Interocean Exchange of Thermocline Water

Formation of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) represents a transfer of upper layer water to abyssal depths at a rate of 15 to 20 x 10 6 m3/s. NADW spreads throughout the Atlantic Ocean and is exported to the Indian and Pacific Oceans by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and deep western boundary currents. Naturally, there must be a compensating flow of upper layer water toward the northern Nort...

Diagnostic Efficacy of Fine Needle Aspiration in Parotid Mass

Environmental Transfers against Global Warming: A Credit-based Program*

This paper investigates the impacts of institutionalizing a credit-based transfer program between developing and developed countries. Such a program is expected to become an essence of the Clean Development Mechanism, which is to be implemented shortly. The provisions of financial and technological transfers are incorporated simultaneously into a dynamic game model of global stock pollution whe...
