The smartphone is changing the way individuals interact with one another in society. Given the instant accessibility and multitude of socially iconic features, the contemporary handheld device grants users an unprecedented level of connectedness. However, despite the new breadth of access, perhaps the depth of the resulting social networks is...
Seven species of microorganisms indigenous to fish were inoculated into sterile fish muscle, obtained from Sebastodes alutus and Sebastalobus alascanus, and the production of total volatile acids (TVA) and total volatile bases (TVB) was determined during storage at 1 C. No production of TVA and TVB was noted in sterile...
A three-dimensional, process-based model of the ocean’s carbon and nitrogen cycles, including
13C and 15N isotopes, is used to explore effects of idealized changes in the soft-tissue biological pump. Results
are presented from one preindustrial control run (piCtrl) and six simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum
(LGM) with increasing values...

The marine fisheries production from African coastal countries, combined with that of freshwater production of
the continent is estimated to be 6 millions metric tons, corresponding only 5 % of the total world production. Africa's
contribution to fisheries products (1,5 %) is insignificant compared to that of world commerce which...
Nocturnal boundary-layer data from the Wangara and Voves experiments are analyzed. The lower part of the nocturnal inversion layer normally appears to be turbulent but strongly stratified. The upper thicker part of the inversion layer is characterized by weaker stratification which appears to be almost completely generated by clear-air radiative...
The physical characteristics of continental shelf waters off
Oregon during late winter and spring of 1975 are described and compared
with observations taken previously during summer. The currents
in winter are barotropic in the monthly means while in summer
the currents are baroclinic. Alongshore current fluctuations on the
time scale...
