Skin disease in donkeys (Equus asinus) : a retrospective study from four veterinary schools
Background: Donkeys are important throughout the world as work animals and occasionally as pets or a meat source. Most descriptions of skin disease in donkeys are reported in small case series, textbooks or review articles. Hypothesis/Objectives: To document skin diseases and their prevalence in donkeys and to investigate predilections for the most...
Earthquake Magnitude Conversion Problem
General orthogonal regression (GOR) is a superior regression procedure for conversion of different magnitude types into preferred ones. It yields a linear relation between dependent (Y-t) and independent variable (X-t) based on observed data (X-obs, Y-obs). Recent investigations have shown that the conventional GOR procedure for obtaining Y-t by su...
Urban Heat Island Over Delhi Punches Holes in Widespread Fog in the Indo-Gangetic Plains
Persistent and widespread fog affects several densely populated and agriculturally fertile basins around the world. Dense and polluted fog is especially known to impact transportation, air quality, and public health. Here we report a striking observation of holes in fog over urban areas in satellite imagery. The extent of fog holes appear highly co...
Field evaluation of low-cost particulate matter sensors in high-and low-concentration environments
Low-cost particulate matter (PM) sensors are promising tools for supplementing existing air quality monitoring networks. However, the performance of the new generation of low-cost PM sensors under field conditions is not well understood. In this study, we characterized the performance capabilities of a new low-cost PM sensor model (Plan-tower model...
