3). Because pond A1 always contains mine water, even when Hope Shaft is not being pumped, the closed-loop system can be used at any time of the day. The water temperatures and levels are continuously logged in the 1st aeration pond (A1, logger 1 in Fig. 3), the balancing pond (B,...
The bonds formed during gelation are initially weak. Therefore, ageing is often required for the bonds in the network to strengthen and for mechanical stability to be achieved [165]. The gel eventually needs to be dried and heat-treated to obtain the final dense thin coatings [9]. Download:...
During the melting phase, our simulation monitors the volume-based size distribution of lithic particles, initially embedded in the layers. Particles smaller than 1 μm remain indefinitely suspended in the liquid water, leading to a turbid or 'muddy' mixture. The flow of these particles during th...
The temple of Olympian Zeus is located a few hundred meters from downtown Athens, south of the Acropolis. Like the Parthenon, this Greek monument is entirely built in white marble and is remarkable for its 15 Corinthian columns of 17 meters (initially, it had 104 columns!). Although its fo...
The origin of translation is critical for understanding the evolution of life, including the origins of life. The canonical genetic code is one of the most
Each model was initially evaluated including all possible interactions, with non-significant interactions (all with p-values above 0.15) being dropped in the final reduced models, with the exception of the interaction between year and MPA status (see77). The year-by-MPA interaction was retained ...
A shell from a blue-grey clay layer in a nearby excavated pond dates to ca. 13,600 (TO 9896) years ago (Appendix 1). The identification of the shell as a Mask Limpet (Tectura persona), an intertidal species, may be in error as RSL is interpreted to be much higher at this time. ...
[8,20–22]. These TRIM proteins can block viral infection by different mechanisms, as revealed by the functional characterization of TRIM5α, TRIM19 and TRIM25. A virus-specific interaction has been described for TRIM5α and TRIM19. TRIM5α was initially identified in rhesus macaques as the...
layers. The image size is45×45×4pixels for all the four datasets. The length of the time series depends on the technical limitations of the simulated instruments. DESI-DOT, LSST-wide, and DES-deep time series contain 14 samples for each band, while DES-wide contains 7 samples for each...
This separation is caused by the mentioned above two fluxes of the sub-populations, which either grow from the initially small sizes to the medium ones or “in unlucky case” decrease and disappear. Actually, the rate of evolution with fast changes of the masses after very few acts of the ...
