The broad objective of this project has been to extend our understanding on the role of large scale offshore forcing, including baroclinic tides, in nearshore dynamics. From this understanding we aim to develop modeling approaches that, combined with offshore baroclinic models, can account for the effects of offshore internal wave forcing on the circulation and sediment transport in the coastal...

The na lidar-observed temperature diurnal tidal perturbations, based on full-diurnal-cycle observations from 2002 to 2008, are compared with tidal wave measurements by the TIMED/SABER instrument to elucidate the nature of diurnal tidal-period perturbations observed locally. The diurnal amplitude and phase profiles deduced by the two instruments are in very good agreement most of the year. Howev...

BACKGROUND Electrical Impedance measurements can be used to estimate the content of intra-thoracic air and thereby give information on pulmonary ventilation. Conventional Impedance measurements mainly indicate relative changes, but no information concerning air-volume is given. The study was performed to test whether a 3-point-calibration with known tidal volumes (VT) during conventional mechan...

the results of the initial study. It was concluded that the apical fluids, with their primary source being blood serum, diffuse into the empty canal spaces, stagnate, undergo degradation and then act as a physicochemical irritant when they diffuse back into periapical tissues. In support of this theory of stagnation, in 1955 Dow and Ingle showed that the majority of the endodontic failures were...

Some infants sleep facedown for long periods with no ill effects, whereas others become hypoxemic. Rebreathing of expired air has been determined by CO(2) measurement; however, O(2) levels under such conditions have not been determined. To evaluate this and other factors influencing inspired gas concentrations, we studied 21 healthy infants during natural sleep while facedown on soft bedding. W...

Understanding temporal patterns of marine mammal occurrence is useful for establishing conservation strategies. We used a 38 yr-long dataset spanning 1976 to 2013 to describe temporal patterns and trends in marine mammal strandings along a subtropical stretch of the east coast of South America. This region is influenced by a transitional zone between tropical and temperate waters and is conside...

In the present study, the time series encompassing the years 1950-2011 of commercial landings from the Caspian Sea were analyzed using min/max autocorrelation factor analysis (MAFA) and dynamic factor analysis (DFA). These aim was to identify trends and explore the relationships between the response variables (annual landings of 10 species/groups such as kilkas, kutum, common carp, pike perch, ...

Despite the increasing number of studies on river-tide interactions in estuaries, less attention has been paid to role seasonal morphological changes tidal regime. This study analyzes interplay river and tide Qiantang Estuary, China, particularly focusing influences active evolution induced by variation discharge. The is based high low water levels at three representative stations along estuary...

introduction:  this  in vitro  study compared the apical sealing ability of three common root end filling materials namely mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), intermediate restorative material (irm) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement using a bacterial leakage model.  methods and materials: the study was conducted on 83 single-rooted human teeth. tooth crowns were cut and root canals were p...
