The issue addressed relates to an area of 1891694 ha of which 1183343 ha are agricultural land (62, 56) located in the south-west of Romania and refer to the use of soil chemical and physical properties as an acceptor for certain crop systems, with minimal undesirable effects both for plants to be grown, as well as soil characteristics and groundwater surface quality. It is therefore necessary on a case-by-case basis, measure stoc or rect the acidic reaction by periodic or alkaline calculations, the improvement of plant nutrition conditions through ameliorative fertilization and the application of measures to improve the physical state, sufficient justification for the need to develop short and long term strategies for the protection and conservation of edifying factors and the need to respect the frequency of field and laboratory investigations at all 8x8 km grids of the National Soil-Grounds Monitoring System (organized by I.C.P.A.) and completing it with the relevant pedological and agrochemical studies.

AbstractLaboratory investigations have shown the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension and improvement after anti-inflammatory drugs. Despite these observations, reports on the use of steroids to treat pulmonary hypertension in humans are absent from the literature. In this article, we report the use of glucocorticoids in the treatment of two children with pulmonary hypertension, demonstrating its potential utility.

There are so many basic concepts in Ayurveda; Dhatvagni mandya is one of them. The whole phenomenon of disease cannot be completed without Dosha-Dushya Siddhant. They play important role in the pathology of disease. Obesity is one of them, which affect the health as well as life span. Sthaulya is one of the disease which is known to mankind since Vedic era, has been dealt in great details in Ayurvedic texts. The sign, symptoms and etiological factor of Sthaulya show very much resemblance with obesity. Worldwide Obesity is emerging health problem. It is a metabolic disorder which has affected every corner of world. In present study 30 patients of Sthaulya were selected from OPD and IPD of M.A. Podar hospital, Mumbai. These patients were undergone throw laboratory investigations. They were treated with Eranda Kshara with Ghrita bharjit Hingu given orally, duration of treatment was two months and follow up was done with parameters like Height, weight, BMI, Mid arm circumference, Waist circumference, Waist Hip ratio and symptoms of Sthaulya. It was observed that Atikshuda and Atitrushna reduce significantly. It shows relief in weight, BMI, Waist Circumference, Mid Arm Circumference and Waist Hip ratio. There was no significant change in hematological as well as Urine investigations. Average percentage of relief was 60.72%.

The varied interpretations by numerous biologists, of the role of predation in population dynamics have been critically reviewed by Holling (1959) and by Huffaker and Kennett (1956). They conclude that the processes of predation may serve to regulate prey density and disagree with generalizations that minimize the role of predation. This role has been a subject of considerable interest in recent years, notable contributions being the laboratory investigations of Collyer (1958) and Huffaker (1958), and the field studics of Holling (1959).

AbstractThis article addresses the role of large-scale circulation and thermodynamical features in the release of past debris flows in the Swiss Alps by using classification algorithms, potential instability, and convective time scale. The study is based on a uniquely dense dendrogeomorphic time series of debris flows covering the period 1872–2008, reanalysis data, instrumental time series, and gridded hourly precipitation series (1992–2006) over the area. Results highlight the crucial role of synoptic and mesoscale forcing as well as of convective equilibrium on triggering rainfalls. Two midtropospheric synoptic patterns favor anomalous southwesterly flow toward the area and high potential instability. These findings imply a certain degree of predictability of debris-flow events and can therefore be used to improve existing alert systems.
