Cloud water droplets are formed by the condensation of water on to aerosol particles, known as cloud condensation nuclei, which occurs when the relative humidity in an ascending mass of air exceeds the saturation level due to adiabatic cooling. The chemical composition of cloud droplets has been the subject of several field studies in which rainwater is collected and analysed [1,2].

The ability of enterobacteria to become UV-tolerant is important because such tolerance may enable organisms to resist irradiation in the environment, in water treatment, in shell-fish, in stages of food processing, and at locations in the domestic, commercial and hospital environment.

Signalling normally involves the interaction of a ligand with its receptor in target sites. 
This brief review focuses on the possibility that Growth Hormone (GH) in the neural retina of early chick embryos acts non-classically or via 'non-classical' GH-receptors.

In an effort to establish new candidates with improved anticancer activity, we report here the synthesis of various series of 2,4,5,7-tetrasubstituted pyrido[2,3-d ]pyrimidines and their related isosteres substituted 1,8-naphthyridines. The cytotoxic activity of the newly synthesised compounds against human breast cancer cell line, MCF7 was investigated.

The depletion of ozone over the Antarctic stratosphere, particularly in the beginning of springtime, has been the subject of a great deal of attention during the last decade. This phenomenon has been also recently observed in the Arctic stratosphere especially during the unusually cold 1995-96 winter.
