Objective: To investigate the influence of lithium mineral waters and lithium salts upon the differentiation

The current SeaDAS atmospheric correction algorithm relies on the computation of optical properties of aerosols based on radiative transfer combined with a nearinfrared (NIR) correction scheme (originally with assumptions of zero water-leaving radiance for the NIR bands) and several ancillary parameters to remove atmospheric effects in remote sensing of ocean colour. The failure of this algorit...

behaviour of the dilution characteristics of the coastal waters off tuticorin is presented in thebackground of setting up of a desalination plant. simulations of dispersion and spreading of the proposeddischarges has been carried out. scenarios of dilutions were assessed based on the results of a 2d model using the advection-dispersion theory. it is observed that under prevailing currents in th...

literature review indicates that systemic agricultural human resource development interventions are rarely carried out in developing countries, and limited knowledge exists about how successful they are. learning transfer is the generalization of material learned, such as skills acquired or knowledge gained in training, back to the job. the main aim of this study was to analyze factors influenc...

background: stroke is a major cause of death and disability in the world and these complications can be decreased by competent emergency care. emergency medical service (ems) transfer half of the stroke patients to hospitals. this study aimed to determine diagnosis of status and transfer time of stroke patients by ems to a main hospital (valiasr) in arak city. materials and methods: this study ...

Based on the survey data of Jiaozhou Bay in 1992, changes Pb content surface and bottom waters affected by ocean current process transportation were studied, sedimentation mechanism determined. The time change shows that: from May to October, 1) transported main sea decided water; 2) August, under carrying a large number plankton suspended particulate matter, that water reached maximum value ye...

Amitriptyline is a frequently prescribed tricyclic antidepressant. Although amitriptyline and its active metabolite, nortriptyline, have been widely detected in natural waters, their environmental fate due to photodegradation is poorly understood. Here we describe a study conducted to investigate the photodegradation of amitriptyline and its active metabolite under simulated sunlight. Neither a...

The biological carbon pump, which transports particulate organic carbon (POC) from the surface to the deep ocean, plays an important role in regulating atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations. We know very little about geographical variability in the remineralization depth of this sinking material and less about what controls such variability. Here we present previously unpublished prof...
