romania was occupied by the soviet army in 1944 and the military seizure continued until 1958. constant interference and constraints imposed by the russian government upon romania, during this time, resulted in formation and establishment of a communist institution in the country. the communist reign in romania lasted forty four years from 1945 to 1989. the hostility of the communist government...

This paper reports an attempt to map the time variations of selected articulatory parameters (from X-ray profiles) directly on the F1, F2 and F3 formant tracks using multiple regression analysis (MRA). The results indicate that MRA can indeed be useful for predicting formant frequencies. Since the results reported here are limited to preliminary observations of F1 only, further studies includin...

The Texas brown tide bloom is noted for a concordant decline in benthic biomass and species diversity. However, the link between harmful effects induced by Texas brown tide and benthos has not been demonstrated. It has been proposed there may be a larval bottleneck, where larvae, but not adults, suffer adverse effects. This study was performed to test the effect of brown tide alga, Aureoumbra l...

Comparative study on discrimination methods for identifying dangerous red tide species based on wavelet utilized classification methods is conducted. Through experiments, it is found that classification performance with the proposed wavelet derived shape information extracted from the microscopic view of the phytoplankton is effective for identifying dangerous red tide species among the other r...

Relation between chlorophyll-a concentration and red tide in the intensive study area of the back of Ariake Sea, Japan in the recent winter seasons is investigated by using MODIS data. Mechanism of red tide appearance is not so clarified. On the other hand, chlorophyll-a concentration can be estimated with satellite remote sensing data. An attempt is made for estimation of the location and size...

It seems that the wind shear theory is accepted for the explanation of sporadic E at mid and low latitudes. Some examples from Arecibo are displayed to show this. The e€ect of lunar tides should then modify the wind-shear theory in a manner that yields the observed features of the lunar tide in the critical frequency foEs and the height h¢Es of the sporadic E. This is shown to imply that the ph...

a major part of tidal energy is usually dissipated by the interaction of tidal currents with bottom topography. gulf of oman is a marginal sea which has variable topography and its dominant tidal constituent is m2 semi-diurnal tide. in this paper, the interaction of barotropic tidal current with bottom topography is evaluated. this phenomenon causes the formation of internal tide. internal tide...

In coastal areas, hydrodynamic factors make changes in shorelines geomorphology. This can affect coastal facilities and cause hazards to human societies in the areas. This study has investigated the influence of wave and tide properties on Khamir Port, Hormoz Strait in coast of Persian Gulf. The purpose of the study is to make a mathematical regional and local modeling of water level fluctuatio...

Bacterial community dynamics in South End tidal creek, Sapelo Island, GA, were studied over a 74-h, five-tidal-cycle period. Observations were made hourly for the first consecutive 24 hours, every 3 hours on the second day, and every 6 hours on the third day. Tide most strongly influenced bacterial community composition (high-tide versus low-tide community analysis of similarities, R = 0.41, P ...

The vegetated intertidal zone has long been acknowledged as an important habitat for fish, but our understanding of the dynamics of intertidal migrations by these fish is limited. Using in situ video recordings, we examined fish movements into and out of the waterward margin of a fringing mangrove forest during spring tides at 27 haphazardly chosen sites throughout the Rookery Bay National Estu...
