Ephemeral lakes and desert dust sources
[1] The processes that determine which areas are strong sources of mineral aerosols are not well known. In this study we consider the role of ephemeral lakes in modulating emissions of atmospheric mineral aerosols. We focus on two ephemeral lake regions that have been identified as source regions: the zone of Chotts in Tunisia and Algeria, and Etosha Pan in Namibia. Comparisons of satellite ret...
متن کاملFirst observations of the aquatic invertebrate fauna in ephemeral Atacama River (22° S, Antofagasta Region, Chile)
The invertebrate communities of the northern Chilean rivers are characterised by their marked endemism andspecificity of their community structure in different basins. The river systems located in the Atacama Desert are endorheicand are affected by the rainy period of January-February commonly known as the “Bolivian winter“. The present study isthe first report on the observations of arthropods...
متن کاملLandscapes with Tiles and Potholes
SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) is a watershed model that has been incorporated into USEPA’s modeling framework called BASINS used for total maximum daily load (TMDL) analysis. It is thus important that SWAT realistically simulate tile flow and pothole landscapes that are common in much of the Corn Belt and Great Lakes states. In this study, SWAT was modified to simulate water table dynam...
متن کاملPotholes on the Royal Road
It is still unclear how an evolutionary algorithm (EA) searches a fitness landscape, and on what fitness landscapes a particular EA will do well. The validity of the building-block hypothesis, a major tenet of traditional genetic algorithm theory, remains controversial despite its continued use to justify claims about EAs. This paper outlines a research program to begin to answer some of these ...
متن کاملArticular cartilage injury: filling potholes.
From Hippocrates to Hunter and at present, articular cartilage injury presents significant problems. Articular cartilage injury is the Achilles’ heel of the athlete. What can be done about this? First, the etiology of the pothole needs to be defined. Osteoarthritis, traumatic injuries, and osteochondritis dissecans are the big three. Better diagnostic and imaging techniques are now available to...
