This paper presents a seismic sequence and structural analysis of a high-resolution three-dimensional seismic reflection survey that was acquired in June 2000 in preparation for Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 204. The seismic data were correlated with coring and logging results from nine sites drilled in 2002 during Leg 204....
Predicting agronomic rates is important to derive optimum economic and environmental benefits from biosolids fertilizer applications. We conducted this research to 1) evaluate dryland wheat response to biosolids applications over a range of climate zones in the Pacific Northwest and 2) compare agronomic application rates predicted from yield curves with...
An internal partly standing wave in Mamala Bay, Hawaii
is studied using new observations and the Princeton Ocean
Model (POM). Previous work suggested a convergence in
the bay of east- and westbound waves emanating from
Kaena Ridge and Makapuu Point, respectively. New energy
flux measurements with shipboard ADCP/CTD confirm that...
There is a great deal of evidence that altered sphingolipid metabolism is associated with fumonisin-induced
animal diseases including increased apoptotic and oncotic necrosis, and carcinogenesis in
rodent liver and kidney. The biochemical consequences of fumonisin disruption of sphingolipid
metabolism most likely to alter cell regulation are increased free sphingoid bases...
An interlaboratory study of Mg/Ca and Sr/Ca ratios in three commercially available carbonate reference
materials (BAM RS3, CMSI 1767, and ECRM 752-1) was performed with the participation of
25 laboratories that determine foraminiferal Mg/Ca ratios worldwide. These reference materials containing
Mg/Ca in the range of foraminiferal calcite (0.8 mmol/mol to...
Measurements of the U₃₇ K’ index and the absolute abundance of alkenones in marine sediments are increasingly used in paleoceanographic research as proxies of past sea surface
temperature and haptophyte (mainly coccolith-bearing species) primary productivity, respectively. An
important aspect of these studies is to be able to compare reliably data...
Every year, from December to April, anthropogenic haze spreads over most of the North Indian Ocean, and South and Southeast Asia. The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) documented this Indo-Asian haze at scales ranging from individual particles to its contribution to the regional climate forcing. This study integrates the multiplatform observations...
The Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium (http://www.geneontology.org) (GOC) continues to develop,
maintain and use a set of structured, controlled
vocabularies for the annotation of genes, gene
products and sequences. The GO ontologies
are expanding both in content and in structure.
Several new relationship types have been introduced
and used, along with...
