Aerodynamic roughness heights of 1–3 cm were obtained from measured wind profiles collected among
fields of gravel-mantled megaripples in the high desert of the Puna region of northwestern Argentina.
Roughness height appears to be relatively insensitive to the angle at which the wind was incident upon
the bedforms throughout the...
The Tobin Range of central Nevada lies in the Basin and Range extensional
province near the transition between more extended terrane (>50%) to the south and
east, and generally less extended terrane to the north and west. Geologic mapping,
40Ar/39Ar dating and whole-rock geochemical analysis were employed to establish the...

High resolution images of a dim companion in a binary star system can be obtained using a Digital Micromirror Array (DMA) as an optical mask. Imaging can be problematic because the intense light from the main star can saturate the detector and leave the companion unnoticed. Placement of the DMA...

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a crucial organelle in the cell where protein folding and processing occurs, and conditions that negatively affect ER functions are highly detrimental to the cell. The accumulation of unfolded/misfolded proteins in the ER leads to a condition known as ER Stress. The ER has developed...

The degree of wildfire risk depends on both the probability of an ignition and the potential for damage or harm (such as loss of trees, homes, or even lives). Recognizing that you may have a high wildfire risk is the first step in doing something about it. Whether you own...

We show how a distributed borehole flowmeter can be created from armored Fiber Optic
cables with the Active-Distributed Temperature Sensing (A-DTS) method. The principle is that in a flowing
fluid, the difference in temperature between a heated and unheated cable is a function of the fluid velocity.
We outline the...
