Both data whlch we present for Tomales Bay (California, USA) and general geochemical reasoning provide evidence to suggest that nearshore marine env~ronments tend to be net heterotrophic by a small margin, and that these systems oxidize on the order of 1 % of their primary production by denitrification. The rate of denitrification can be interpreted to be a simple stoichiometric function of the...

A necessary condition for the reliable modelling of the structure or evolution of the stars and of their concomitant nucleosynthesis is the availability of good quality nuclear data in a very wide area of the chart of nuclides. This short review presents a non-exhaustive list of nuclear data of astrophysics interest (masses, β-decays, thermonuclear and non-thermonuclear reaction rates) for nucl...

Europe and its influential knowledge systems are a late entry into the global marketplace of ideas, but they have had far-reaching and, in many cases, devastating impact on our planet. Some Christian thinkers themselves now acknowledge that Anthropocene at least partially arose from an ego-centric reading Biblical narrative about Adam’s domination over natural world. We desperately need philoso...

Each animal or human body is a complex macrocosm comprised of multiple interconnected ecological systems of different body sites, including numerous body surfaces which are highly populated by microorganisms. Each region differs from the others and thus, creating a selective environment where certain microorganisms are favored more than others. These residents participate in commensal, parasiti...

It uses data on personal (composer-to-composer) musical influences generate analyze network graphs. Data style ‘ecological’ are then combined composer-to-composer build similarit...

Ayurveda, a traditional system of medicine that originated over three millennia ago in the South Asian region, offers extensive insights about food and health based on certain unique conceptual as well as theoretical positions. Health is defined as a state of equilibrium with one's self (svasthya) but which is inextricably linked to the environment. Ayurvedic principles, such as the tridosa (th...

Location privacy is an oft-overlooked, but exceedingly important niche of the overall privacy macrocosm. An ambition of this work is to raise awareness of concerns relating to location privacy in cellular networks. To this end, we will demonstrate how user location information is leaked through a vulnerability, viz. the timing advance (TA) parameter, in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) signaling p...

The Bible declared that God created man in His own image. The concept that this divine pattern occurred not only in Man (the Microcosm), but was eternally repeated throughout Creation in the Macrocosm (Universe) and the Geocosm (Earth), was the basis of the important Doctrine of Correspondences, in which similarities were sought between man and nature, (e.g. the comparable morphology of a human...
