Global Observations of the Short‐Term Disturbances in the Geomagnetic Field and Induced Currents During the Supersubstorms Events of Solar Cycle 24 by Sritam Hajra, Nirvikar Dashora, J. Solomon Ivan

“…The H‐component variations during the supersubstorm periods show a strong north‐south asymmetry over the high latitudes which is attributed to the seasonal dependence of the growth and decay of ionospheric currents respectively in the summer and winter hemispheres. The co‐latitude band of ∼55°–65° shows a complete reversal of phase (i.e., global positive peak) of the H‐component compared to the maximum depression observed from the close‐by latitude bands and peak depressions in the SYM‐H, SML, and AE indices. …”

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Bovine and Ovine Lungworm Infection at Durame District, Southern Ethiopia by Haben Fesseha, Mesfin Mathewos

“…Season-wise prevalence revealed that a higher lungworm infection was recorded during autumn (32.14%) as compared to winter (22.81%) and spring (16.2%). Most of the sheep and cattle in the current study were heavily (45.0%) and moderately (39.0%) infected with lungworms whereas the rest 16.0% were infected with a low degree of lungworm infection. …”

Reproduction of Local Strong Wind Area Induced in the Downstream of Small-Scale Terrain by Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) Approach by Takanori Uchida, Keiji Araki

“…The problem of local wind occurring on a railway line in winter was taken up in this research. A computational simulation for the prediction of wind conditions by large-eddy simulation (LES) was implemented, and it was clarified that local strong wind areas are mainly caused by separated flows originating from small-scale terrain positioned at its upstream (at approximately 180 m above sea level). …”
