Emerging application areas such as air pollution in megacities, wind energy, urban security, and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles have intensified scientific and societal interest in mountain meteorology. To address scientific needs and help improve the prediction of mountain weather, the U.S. Department of Defense has funded a research effort—the...

This study investigates the exchange of momentum between the atmosphere and ocean using data collected from four oceanic field experiments. Direct covariance estimates of momentum fluxes were collected in all four experiments and wind profiles were collected during three of them. The objective of the investigation is to improve parameterizations...

Previous studies have reported that the metastable vaterite phase of calcium carbonate can be stabilized in solution by acidic additives. Here we demonstrate that vaterite can also be stabilized directly at surfaces by engineered peptides. Our data show that the mineralisation occurs in a 'self-templating' process where calcium ions restructure...

Firemaster 550 (FM550) is an additive flame retardant mixture used within polyurethane foam and is increasingly found in house dust and the environment due to leaching. In this study, we sought to investigate mono-substituted isopropylated triaryl phosphate (mITP), a major component of FM550, which has been shown to cause cardiotoxicity...

Two measured sections of the upper Silurian Douro
Formation from Devon Island, N.W.T. were examined for their
faunal content with emphasis on the paleoecology and taxonomy
of the fauna. Atrypella is believed to have lived with
its beaks embedded in the muddy substrate of a somewhat
restricted environment. Intermittent, low...

BACKGROUND:
Plant gametophytes play central roles in sexual reproduction. A hallmark of the plant life
cycle is that gene expression is required in the haploid gametophytes. Consequently, many
mutant phenotypes are expressed in this phase.
RESULTS:
We perform a quantitative RNA-seq analysis of embryo sacs, comparator ovules with the
embryo...

Nanotechnology is of increasing significance. Curation of nanomaterial data into electronic databases offers opportunities to better understand and predict nanomaterials’ behaviour. This supports innovation in, and regulation of, nanotechnology. It is commonly understood that curated data need to be sufficiently complete and of sufficient quality to serve their intended purpose....

Clastic sedimentary rocks of the Nanaimo Group on Saltspring Island, British Columbia are Late Cretaceous in age, overlie a deformed and intruded Paleozoic basement complex, and consist of
eight formations. These eight formations, from oldest to youngest, are the Comox, Haslam, Extension-Protection, Cedar District, De Courcy, Northumberland, Geoffrey, and Spray...
