The amount of petroleum hydrocarbon and heavy metals in the sediment of the Persian Gulf’s shore, at 8 selected stations were determined and showed the maximum of 143.6 and 58.6 mg/kg sediment, respectively, both maximum amounts were related to Emam Hassan zone which is located at 50 kilometers to west Boushehr port. Bioremediation of contaminated sediment were studied in slurry and solid-state...

The sedimentary processes of seamount regions are closely related to climate change and ocean evolution. clay minerals, grain size 14 C ages core SCS18-1, which was collected from the Beipo in northern South China Sea (SCS) were analyzed discuss provenance paleoenvironmental conditions during last deglaciation. sediments SCS18-1 dominated by clayey silt, is mainly composed illite (55.2~62.1%) c...

The metacestode (larval) stages of the cestode parasites Echinococcus vogeli and E. multilocularis were isolated from the peritoneal cavity of experimentally infected C57BL/6 mice and were cultured in vitro for a period of up to 4 mo under conditions normally applied for the in vitro cultivation of E. multilocularis metacestodes. In contrast to E. multilocularis, E. vogeli did not exhibit exten...

Article history: Received 11 October 2016 Accepted 5 January 2017 Available online 14 January 2017 The Siletz terrane, a predominantly mafic accreted oceanic terrane, is located in the Cascadia forearc region of Oregon, Washington and Vancouver Island. The terrane represents a late Palaeocene–Eocene large igneous province that consists of pillow lavas, massive flows and intrusive sheets. Previo...

We relate entropy and magnetic field perturbations to variations of solar p-mode eigenfrequencies. The frequency variations result from changes in path length and propagation speed. These produce shifts of opposite sign. Path length changes dominate for entropy perturbations, and propagation speed changes dominate for most types of magnetic field perturbations. The p-mode frequencies increased ...

BACKGROUND Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is caused by the metacestode stage of Echinococcus multilocularis. The inflammatory response to this infection is influenced by the interaction of the parasite with the host. We aimed to analyze human liver lesions infected with Echinococcus multilocularis and the changes of the cellular infiltrates during albendazole (ABZ) treatment. METHODOLOGY/PRINCI...

The North Yellow Sea, located at the intersection of Eurasian continent and Pacific Ocean mid-latitudes, is a sensitive area subjected to joint actions ocean, land, monsoons. On its southern shore, loess paleosol sedimentary sequences were widely developed during last interglacial period, which great significance for revealing patterns climate change dynamic conditions. In this paper, we focus ...

The area of lakes in Tibetan Plateau (TP) is 36522 km 2 , accounting for nearly half (49.1%) the total lake surface China, and TP are seasonally ice-covered 4–5 months per year. In such a high-cold Third Pole with extensive lakes, how does aeolian sediment transport on ice cover to what extent can seasonal cause redistribution by providing pathways migration rarely studied. source region Yellow...
