Tidal power can play a vital role in integrating as new source of renewable energy to the off-grid power connection in isolated areas, namely Sandwip, in Bangladesh. It can reduce the present energy crisis and improve the social, environmental and economic perspective of Bangladesh. Tidal energy is becoming popular around the world due to its own facilities. The development of any country large...

Douglas Channel is the principal shipping route between town of Kitimat and Pacific Ocean. Prediction near-surface currents crucial for safe tanker navigation cleaning-up oil spills. Three years current velocity data were collected at two moorings located 30 km apart. Spectral, wavelet, harmonic analysis measured throughout upper (40-m) lower (50–358 m) water columns indicated predominant influ...

BACKGROUND Ventilation using low tidal volumes with permission of hypercapnia is recommended to protect the lung in acute respiratory distress syndrome. However, the most lung protective tidal volume in association with hypercapnia is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of different tidal volumes with associated hypercapnia on lung injury and gas exchange in a model for acu...

A two-dimensional tidal wave model for the Chinese marginal seas with high resolution is set up and the verification results demonstrate that it can well simulate the large domain. Based on this model, a series of numerical experiments are constructed to analyze the influence of local bathymetry and reclamation of the Jiangsu coast on the tidal wave system. According to the simulation results, ...

from the regional ocean modeling system (ROMS), has three one-way nested domains with the finest resolution of 1.6 km in the horizontal direction and 32 levels in the vertical direction. In present research, the tidal simulation of the system is validated against tide gauges, ADCP current observations, high-frequency radar surface-current observations, and compared with the output from two baro...

The prognosis of myasthenia gravis (MG) in association with invasive or metastatic thymoma is usually worse, and therapeutic options are quite limited. Here, we retrospectively reported the therapeutic effect of docetaxel plus cisplatin (docetaxel/cisplatin) chemotherapy in 7 MG patients with metastatic thymoma. Previously, all patients underwent thymectomy at the first onset of thymoma. After ...

In the light of various studies carried out in various socio-economic areas, scientific and cultural development has been introduced as a prerequisite and fundamental factor for sustainable development of the societies. Obviously, universities, as a "scientific and intellectual command center of the society" have a fundamental and unique role and function. In order to achieve this, the most sig...

We write down M2-branes on the resolved C 4 /Z 4 orbifold space. The resolved spatial geometry is such that it interpolates between R 2 ×CP 3 near the branes and C 4 /Z 4 asymp-totically. The near horizon geometry of these branes is a deformation of AdS 4 × S 7 /Z 4. An interesting aspect is that for k = 4 Chern-Simons theory coupling becomes vanishing near the IR cutoff leading to spontaneous ...

Midori River estuary faces Ariake Bay,and has the largest sandy tidal flat(approximately2,100ha)in Japan.We investigated the spatial distribution of particle size composition of the sediment,microphytobenthos on the surface sediment and macrobenthic animals at the stations set along a cross transect line in Midori River estuary. The Chl-a concentrations of the surface sediment that reflected th...

In this paper we report the results of a pilot project we conduct to develop a semi-automated approach for tidal stream network extraction from remote sensor data. Our test site is part of the North Inlet-Winyah Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Georgetown, South Carolina, U.S.A. Largely lower than 1m above sea level, the study site consists of salt marshes behind barrier islands with ...
