Deep subaqueous volcanic eruptions (>500 m below sea level (mbsl)) remain enigmatic due to a lack of visual observations and difficulty recreating ambient conditions in the lab. Eruptive activity at West Mata seamount May 2009 remains one two deep have ever been filmed. A distinct low-intensity eruptive style, termed bubble escape activity, was observed Hades vent (1200 mbsl) characterized by a...

The radio/optical alignment effect for small powerful radio galaxies has been shown to be produced by shock waves formed by the interaction of the head of the jet and/or cocoon with clouds embedded in the interstellar/intergalactic medium. We present here preliminary results of analytical and numerical solutions that have been made to account for the production of implosive shock waves induced ...

This paper reports an analysis of the acquisition of plosives and implosives by a Fulfulde monolingual child aged from 5 months to 10 months and 29 days. Analyses revealed that before 11 months the child was making use of complex consonant-like implosives and prenasal plosives. We provided new aerodynamic analyses of adult‟s implosive /ɓ/. These aerodynamic data revealed that in Fulfulde this p...

The sonication of ionic organic liquids leads to decomposition of the liquids. Multibubble sonoluminescence spectra and headgas analysis reveal a variety of decomposition products from the sonolysis of N,N'-dialkylimidazolium ionic liquids. The decomposition is a result of acoustic cavitation, which generates localized hot spots from the implosive collapse of bubbles in the ionic liquids. Despi...

To determine how fracture–vuggy structure, pressure, and injection–production mode influence displacement efficiency in the water flooding process in fracture–vuggy reservoirs, two types of models were built based on the characteristic of such reservoir: two fracture models with different fracture apertures and two fracture– vuggy models with different sizes of vugs. A series of twophase fluid ...

Exotic plants and river regulation have changed riparian ecosystems throughout the south-western U.S. We compared litter dynamics at sites dominated by native cottonwoods or exotic saltcedar in the Middle Rio Grande Valley of central New Mexico. Litter production was greater at cottonwood sites and may have increased after experimental flooding in cottonwood but not in saltcedar. Decomposition ...
