Gating of Two Mechanoelectrical Transducer Channels Associated with a Single Tip Link
Abstract Although gating of mechanoelectrical transducer (MET) channels has been successfully described by assuming that one channel is associated with a tip link in the hair bundle, recent reports indicate that a single tip link is associated with...

Origin of groundwater salinity (current seawater vs. saline deep water) in a coastal karst aquifer based on Sr and Cl isotopes. Case study of the La Clape massif (southern France)
Abstract In this study a typical coastal karst aquifer, developed in lower Cretaceous limestones, on the western Mediterranean seashore (La Clape massif, southern France) was investigated. A combination of geochemical and isotopic approaches was...

Natural Attenuation of Heavy Metals (Cd, Cr, and Pb) in a Water Table Aquifer Underlying an Industrial Site
Abstract We investigated 3 heavy metals in a contaminated shallow aquifer, in which the pH ranges from 1 to 10. We show that natural attenuation takes place through various geochemical processes (coprecipitation and precipitation), as acidic pH is...

Hydrographic variability over the northeastern Chukchi Sea shelf in summer-fall 2008–2010
Abstract We used shipboard CTD, mooring, meteorological, glider, and high-frequency radar data to examine spatial and temporal (seasonal and interannual) variations in the circulation and water properties over the central portion of the northeastern ...

Sink or source—The potential of coffee agroforestry systems to sequester atmospheric CO2 into soil organic carbon
Abstract Current carbon accounting methodologies often assume interactions between above-ground and below-ground carbon, without considering effects of land management. We used data from two long-term coffee agroforestry experiments in Costa Rica...

Modeling of Long-Term Water Rock Interaction in the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin
Abstract This work focuses on a model of water-rock geochemical interaction and its testing on data from hydrogeological and isotopic research of rates of percolation of ground water in Cenomanian and Turonian aquifers of the Bohemian Cretaceous...

The observed response of Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) NO2 columns to NOx emission controls on power plants in the United States: 2005–2011
Abstract We show that Aura Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) tropospheric column data may be used to assess changes of the emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO x ) from power plants in...

Which is the best solar thermal collection technology for electricity generation in north-west India? Evaluation of options using the analytical hierarchy process
Abstract This study of concentrating solar thermal power generation sets out to evaluate the main existing collection technologies using the framework of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). It encompasses parabolic troughs, heliostat fields,...

Why is CaCO3 not used as an additive in the pelletised chromite pre-reduction process?
Abstract The production of ferrochrome is an energy intensive process. At present, the pelletised chromite pre-reduction process is most likely the ferrochrome production process with the lowest specific energy consumption, i.e. MWh/t ferrochrome...

Spatial Distribution and Risk Assessment of Hg in Topsoil at JPG Gold Mine, China
Abstract The objectives of this study were to characterize the spatial distribution of Hg in topsoil at Jia-Pi-Gou(JPG), a centuried gold mine area, and to evaluate the Hg pollution risks. A total of 28 soil samples were collected by a stratified...

Extreme value prediction via a quantile function model
Abstract Methods for estimating extreme loads are used in design as well as risk assessment. Regression using maximum likelihood or least squares estimation is widely used in a univariate analysis but these methods favour solutions that fit...

Testing Different Topographic Indexes to Predict Wetlands Distribution
Abstract Rural landscapes are characterized by great heterogeneity, thus for any policy of landscape protection and management, the delineation of landscape structures is a prerequisite and the demand for such information at the scale of large...
