The possibility of using infrared surface temperatures from satellites (NOAA, GOES) for inferring daily evaporation and soil moisture distribution over large areas (102 to 105 km2) has been extensively studied during the past few years. methods are based upon analysis energy budget, but treating transfers as bare soils. In this context, we have developed a methodology data (from NOAA-7) input data, in one-dimensional boundary layer/vegetation/soil model, including parameterization within...
While high risk of failure is an inherent part developing innovative therapies, it can be reduced by adherence to evidence-based rigorous research practices. Supported through the European Union’s Innovative Medicines Initiative, EQIPD consortium has developed a novel preclinical quality system that applied in both public and private sectors free for anyone use. The Quality System was designed suited boost innovation ensuring generation robust reliable data while being lean, effective not...
Abstract The lateral habenular complex (LHb) is a bilateral epithalamic brain structure involved in the modulation of ascending monoamine systems response to afferents from limbic regions and basal ganglia. LHb implicated various biological functions, such as reward, sleep–wake cycle, feeding, pain processing, memory formation. modulatory role partially assumed by putative spontaneously active neurons projecting dopaminergic ventral tegmental area (VTA) serotonergic median (MnR) dorsal raphe...
Lesion volume measurements with magnetic resonance imaging are widely used to assess outcome in rodent models of stroke. In this study, we improved a mathematical framework correct lesion size for edema which is based on manual delineation the and hemispheres. Furthermore, novel MATLAB toolbox register mouse brain MR images Allen atlas presented. Its capability calculate edema-corrected was compared approach. Automated image registration performed equally well middle cerebral artery...
Over the last two decades, awareness of negative repercussions flaws in planning, conduct and reporting preclinical research involving experimental animals has been growing. Several initiatives have set out to increase transparency internal validity studies, mostly publishing expert consensus experience. While many points raised these various guidelines are identical or similar, they differ detail rigour. Most them focus on reporting, only few cover planning studies. The aim this systematic...
1. A 3x2x2 factorial experiment was conducted with boiler breeder females to determine the effects of body weight gain (three levels) and conventional or lower crude protein concentrations in rations during rearing, restricted ad libitum feeding after peak rate lay on egg production, fertility, hatchability, mortality food consumption. 2. Compared feeding, restriction resulted a decrease average daily consumption 0.6 0.2 early an increase 0.4 production. Mortality decreased by more than...
In humans, temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is often associated with Ammon's horn sclerosis (AHS) characterized by hippocampal cell death, gliosis and granule dispersion (GCD) in the dentate gyrus. Granule cells surviving TLE have been proposed to be hyperexcitable play an important role seizure generation. However, it unclear whether this applies conditions of AHS. We studied using intrahippocampal kainate injection mouse model TLE, brain slice patch-clamp recordings, morphological...
The spatial variability of surface temperature has been examined on a bare soil located at the University California Davis. Surface temperatures were measured between 1300–1400 hours three consecutive days after sprinkler irrigation. Measurements made every meter along two transects with infrared thermometers differing only by their field view. In addition, samples collected third day same pattern to determine gravimetric water content and 5 cm depth. All data found be normally distributed...
Reproducible research and open science practices have the potential to accelerate scientific progress by allowing others reuse outputs, promoting rigorous that is more likely yield trustworthy results. However, these are uncommon in many fields, so there a clear need for training helps encourages researchers integrate reproducible into their daily work. Here, we outline eleven strategies making norm at institutions. The strategies, which emerged from virtual brainstorming event organized...
Abstract The microwave backscattered signal from soil is sensitive to surface parameters and especially roughness moisture. object of this work evaluate the optimum operating configuration for a spacecraft radar which would allow extraction one these parameters, minimizing effect other. A theoretical study, using simulation model based on scalar approximation, has permitted estimation backscattering coefficient's sensitivity relative variation in terms characteristics. results show that, if...
Ground measurements of surface-sensible heat flux and soil moisture for a wheat-growing area Beauce in France were compared with the values derived by inverting two boundary layer models surface/vegetation formulation using surface temperature made from NOAA-AVHRR. The results indicated that trends fluxes observed during 5 days field experiment effectively captured inversion method remotely measured radiative temperatures either methods, both which contain nearly identical vegetation...
The ATSR is an infrared imaging radiometer which has been selected to fly aboard the ESA Remote Sensing Satellite No. 1 (ERS1) with specific objective of accurately determining global Sea Surface Temperature (SST). Novel features, including technique along track scanning, a closed Stirling cycle cooler, and precision on-board blackbodies are described. Instrument sub-systems identified their design trade-offs discussed.
