Mutualistic associations between cnidarians, such as corals, and photosynthetic
dinoflagellate algae provide the trophic and structural foundation of coral reef
ecosystems. In many cases, this intracellular mutualism is highly specific and must be
established anew for each generation of host corals. The ability to maintain partner
specificity across generations implies...
Abstract In this work, we study the transient behavior of homogenized models for solute transport
in two-region porous media. We focus on the following three models: (1) a time nonlocal, two-equation
model (2eq-nlt). This model does not rely on time constraints and, therefore, is particularly
useful in the short-time regime,...
In June 2009, wilted hop bines were observed in a yard in Marion County, OR. The wilt was associated with a stem rot that occurred ∽1 m from the ground near the point where bines are tied together for horticultural purposes. Samples of affected stems were submitted to the Oregon...
Aerosols and clouds have important effects on Earth's climate through their effects on the radiation budget and the cycling of water between the atmosphere and Earth's surface. Limitations in our understanding of the global distribution and properties of aerosols and clouds are partly responsible for the current uncertainties in modeling...
