The submarine Amsterdam-St. Paul (ASP) Plateau, bisected by the Southeast Indian Ridge (SEIR), is a bathymetric high rising ~2 km above the surrounding seafloor that includes the islands of Amsterdam and St. Paul; this excess volcanism is attributed to a mantle hot spot. We obtained new Sr, Nd, and Pb...
The terrestrial biosphere sequesters up to a
third of annual anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions,
offsetting a substantial portion of greenhouse
gas forcing of the climate system. Although a number
of factors are responsible for this terrestrial carbon
sink, atmospheric nitrogen deposition contributes by
enhancing tree productivity and promoting carbon
storage...

Using plant fibers as a potential renewable material to substitute for glass fibers in fiber-reinforced polymer composites has been growing since the late 1990s. Due to high demand, there has been a shift towards ‘green concept’ material in many applications. Numerous secondary plant fibers have been explored as a source...
The spin-statistics connection has been proved for nonrelativistic quantum mechanics (Jabs in Found Phys 40:776–792, 2010). The proof is extended here to the relativistic regime using the parametrized Dirac equation. A causality condition is not required.
Cyanobacterial harmful algae blooms (cyanoHABs) are a growing concern worldwide due to damage of ecosystems and threats to human health. Previous research indicates that plant humics from aquatic and wetland vascular plants are effective inhibitors of cyanobacterial metabolism and growth and may be useful as control agents for mitigating cyanoHABs....
The parametrized Dirac wave equation represents position and time as operators,
and can be formulated for many particles. It thus provides, unlike field–theoretic
Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), an elementary and unrestricted representation
of electrons entangled in space or time. The parametrized formalism leads directly
and without further conjecture to the Bethe-Salpeter...
he parametrized relativistic quantum mechanics of Stueckelberg [Helv. Phys. Acta
15, 23 (1942)] represents time as an operator, and has been shown elsewhere to yield the recently
observed phenomena of quantum interference in time, quantum diffraction in time and quantum
entanglement in time. The Stueckelberg wave equation as extended to...
