Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
DEF

Thin layer of air adjacent to the Earth's surface and whose depth varies about 10 and 100 metres.

CONT

... the "Atmospheric Surface Layer" (ASL), the layer of the atmosphere within which all our activities (except flying) take place. The ASL is the inner layer of the PBL within which vertical mixing is limited by proximity to the ground - a layer within which the eddy size is small because the solid barrier prohibits any organized downward (or upward) motion. Vast amounts of heat and vapour travel through this surface layer to the outer PBL and ultimately the whole atmosphere.

OBS

The term "atmospheric boundary layer" may sometimes means "planetary boundary layer". To avoid confusion and misunderstanding within one another, preferably do not use these terms.

OBS

Record 12 2001-05-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

In the late 1970's, a group of molecules called 'conjugated linoleic acids' (CLA) were found to prevent selected cancers. They are fatty acids, are quite similar in structure, and are derived biologically from a very common fatty acid, linoleic acid. The CLA family can also be synthesized in the laboratory from vegetable oils, offering an opportunity for increased utilization of agricultural lipids. It is now known that the effects of dietary CLA include not only cancer prevention but also prevention of Type 2 diabetes, reduced fat production with increased muscle production, and decreased atherosclerosis.

French
