According to the analysis of the radio wave spectrograms captured by the IMAGE, Geotail, Polar, Wind, Stereo-A, and Stereo-B spacecraft, the correlation between the auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) intensity and the auroral electrojet (AE) index have been found to be negatively correlated as well as positively correlated. These findings raised questions against the present notion that AKR int...

This paper systematically investigated the effect of flow rate ratios between the water and oil phases, and concentrations of sodium alginate within the water phase, on the generation of droplets and capsules in a microfluidic reactor in order to facilitate artificial cell production within the water phase for biological experiments. Artificial cells, which simulate the processes that occur wit...

This paper assesses the changing norms of water use known as the duty of water. It is a case study in historical socio-hydrology, or more precisely the history of socio-hydrologic ideas, a line of research that is useful for interpreting and anticipating changing social values with respect to water. The duty of water is currently defined as the amount of water reasonably required to irrigate a ...

The nutria or coypu (Myocastor coypus) is a rodent native to South America that has been introduced almost worldwide since the early 1900’s, originally with the intent of fur farming in many cases. The nutria is a large (over 6 kg), semi-aquatic rodent with a voracious appetite and high reproductive potential. Nutria became established in the Louisiana wetlands in the 1930’s. The habitat proved...
