Seamounts in a restless ocean: response of passive tracers to sub-tidal flow variability
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-08-01)
The action of sub-tidal oceanic flow impinging on an isolated seamount, and its consequences for biological tracer patterns, was assessed using a three-dimensional ocean circulation model. Passive tracers released above ...
El niño-southern oscillation influence on tropospheric mercury concentrations
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-02-25)
The El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects the tropospheric concentrations of many trace gases. Here we investigate the ENSO influence on mercury concentrations measured in the upper troposphere during Civil Aircraft ...
Origin of year-long bean (phaseolus dumosusmacfady, fabaceae) from reticulated hybridization events between multiplephaseolusspecies
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-08-06)
Background and Aims Improved understanding of the secondary gene pools of crops is essential for advancing genetic gain in breeding programmes. Common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, is a staple crop with several wild relatives ...
Adipose mesenchymal stromal cell-based therapy for severe osteoarthritis of the knee: a phase i dose-escalation trial
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-05-23)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most widespread musculoskeletal disorder in adults. It leads to cartilage damage associated with subchondral bone changes and synovial inflammation, causing pain and disability. The present study ...
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells have innate procoagulant activity and cause microvascular obstruction following intracoronary delivery: amelioration by antithrombin therapy
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-06-04)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are currently under investigation as tools to preserve cardiac structure and function following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, concerns have emerged regarding safety of acute ...
Severe pollution in china amplified by atmospheric moisture
(Springer Nature, 2017-11-17)
In recent years, severe haze events often occurred in China, causing serious environmental problems. The mechanisms responsible for the haze formation, however, are still not well understood, hindering the forecast and ...
Ensurf: multi-model sea level forecast – implementation and validation results for the ibiroos and western mediterranean regions
(Copernicus GmbH, 2012-03-30)
ENSURF (Ensemble SURge Forecast) is a multi-model application for sea level forecast that makes use of several storm surge or circulation models and near-real time tide gauge data in the region, with the following main ...
Turbulent structure and scaling of the inertial subrange in a stratocumulus-topped boundary layer observed by a doppler lidar
(Copernicus GmbH, 2015-05-27)
The turbulent structure of a stratocumulus-topped marine boundary layer over a 2-day period is observed with a Doppler lidar at Mace Head in Ireland. Using profiles of vertical velocity statistics, the bulk of the mixing ...
U-q((G) over cap) Heisenberg families
(Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01)
We explicitly describe Heisenberg families of elements in an arbitrary grading subspaces of the quantized universal enveloping algebra U-q((G) over cap) of an affine Kac-Moody algebra (G) over cap in the Drinfeld formulation.
Catastrophic thinning of dielectric elastomers
(American Physical Society (APS), 2017-02-15)
We provide an energetic insight into the catastrophic nature of thinning instability in soft electroactive elastomers. This phenomenon is a major obstacle to the development of giant actuators, yet it is neither completely ...
