The relationship between plant productivity and species richness is one of the most debated and important issues in ecology. Ecologists have found numerous forms of this relationship and its underlying processes. However, theories and proposed drivers ha
Across the stable density stratification of the abyssal ocean, deep dense water is slowly propelled upward by sustained, though irregular, turbulent mixing. The resulting mean upwelling determines large-scale oceanic circulation properties like heat and
Answer to: Explain how a voltaic cell works. Be sure to mention the various parts of the voltaic cell and what they have to do with how it works...
If 1 mol of ice melts at its melting point of 273 K, the entropy change for the ice is 22.0 J/K. If the ice melts in someone s hand at 34 degrees C, what is the change in the entropy of the universe? Explain why the entropy of any substance increases...
Does the formation of FeS from sulfur and iron result in a positive change in the entropy of the system? Explain. For which of the following processes would the entropy change be positive? a. I2(s) \rightarrow I2(aq) b. H2O(l) \rightarrow H2O(s) c. H...
(De Ridder et al., 2014), entry of the tinnitus signal into wider perceptual networks (De Ridder et al., 2013), and a predictive coding model in which tinnitus perception is the interplay of spontaneous synchronous activity and the formation of concordant top-down sensory predictions (Sedley ...
Beyond identifying factors influencing roost site selection, the large aggregations of individuals in single locations may suggest that presence of conspecifics itself also plays a role in the formation of Whimbrel roosts. We highlight the interaction of food and risk landscapes with intraspecific ...
1) Then, what is the purpose of Delta G of solution ? - assuming that the Enthalpy of Solution tells us if a solid will dissolve - meaning mixing occurs ( a spontaneous reaction ), where does ΔG of Solution fit in to all this and what is ΔG of Solution's relationship to the ...
is widely distributed on the eastern Tibetan Plateau, China36. As a dioecious plant,S. paraplesiashows a female-biased sex ratio as well as sexually differentiated responses to abiotic stresses37. We assumed that these ecological and physiological differences could be attributed to sex-specific rep...
Life in the clouds of Venus, if present in sufficiently high abundance, must be affecting the atmospheric chemistry. It has been proposed that abundant Venusian life could obtain energy from its environment using three possible sulfur energy-metabolisms.
