Long-term research on freshwater ecosystems provides insights that can be difficult to obtain from other approaches. Widespread monitoring of ecologically relevant water-quality parameters spanning decades can facilitate important tests of ecological principles. Unique long-term data sets and analytical tools are increasingly available, allowing for powerful and synthetic analyses across sites....
In Section 1 we will discuss multi-nucleon transfer reactions with light heavy ions, which can be thought of as competing with complete fusion at higher impact parameters. Quasi-elastic and multi-nucleon transfer reactions with the heaviest projectiles will be discussed in Section 2. In Section 3 we will cover recent developments...
The Kittlitz's murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris), a small pursuit-diving seabird in the family Alcidae, occurs across much of coastal Alaska and parts of the Russian Far East. Glacier Bay National Park, located in Southeast Alaska, is believed to support approximately 37% of the worldwide breeding population of Kittlitz's murrelets during the...
The wind field measured during Project JASIN 1972, a joint
British-American venture during September 1972, was analyzed.
These measurements were done, with equipment manufactured by
Ivar Aanderaa of Bergen, Norway, on large, anchored toroid buoys.
The results of the analysis of the wind field, which included
divergence and vorticity estimates...
Multiparadigm programming languages have been envisioned as a vehicle for constructing large and complex heterogeneous systems, such as a stock market exchange or a telecommunications network. General-purpose multiparadigm languages, as opposed to hybrid multiparadigm languages, embody several prevalent programming paradigms without being motivated by a single problem. One such language...
Citizen science is a growing phenomenon across many branches of environmental science facilitating both increased science literacy and the collection of highly rigorous, longitudinal data. Understanding the motivations of adults to join and remain active in citizen science programs is important as the diversity and abundance of opportunities for public...
Chordomas are uncommon neoplasms arising from notochord remnants, most commonly
occurring in the axial skeleton. Extraskeletal soft tissue chordomas are rare primary tumors, and
primary intestinal chordomas have not been reported. Herein we report 24 cases of spontaneous
primary intestinal chordomas in zebrafish, as well as 9 spontaneous vertebral chordomas....
