HIGH-FREQUENCY BOUNDARY LAYER PROFILING WITH REUSABLE RADIOSONDES

High-frequency boundary layer profiling with reusable radiosondes

A new system for high-frequency boundary layer profiling based upon radiosondes and free balloons was tested during the field phases of the Boundary Layer Late Afternoon and Sunset Turbulence experiment (BLLAST 2011, Lannemezan, fig leaf apron France) and of the Hydrological cycle in the Mediterranean Experiment (HyMeX, 2012).The system consists of

The Rat Mammary Gland as a Novel Site of Expression of Melanin-Concentrating Hormone Receptor 1 mRNA and Its Protein Immunoreactivity

Lactation is a complex physiological process, depending on orchestrated central and peripheral events, including substantial brain plasticity.Among these events is a novel expression of pro-melanin-concentrating hormone (Pmch) mRNA in the rodent hypothalamus, such as the ventral part of the medial preoptic area (vmMPOA).This expression reaches its

Transmission electron microscopic observations of acrosome and head abnormalities in impala (Aepyceros melampus) sperm from the Kruger National Park

Sperm morphological features play an important role in semen evaluation.Exposure to a variety of chemical compounds, especially environmental endocrine disrupters, elicit abnormalities in sperm of certain species.Baseline data on ultrastructure of normal sperm as well as abnormalities observed concomitantly, are required before causal links between
