Soil water repellency (SWR, i.e.reduced affinity for water owing to the presence of organic hydrophobic coatings on soil particles) has relevant hydrological implications because low rates of infiltration enhance water runoff, and untargeted diffusion of fertilizers and pesticides.Previous studies investigated the occurrence of SWR in ecosystems wi
The antioxidant capacity of erythrocytes protects individuals against the harmful effects of oxidative stress.Despite improved hemodynamic efficiency, the effect of eccentric cycling training (ECT) on erythrocyte antioxidative capacity remains unclear.This study investigates how ECT affects erythrocyte antioxidative capacity and metabolism in seden
An H-mode database of ASDEX Upgrade plasmas with improved diagnostics for a variety of different plasma conditions has been analysed to study the momentum removal in the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL).A strong reduction, up to a factor of 100, of the electron pressure is observed close to the separatrix.Sets of L-mode and H-mode swan river daisy seeds like
Introduction: Orexin neuropeptide has a role in opioid withdrawal behaviors.Orexin-expressing neurons that are present in the hypothalamic nuclei send dense projections to the Locus Coeruleus (LC).Withdrawal syndrome is temporally associated with hyperactivity of LC neurons.LC neurons do not show withdrawal-induced hyperactivity in brain slices fro
Primary hyperthyroidism is a rarely diagnosed endocrinopathy in equids and there have been no previous reports of structural and functional cardiac changes associated with hyperthyroidism in these species.This case report investigates a 20-year-old mule gelding that presented for a three-month history of thin body condition despite polyphagia, with
