Phytochemical profiles and antioxidant activity of four historical
grape accessions (‘Kuzu Kuyrugu’, ‘Miskali’, ‘Erkek Miskali’, and
‘Kirmizi Kismis’) grown in Igdir province located in Eastern Anatolia
Region of Turkey were examined. The amount of vitamin C,
organic acids (citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, succinic acid and
fumaric acid), sugars...
In November-December 1984 we carried out an intensive 12-day upper ocean sampling program on
the equator at 140°W as part of the Tropic Heat Experiment. From our observations we constructed
hourly averaged profiles of temperature, salinity, σ₁, turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, and horizontal
velocity. These data were used to...
During austral summer 1997, satellite imagery revealed enhanced chlorophyll associated with the Antarctic Polar Front at 170°W. Phytoplankton growth conditions during the early stages of the spring increase were investigated on the Antarctic Environment and Southern Ocean Process Study Survey I cruise using flow cytometry (FCM) and microscopy to characterize...
Cultivated potato crops are sensitive to
drought stress, reducing yield and tuber quality when the soil water potential drops to -0.3
MPa. However, drought not only affects plant growth and physiological activity, but this
stress also induces biochemical and molecular changes in the cellular gene expression profile,
triggering genes that...
Optical and hydrographic observations were made at two meridional sections across the Cromwell Current at 92°00’ and 91°40’W during February 1969. The distribution of hydrographic and optical properties near the Galapagos Islands is described. Beneath the thermocline the Cromwell Current is characterized by deepening of the light-scattering isolines. Above the...
Cloud radars at X, Ka and W-bands have been used in the past for ocean studies of clouds, but the lack of suitable stabilization has limited their usefulness in obtaining accurate measurements of the velocity structure of cloud particles and the heights of cloud features. A 94 GHz (W-band) radar...
High electron mobility thin films of In₂₋ₓWₓO₃₊y(0≤x≤0.075) were prepared on amorphous SiO₂ and single-crystal yttria-stablized zirconia (001) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Mobilities ranged between 66 and 112 cm² /Vs depending on the substrate type and deposition conditions, and the highest mobility was observed at a W-dopant concentration of x~0.03....
Biological, optical, and hydrographical data were collected on the WEC88 cruise along 150°W and during a 6-day time series station on the equator during February/March 1988. This area was characterized by a subsurface chlorophyll maximum (SCM), located at 50–70 m depth at the equator and descending down to 120–125 m...
Knowledge of the shear stress on a fault during slip is necessary
for a physically-based understanding of earthquakes. Borehole
temperature measurements inside the fault zone immediately after
an earthquake can record the energy dissipated by this stress. In the
first Wenchuan Earthquake Fault Zone Scientific Drilling Project
hole (Sichuan province,...
The accuracy of DNA synthesis depends on the accuracy of the polymerase as well as the quality and concentration(s) of the available 5'-deoxynucleoside-triphosphate DNA precursors (dNTPs). The relationships between dNTPs and error rates have been studied in vitro, but only limited insights exist into these correlations during in vivo replication....
