Banjarmasin is known as a tidal waterfront city and it is called City of a Thousand Rivers. The city level was approximately -16 cm below the sea level and almost a swamp-land. The urbanization and the city development programs have changed the city’s physical and spatial plan from a wetland to a mainland structure. The issues of the city's transformation have changed the city structure from th...

The following second definition represents a more up-to-date description of geodesy given by the Committee on Geodesy of the U. S. National Academy of Sciences in 1978. • Establishment and maintenance of national and global three dimensional geodetic networks • Measurement and analyses of geodynamic phenomena (earth rotation, earth tides, crustal movements, etc.) • Determination of the earth's ...

Thanks for the wonderful item on the 1927 Mississippi River flood (1). I grew up in New Orleans and on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, hearing of storms and wading through floods all of my life, but no one had ever talked about the 1927 events, and this critical southern event was not taught in any history courses at my schools. Reading John Barry’s Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 19...

After volcanic explosions or tidal waves had defaunated several islands near New Guinea, bird species number rapidly returned to equilibrium on coral islets and rapidly returned to quasi-steady-state values limited by regrowth of vegetation in lowland forest of larger islands. However, reequilibration in montane forest has been limited by slow dispersal of the birds. Colonists have been drawn d...

Abstract The features of tide and tidal current in the east China seas were studied by FES2014 data gauge station data. It is found that well agreement with observation. Among four major components (M2, S2, K1, O1), M2 strongest component maximum amplitude (tidal current) exceeds 100 cm (100 cm/s), followed S2 its reaches 60 (50 cm/s). results indicate are dominated semi-diurnal tides. There am...

based on 11 years of topex/poseidon satellite altimetry and coastal tide gauge sea level observations, four tidal constituents, namely o1, k1, m2 and s2, are modeled for the persian gulf and oman sea using a time-wise approach according to the following details. by selecting the cycle 100 as the reference, 772 points on 12 paths along the track of the altimetry satellite footprints over the per...

BACKGROUND Sympathoexcitation and respiratory instability are closely related to worsening of chronic heart failure. To elucidate the dynamic nature of respiratory modulation of sympathetic activity in patients with heart failure, we studied within-breath variation of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) under various ventilatory volumes. METHODS AND RESULTS MSNA, blood pressure, and resp...

The long-term changes in the main tidal constituents (O1, K1, M2, N2, and S2) along the coasts of China and in adjacent seas are investigated based on 17 tide-gauge records covering the period 1954– 2012. The observed 18.61 year nodal modulations of the diurnal constituents O1 and K1 are in agreement with the equilibrium tidal theory, except in the South China Sea. The observed modulations of t...
