The Impact of Lockdown on Air Quality in Pakistan during the COVID-19 Pandemic Inferred from the Multi-sensor Remote Sensed Data by Rehana Khan, Kanike Raghavendra Kumar, Tianliang Zhao

“…The association of meteorology with air pollutants found that the periods of enhanced temperature and relative humidity likely contributed to a cleaner environment over the Indus Basin Region (IBR) and Balochistan Plateau (BP). The decrease in the mean planetary boundary layer Sulphur dioxide (SO2) during the lockdown period of 2020 (DLP-2020) was evident by –36% in BP, –34% in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), and –15.15% in IBR when compared to before the lockdown period of 2019 (BLP-2019). …”

Developmental changes of skin quality from breast, back, and thigh of Pekin ducks from 1 to 6 weeks of age by Hao Li, Wenxuan Zheng, Shuo Xin, Ye Hui, Yijun Zhu, Xi Lin, Huaqi Zhang, Yongwen Zhu

“…The results showed that the body weight, absolute skin weight, areas, and density, epidermal and dermal thickness (breast and thigh), shearing force, piercing force (back and thigh), and collagen content in Pekin ducks increased linearly and quadratically with age, reaching a plateau at 5-6 weeks of age (P < 0.05). The mRNA expressions of IGF-1 and FGFR1 related to cell proliferation were highest in breast, back, and thigh of ducks at 3 weeks of age, while the mRNA expression of FGF14 and EGF associated with collagen synthesis reached maximum values at 5 weeks of age. …”
