Isopycnal analyses of distributions of salinity, oxygen, apparent oxygen utilization, nitrate, and silica in the depth range 800-3000 m in the North and Tropical Atlantic Ocean are carried out using data from the Transient Tracers in the Oceans, Meteor cruise 56 leg 5, Atlantis II cruise 109 legs 1 and 3, and the GEOSECS Atlantic Study. The results are summarized in isopycnal distribution maps ...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects of an altitude training camp on heart rate variability and performance in elite triathletes. Ten athletes completed 20 days of live-high, train-low training at 1650m. Athletes underwent pre and post 800-m swim time trials at sea-level, and two heart rate variability tests at 1650m on the first and last day of the training camp. Based on their tim...

Fig. 1 (a) Plots of Kinetic parameters (K, ve, kep, IAUC) vs. assumed baseline T1 when a true T1=800 ms with K trans = 0.5min, IAUC = 0.039 M⋅s, kep = 1.25 min , and ve = 0.4. (b) Plots of the normalized ratios (NR) of IAUC, kep, K trans and ve. True NRs are 0.77, 0.6, 0.5 and 0.125, respectively. The same true T1 (800 ms) was assumed for both preand post-treatment.

The electrical and thermal performances of photovoltaic thermal (PVT) water collectors were determined under 500–800 W/m solar radiation levels. At each solar radiation level, mass flow rates ranging from 0.011 kg/s to 0.041 kg/s were introduced. The PVT collectors were tested with respect to PV efficiency, thermal efficiency, and a combination of both (PVT efficiency). The results show that th...

[1] We present electric and magnetic fields measured at multiple stations between about 300 and 800 m of a cloud-to-ground ‘‘bipolar’’ lightning flash containing two initial positive strokes, separated in time by 53 ms and striking ground at two locations separated by about 800 m, followed by four negative strokes that traversed the same path as the second positive stroke. The leader electric f...

A total of 797 specimens of wild adult triatomines, belonging to six species from the entomological collections of the Costa Rican National Biodiversity Institute, was studied from the standpoint of their relative abundance, as reflected by light traps, distribution in the country, seasonal variations and climatic and altitudinal preferences. Triatoma dimidiata was the most abundant species (32...

Abstract This study dealt with the reduction of soil loss from variously managed grass filter strips. Slope plots under a rainfall simulator were employed in this study. In order to investigate the effect of grass filter strips on the reduction of soil loss, the amount of soil supplied was compared with soil loss in each plot. The reduction of soil loss from cut weeds was similar to that from n...
