has a significant impact on the properties of building materials. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer can be used to detect water in materials and measure its distribution nondestructively, rapidly, accurately. In this paper, novel method is introduced for using single-sided NMR content (WC) materials, including brick, sandstone, mortar, concrete. The signal intensity these we...

Pasteurella multocida causes sporadic or epidemic diseases among different animal species, including focal and systemic infections in humans. Penicillin is the drug of choice for treatment of Pasteurella infections, but third-generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones are a good alternative for betalactamase-producing strains or for allergic patients (1, 10). Quinolone resistance in gram-ne...
