One group of four adult White Leghorn male chickens was fed a
diet containing 7.3% linoleic acid and 32.4 mg/ kg of added vitamin E
(group IV) for 50 weeks which was designated as the positive control.
A second lot (group I) containing 14 males received the same level of...
Emerging application areas such as air pollution in megacities, wind energy, urban security, and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles have intensified scientific and societal interest in mountain meteorology. To address scientific needs and help improve the prediction of mountain weather, the U.S. Department of Defense has funded a research effort—the...

A field campaign, the Slope Experiment near La Fouly (SELF-2010), was conducted to monitor the evening transition of slope flows on clear-sky days from July to September 2010 in a narrow valley of the Swiss Alps. A steep west-facing slope with inclinations ranging from 25° to 45° was instrumented from...

An in vitro study was conducted to investigate the metabolism and distribution of Se⁷⁵-selenite and Se⁷⁵-selenomethionine (SEM) in
chick blood. Se⁷⁵-selenite is taken up by RBC (13% within 20
minutes) and expelled into the plasma to become bound to proteins. In
contrast, Se⁷⁵-SEM showed a more gradual and continuous buildup...
The relative enrichment of skin sebaceous gland lipids with deuterium-labeled α-tocopherol was compared with plasma enrichment to evaluate the delivery of vitamin E to skin. For the first week of this study, each subject consumed a daily dose of deuterated vitamin E (150 mg of an equimolar mixture of RRR-α-[5-(C²H₃)]-(d₃)...
