Google Earth (GE) provides very high resolution (VHR) natural-colored (red-green-blue, RGB) images based on commercial spaceborne sensors over worldwide coastal areas. GE is rarely used as a direct data source to address coastal issues despite the tremendous potential of data transferability. This paper describes an inexpensive and easy-to-implement methodology to construct a GE natural-colored...

URh 2 Ge 2 occupies an extraordinary position among the heavy–electron 122– compounds, by exhibiting a previously unidentified form of magnetic correlations at low temperatures, instead of the usual antiferromagnetism. Here we present new results of ac and dc susceptibilities, specific heat and neutron diffraction on single–crystalline as–grown URh 2 Ge 2. These data clearly indicate that cryst...

Weak ferromagnetism of quasi-one-dimensional S = 1/2 antiferromagnet BaCu 2 Ge 2 O 7 is studied by the magnetization measurement. The spontaneous magnetization appears along the b axis below 8.8 K. The local symmetry between the intra-chain nearest neighbor spins allows the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, and the only possible spatial configuration of the weak ferromagnetic momen...

in an attempt to determine the chemical losses of three common molluscicides, i.e. cuso4, napcp and bayer –73, in stagnant water, a solution of each of this molluscicide was applied to one or more b.truncatus habitats and outdoor aquariums. the concentration of each molluscicide in these water bodies was determined immediately after application and at fixed time intervals thereafter. the concen...

Juxta-articular nodes (Lutz, 1891; Jeanselme, 1924) have usually been reported from tropical countries where yaws and syphilis are endemic. Kalz and Newton (1943) state that only about 200 cases have been reported from non-tropical regions. In the Scandinavian literature only one report of such nodes (Fex, 1927) has come to our knowledge and we therefore wish to present four cases observed at t...
