Abstract Freshwater salinization is a common yet underappreciated environmental problem in rivers, how this process impacts the transport of dissolved oxygen (DO) hyporheic zone remains unknown. Using flume experiments and numerical simulations, we have demonstrated that morphological dynamics DO transition are controlled by dimensionless number Da·Ra −2 , measure rate aerobic respiration to fr...

Abstract Pétrola Lake in southeast Spain is one of the most representative examples hypersaline wetlands southern Europe. The rich ecosystem and environmental importance this lake are closely associated with hydrogeological behaviour system. wetland fed by underlying aquifer relatively fresh groundwater—1 g L −1 total dissolved solids (TDS)—with a centripetal direction towards wetland. In addit...

Abstract Anisakis is a parasite that found in many marine products and can cause anisakiasis when present fish consumed raw. The most common way to prevent freeze the fish, but this causes noticeable decrease quality of eaten as sashimi. Although no practical method killing anisakis other than freezing has been found, we have now succeeded inactivating inside meat by repeatedly instantaneously ...

In this paper we present a parallel implementation of a 2D numerical model for the solution of a transient density driven flow in porous media. The physical processes involved are multiscale, therefore computation time are usually long, thus a special effort has been made to speed-up computations by using parallel architectures. As most of the CPU time is spent in solving large sparse linear sy...

We investigated the relationship between glucocorticoids, thyroid hormones, and outer ring and inner ring deiodinases (ORD and IRD) during embryonic development in the saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus). We treated the embryos with the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (Dex), 3,3',5-triiodothyronine (T(3)), and a combination of these two hormones (Dex + T(3)). The effects of these tr...
