Abstract In this paper, multi-layer current data continuously observed in November 2021 was studied by statistical analysis, spectral and harmonic analysis the shallow water area of northern outer shelf East China Sea. The results showed that: during observation, average velocity 30.5cm/s, maximum 78.1cm/s. from 30cm/s to 40cm/s accounts for largest proportion, direction frequency eastward, up ...

1. The enzyme that catalyses the transfer of galactose from UDP-galactose to N-acetylgalactosaminyl-(1-->4)-N-acetylneuraminyl-(2-->3)-galactosyl-(1-->4)-glucosylceramide (G(M2)) was found mainly in the heavy- and light-microsomal fractions of the adult frog brain. 2. The subcellular distribution of the enzyme, UDP-galactose-G(M2) galactosyltransferase, parallels that of gangliosides in adult f...

This research was carried out to assess the effect of drought stress on head branch dry weight, photosynthesis, essential oil yield and radical scavenging of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) in Islamic Azad University, Shoushtar branch, Iran during 2010-2011.The experiments were carried out using complete randomized block design with four replications and drought stress levels included cont...

OBJECTIVE Both metabolic syndrome (MetS) and obesity increase the risk of stroke. However, few studies have compared the risks of stroke associated with metabolically obese non-obese weight (MONW) and metabolically healthy obesity (MHO). This study aimed to compare the prevalence of stroke in MONW and MHO individuals. METHODS A total of 25,744 subjects aged ≥40 years were selected from the 20...

This Phase I study was designed to determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) of paclitaxel with standard doses of cisplatin and etoposide for patients with untreated extensive stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Secondary objectives were to determine the toxicities, response rate, response duration, and overall survival in this cohort. Twenty-eight SCLC patients were enrolled into four dose...

The Severn Estuary has the third highest tidal range in the world with its spring tidal range reaching 14 m. The estuary is extremely turbid with very high suspended sediment concentrations and limited light penetration through the water column. It has large areas of intertidal mudflat which are of major conservation importance. Hence, it is protected under several European legislative directiv...

In an estuarine system, the flood tidal wave may become a tidal bore during the early flood tide in a narrow funnelled channel under large tidal ranges. Herein new experiments were conducted in a large flume to investigate breaking tidal bores and the bore roller propagation. The results demonstrated several key features of tidal bores propagating in rectangular channels. The propagation of the...

BACKGROUND Expiratory flow limitation (EFL) by negative expiratory pressure (NEP) testing, quantified as the expiratory flow-limited part of the flow-volume curve, may be influenced by airway obstruction of intrathoracic and extrathoracic origins. NEP application during tidal expiration immediately determines a rise in expiratory flow (V) followed by a short-lasting V drop (deltaV), reflecting ...

We investigate, by means of numerical simulations, the possibility of forming counter-rotating old stellar components by major mergers between an elliptical and a spiral galaxy. We show that counter-rotation can appear both in dissipative and dissipationless retrograde mergers, and it is mostly associated to the presence of a disk component, which preserves part of its initial spin. In turn, th...
