This paper examines how the combination of simulated discharge and mean catchment residence time (MRT) may be used to subsume flow path process complexity and provide a simple, scalable evaluative data source for water quantity-quality based conceptual models at the catchment scale. A simple Monte Carlo framework is used to evaluate the identifiability of parameters, and how values of mean resi...

The method of analysis of the first temporal moment (mean residence time) of tracer return data was utilized to investigate the swept volume and fluid velocity between pairs of injection and production wells in the Dixie Valley geothermal field. Calculations were made using a spreadsheet program available from the Idaho National Laboratory. Jointly sponsored industry–government research at the ...

The aim of the study was to determine the apparent volume of distribution (VTOT), total body clearance (CL), fractional clearance, and mean residence time (MRT) of the β-cell hormone amylin. We therefore performed an intravenous injection of 50 μg of human synthetic amylin (amlintide) in nine healthy male subjects during suppression of endogenous amylin release by intravenous somatostatin (0.06...

Cotyledoside, a bufadienolide cardiac glycoside, was administered intravenously to sheep in 2 studies. In experiment 1, sheep (n = 4) received 0.0135 mg/kg daily on 5 consecutive days and in the 2nd experiment, sheep (n = 4) received 0.027 mg/kg as a single dose. Jugular blood was collected at different time intervals and kinetic parameters were determined. The data fitted a 1-compartmental mod...

Researchers have clearly identified the importance of green space to promote mental and physical health among humans. In urban areas, public parks are essential for providing access many residents. This study relationships between demographics, neighborhood social capital, violent crime, residential distance closest park (park proximity) with self-reported parks, a population-representative sam...

Soil and epikarst play an important role in the hydrological cycle in karst regions. This paper focuses on investigating the seasonal recharge and mean residence time (MRT) of soil water and epikarst water in a small karst catchment of southwest China. The deuterium contents in precipitation, creek, soil baseflow (direct recharge of the saturated soil water to the stream), epikarst spring, and ...
