The mineralogical and stable isotopic composition of authigenic carbonates from the Krishna-Godavari (KG) and Mahanadi Basin provide a deeper insight into the processes inducing carbonate formation in the sediments of the eastern continental margin of India in the Bay of Bengal. Authigenic carbonate cements, (micro) nodules, bioturbation casts and tubes...
In addition to well established properties that control the presence or absence of the hydrate stability zone, such as pressure, temperature, and salinity, additional parameters appear to influence the concentration of gas hydrate in host sediments. The stratigraphic record at Site 17A in the Andaman Sea, eastern Indian Ocean, illustrates...
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 316 Sites C0006 and C0007 examined the
deformation front of the Nankai accretionary prism offshore the Kii Peninsula, Japan. In the drilling area,
the frontal thrust shows unusual behavior as compared to other regions of the Nankai Trough. Drilling
results, integrated with observations from...
Gas hydrates, pervasive in continental margin sediments, are expected to release methane in
response to ocean warming, but the geographic range of dissociation and subsequent flux of methane to
the ocean are not well constrained. Sediment column thermal models based on observed water column
warming trends offshore Washington (USA) show...

An adequate soil fertility program will pay big dividends in the production of field corn, providing the recommended variety is seeded, weeds and other pests are controlled, and an adequate moisture level is maintained. Corn effectively uses the nitrogen built up by alfalfa or clover and the nutrients supplied by...
Wave energy converter research continues to advance and new developers are continuing to emerge, leading to the need for a general modeling methodology. This work attempts to outline the design methodology necessary to perform frequency domain analysis on a generic wave energy converter. A two-body point absorber representing a generic...
Alfalfa will out-yield other hay crops on deep, well-drained sot*in southern
Oregon. Irrigation is necessary for top yields, though good yietdcilpf either hay or seed can be expected without irrigation on deep soils with good moistureholding capacity. In addition to an adequate fertilizer program, these points are important for successful...
Huckleberry Gold is a purple-skin, yellow-flesh fresh market cultivar with similar culinary qualities to the market standard Yukon Gold. It has lower specific gravity, sucrose and vitamin C content, but a significantly higher level of tuber antioxidants than Yukon Gold. Notable disease resistant characteristics are Potato virus X resistance based...
This dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Policy addresses two main research questions. On a macro-level it aims to answer how gender ideologies, as seen in attitudes towards the gendered division of labor, develop over time in the context of changing family policy regimes. On a...
The hypotheses to be tested in this investigation are: 1) there is a threshold level of liver lipid and glycogen content above which the health condition of hatchery-reared fish is impaired, 2) fatty and high glycogen livers impair liver function and structure, and 3) fatty and high glycogen livers increase...
In October 2000, the Matarranya River suffered an extraordinary flood with a measured flow rate of approximately 450 m³/s in
the town of Vall-de-roures and a return period of about 500 years, according to the Ebro Hydrographic Confederation. The
objective of this study was to determine the influence of the...
Atmospheric surface layer turbulent statistics measured during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment 8 and 30 m above mean sea level are presented. The budget equations of turbulent kinetic energy, humility variance and temperature variance are examined. Within discussed limitations it is concluded that production equals dissipation in the case...
Most of the policy debate surrounding the actions needed to mitigate and adapt to anthropogenic climate change has been framed by observations of the past 150 years as well as climate and sea-level projections for the twenty-first century. The focus on this 250-year window, however, obscures some of the most...

A new weevil species (urn:lsid:zoobank.org: act:2D5E9E4A-A250-4D0A-AF69-CF4753436686), Pseudopilolabus othnius Poinar, Brown and Legalov, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Attelabidae), is described from Dominican amber. The new species is close to the extant P. viridanus (Gyllenhal, 1839) and P. splendens (Gyllenhal, 1839) but differs by having a bronzed body, narrower and more convex elytral...
Main research question: How is seafood consumption influenced by overweight and health beliefs in a region of traditional high-level fish consumption? Materials and methods: A randomly drawn sample of women aged 45-69 years who live in Northern Norway answered a self-administrated questionnaire about eating habits, socioeconomic factors and questions related...

questions...
Optical remote sensing is used to measure flow patterns in the swash zone. Timestack images are analyzed to measure the asymmetry and the relative duration of the inflow into the swash zone. This varies significantly between individual swashes, contrary to the classical analytical swash model for runup induced by bores,...
