Remote sensing is an effective tool for mapping earth surface objects and phenomena, and provides the sole means for comprehensive monitoring of land surface changes. Normally captured in an image form by sensors mounted on aircraft or satellites,…

The stable isotope compositions (delta18O and deltaD) of water have been used to determine the relative contributions of different water sources to the groundwater in a barrier sand-bar that separates a coastal freshwater marsh from Lake Erie,…

Transcutaneous immunization (TI) has many practical merits compared to parenteral routes of administration. In the present study, non ionic surfactant vesicular carrier, i.e. niosomes, was evaluated for topical delivery of vaccines using hepatitis B…
-
Recent changes in many scientific names have caused confusion for many non-systematists. We suggest wider use of the category of subgenus as a compromise between the simultaneous needs that exist at the present time: nomenclatural stability for the…

This report by the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP) confirms that advances continue to be made towards greater access to safe drinking-water. Progress in relation to access to basic sanitation is however…

The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) provides a technically and economically viable alternative concept to present-day pn junction photovoltaic devices. In contrast to conventional silicon systems, where the semiconductor assumes both the task of…
-
The thesis first presents the basics influences of wind power on the power system stability and quality by pointing out the main power quality issues of wind power in a small-scale case and following, the expected large-scale problems are…
-
A dynamic model of floodplain management is shown to address nonstationary conditions, including land-use changes, channel modifications, economic development, and climate change and variability. The dynamic approach permits zoning, levee…

In all known organisms, amino acids are predominantly thought to be synthesized and used as their L-enantiomers. Here, we found that bacteria produce diverse D-amino acids as well, which accumulate at millimolar concentrations in supernatants of…

Two resistivity surveys of the region surrounding the Waiotapu, Waikite, and Reporoa thermal areas were made using a multiple-source bipole-dipole method which can detect resistivity variations to several kilometres depth. The surveys show that low…
-
Point processes and random measures find wide applicability in telecommunications, earthquakes, image analysis, spatial point patterns and stereology, to name but a few areas. The authors have made a major reshaping of their work in their first…
-
Stable isotope ratios of non-exchangeable hydrogen (deltaDn) and of carbon were measured in type-II kerogens from two suites of Late Devonian to Early Mississippian black shale, one from the New Albany Shale (Illinois Basin) and the other from the…
-
Plants with C-3, C-4, and CAM photosynthesis have unique delta(13)C values which are not altered significantly during decomposition and soil organic matter formation. Consequently, delta(13)C values of soil organic carbon reflect the relative…
-
Chapter one presents the most important and widely used metrics in software engineering for quality evaluation. The area of software engineering metrics is always under study; researchers continue to validate the metrics. The metrics presented were…
-
The relationship of various dimensions of temperament, measured by the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ), to polymorphisms of the D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) and D4 dopamine receptor (DRD4) genes was determined in 119 healthy Caucasian…
-
The dopamine transporter (DAT) terminates dopamine (DA) neurotransmission by reuptake of DA into presynaptic neurons. Regulation of DA uptake by D(2) dopamine receptors (D(2)R) has been reported. The high affinity of DA and other DAT substrates for…

Effect of chemistry on the stability and elasticity of the perovskite and - phases in the MgSiO 3 -FeSiO 3 -Al 2 O 3 system and implications
-
Global change is currently causing a strong decline of biodiversity and in the provision of essential ecosystem services. Assessments of status and trends of landscapes, biodiversity, and endangered species are needed and should be conducted in the…

Sharing food is costly, and animals rarely share food with unrelated individuals. Males may share food with females when females are fertile or when female nutrition will affect offspring. Such benefits are known for insects and birds, but not for…
