We use 11 years of annual surveys in streams the Southern Rockies Colorado, USA, to examine persistence and geomorphic effects logjams. Each year’s survey includes ?300 logjams along more than 21 km four mountain primarily old-growth subalpine forest. Streams alternate longitudinally between laterally confined reaches with a single channel wider multithread-channel planform. distinguish logjam ...

A nonlinear wave transformation model which can calculate the distribution of wave height inside a harbor with good accuracy has been used to estimate harbor tranquility. In a conventional procedure, however, the characteristics of such calculation could not be applied enough because the variation of wave height ratio with the steepness of incident waves would be ignored in prediction of an occ...

Spatial gradients of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine pesticides were examined in the young-of-the-year (YOY) bluefish (Pomatomus saltatrix) in the vicinity of a PCB Superfund Site in New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts, and in the adjacent waters. PCB concentrations in bluefish varied between different locations, and also among fish from a given location. A generally decreasin...

Background: Molecular marker based cancer diagnosis gaining more attention in the current genomics era. So, Hspb1 and Tp53 gene characterization and their mRNA expression might be helpful in diagnosis andprognosis ofcat mammary adenocarcinoma. It will also add informationin comparative cancer genetics and genomics. Objectives: Eight tumors of Siamese cats were analyzed to ascertain germ-line an...
