The rate at which CO2 is released from woody debris post-clearcut affects the long term carbon consequences of such disturbances. Changes in microclimate post-clearcut may alter the rate of woody debris decomposition from that in a mature forest. However, very few studies have explored post-disturbance rates of woody debris respiration and the possible influence of an altered microclimate, and ...

Prior work has shown the utility of syntactic tree fragments as features in judging the grammaticality of text. To date such fragments have been extracted from derivations of Bayesianinduced Tree Substitution Grammars (TSGs). Evaluating on discriminative coarse and fine grammaticality classification tasks, we show that a simple, deterministic, count-based approach to fragment identification per...

In this study, sugar beet molasses was used as a natural curing agent in the production of fermented Turkish sucuk two different forms (molasse and powdered molasse). Some quality characteristics were determined during ripening (1st, 3rd 5th days) period obtained dough (0. day) samples. order to compare effects agents sucuk, control (K) group containing sodium nitrate formed. The application al...

The fatigue properties of a submicrocrystalline titanium are shown to be substantially higher than those coarse-grained state. A deposition an oxide coating leads insignificant increase in these for with and structures. Some peculiarities the fracture analyzed.

Wet and dry depositions of aerosols in WRF-Chem are revisited updated based on recent observational findings. Traditionally, in-cloud scavenging was thought to play a more dominant role aerosol wet removal than below-cloud scavenging. However, field measurements indicated considerable contribution 50%–60% total deposition. In contrast, the simulated previous version too large, exhibiting 88%–95...

Alternate bars were formed by sediment transport in a flume with Froude-modelled flow and relative roughness characteristic of gravel-boulder channels with steep slopes. The flume (0.3 m wide x 7.5 m long) was filled with a sand-gravel mixture, which was also fed into the top of the flume at a constant rate under constant discharge. Channel slope was set at 0.03. Initially, coarse particles acc...

Metadon persicus Gilasian & Reemer sp. nov. is described, based on a single female specimen from the Zagros mountains in Iran. Morphological variation among the members of the genus Metadon Reemer and their distribution in the world are discussed. Photographs of the new species are provided. The subfamily Microdontinae represents a new taxon for southwestern Asia and the genus Metadon is report...

Coarse aerosols (particle diameter (D(p)) > 2 μm) produced in coastal surf zones carry chemical and microbial content to shore, forming a connection between oceanic, atmospheric, and terrestrial systems that is potentially relevant to coastal ecology and human health. In this context, the effects of tidal height, wind speed, and fog on coastal coarse aerosols and microbial content were quantifi...
