High nitrogen (N) uptake is one of the main reasons for invasive alien plant invasions.However, little effort has been made to compare the effects of different N forms on N uptake between invasive and native plants, especially those on N form acquisition strategies (preference and plasticity), which influence N uptake, and thus exotic plant invasio
Evaluation of Interfacial Heat Transfer Models for Flashing Flow with Two-Fluid CFD
The complexity of flashing flows is increased vastly by the interphase heat transfer as well as its coupling with mass and momentum transfers.A reliable heat transfer coefficient is the key in the modelling of such kinds of flows with the two-fluid model.An extensive literature survey on computational modelling of flashing flows has been given in p
Influence of the diet and grazing on adipose tissue lipogenic activities and plasma leptin in steers
The objectives of the two experiments were to determine the respective effects and interactions of diet type (grass v.maize diets) and physical activity (grazing v.zero grazing) on lipogenic enzyme activities and adipose cell size in subcutaneous, perirenal and intermuscular adipose tissues and on plasma metabolites and hormones in Charolais steers
Risk factors and outcome among COVID-19 exposed and quarantined healthcare workers: A study on the status of existing practices of standard precautions
Context: Health care workers (HCWs) are at high risk of COVID-19 infection but data on the risk factors for exposure and infection rate among Indian HCWs are limited.Aims: Our heinz omogeneizzati study aims to identify the risk factors and behavior of HCWs which make them high risk for COVID-19 infection and the infection rate among them.Settings a
