light is never being distributed homogeneously and it forms a gradient over biomass. the unidirectional nature of light gives rise to a vertical gradient of light intensity as a function of depth. the maximum depth of the light zone suitable for phytoplankton photosynthesis is designated as the euphotic depth. this study was designed to test the hypothesis of mixing depth of phytoplankton and i...

A minimalistic model complex for determining the available wind power and associated costs related to development of large–scale offshore was recently developed by Sørensen Larsen [1]. The demands only a few global input parameters, such as turbine rotor diameter, nameplate capacity, area farm, number turbines, water depth, mean speed Weibull parameters site. Using actual climate bathymetric da...

Abstract The optical data transport system of the KM3NeT neutrino telescope at bottom Mediterranean Sea will provide more than 6000 modules in detector arrays with a point-to-point connection to control stations onshore. ARCA and ORCA detectors are being installed depth about 3500 m 2500 m, respectively their distance is 100 kilometers 40 kilometers. In particular, two optimised for detection c...

In the South Pacific Ocean, upper and lower Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW LCDW, respectively) occupy deep layers; however, presence fate of these two water masses in western equatorial have been mostly based on sparse measurements both space time. this study, unprecedented from three cruises conducted Solomon Sea region along with World Ocean Database 2018 are examined to better characterize pro...

The relative efficiency of the Waring blender, the Stomacher 400, and the Stomacher 3500 for preparing food samples for microbiological analysis was studied. Comparative aerobic plate count (APC) values were determined on 671 samples, representing 30 categories of foods. Of the 26 categories of nonfatty foods, the blender gave significantly higher geometric mean APC values than those given by t...

A 64-year-old man presented with progressive skin lesions, which were diagnosed as blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) and were confirmed with marrow involvement. He received SL-401 chemotherapy but developed persistent monocytosis. A 3-month follow-up bone marrow biopsy showed characteristic “tadpole” cells on smears (panels A-B; original magnifications 3500, hematoxylin and e...

Familial defective apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 (FDB) is caused by R3500Q mutation of the apo B gene resulting in decreased binding of LDL to the LDL receptor. Two other apo B mutations, R3500W and R3531C, affecting binding are known to date. We screened the apo B gene segment around codon 3500 by heteroduplex analysis and single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis in a total of 373 ...

Microbial biomass phosphorus (MBP) is one of the most active forms of phosphorus (P) in soils. MBP plays an important role in the biogeochemical P cycle. To explore MBP distribution and its relationship with other factors, the MBP and rhizosphere soil P concentrations and fractions in six vegetation zones on the eastern slope of Gongga Mountain in SW China were investigated. The MBP distributio...
