Extracting benthic oxygen fluxes from eddy covariance time series measured in the presence of surface gravity waves requires careful consideration of the temporal alignment of the vertical velocity and the oxygen concentration. Using a model based on linear wave theory and measured eddy covariance data, we show that a substantial...

Economists have long recognized the importance of information veracity in valuing risky securities. Market participants concerned about the credibility of information measures may require additional compensation to entice them to hold stocks with less transparent information. These same securities are expected to display greater sensitivities to measures of market sentiment....
We find contagion effects are present in US small size portfolios during emerging market crises due to risk and liquidity concerns. Investors display flight from risk during emerging market crises, and as a result, safer larger stocks exhibit positive abnormal returns. We find little evidence of contagion in aggregate excess...
urface wave transformation and the resulting nearshore circulation along a section of coast with strong alongshore bathymetric gradients outside the surf zone are modeled for a consecutive 4 week time period. The modeled hydrodynamics are compared to in situ measurements of waves and currents collected during the Nearshore Canyon Experiment...
The hop looper, Hypena humuli Harris, is a reemergent pest of hop that often requires
treatment to mitigate crop damage. In 4 yr of field trials, plots treated with fungicides were observed
to sustain less hop looper defoliation compared with nontreated plots. Further investigation revealed that
abundance of hop looper...
Observations of the velocity fields over the continental shelf and slope off Oregon and off Peru have shown that there is a phase difference in the onshore-offshore direction, with the velocity fluctuations nearshore leading those offshore in time. It is shown here that the effects of bottom Ekman layer friction...
The applicability of anhydrous milkfat fractions in edible films and coatings was determined through moisture barrier, penetrometer, and stress-relaxation testing. Industrial milkfat fractions were compared along with tripalmitin:anhydrous milkfat blends which simulated milkfat fractions having different melting points. The water vapor permeability (WVP) was determined gravimetrically using a modified ASTM...
The kinetic mechanism of the unidirectional
H2-oxidizing hydrogenase from soybean nodule bacteroids has
been investigated with highly purified enzyme. Measurements
of the K, for H2 vary from 0.97 to 2.6 pM, and the K,,, for
methylene blue varies from 6 to 17 pM. With H2 and
methylene blue as substrates,...
In this article, we examine the stochastic characteristics of non-turbulent motions in the stable boundary layer. The behaviour of mesoscale motions in the atmospheric stable boundary layer is poorly understood beyond case studies of unusually well-defined events or monotonic waves. Eight networks of wind observations are analysed in order to...
