Extreme climatic events represent an emerging threat to mangroves globally14. These events can be driven by ocean-atmospheric processes, such as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) which can lead to significant changes in sea level, rainfall and temperature...
Renewable Energy From the Deep Ocean: A basic 4-minute introduction from Offshore Infrastructure Associates, Inc, with good animations, based on Puerto Rico as an example location. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion: Lockheed Martin: A longer, 14-minute introduction that includes details of Lockheed's...
Environmentalists sometimes invite ridicule by taking measures like these to extremes; and the idea that "every little helps" the planet is sometimes a cruel delusion: installing a hopelessly inefficient, rooftop, micro-wind turbine that consumes more electricity than it produces is an example of ...
An early stage of COVID-19 characterized by severe hypoxemia but relatively minimal parenchymal involvement1,3could be recapitulated in this model with dramatic reductions to vascular resistance in the injured regions. To replicate the reported values forFshuof 50% andFshu:Finjof 3 (implyingFinjo...
Making prototypes of airplanes or space rockets is an example of a much broader use for 3D printing: visualizing how new designs will look in three dimensions. We can use things like virtual reality for that, of course, but people often prefer things they can see and touch. Increasingly, 3D...
Mussels, which occupy important positions in marine ecosystems, attach tightly to underwater substrates using a proteinaceous holdfast known as the byssus, which is tough, durable, and resistant to enzymatic degradation. Although various byssal proteins
The effect of ketamine on the EEG was similar for all recording channels (see Fig.1Afor an example response to 12 mg/kg ketamine). The latency to onset and the total power of the EEG response were dose- and route-dependent (Fig.2; Supporting Information (SI) TableS1). Differential ph...
If one series leads another series with less than half a cycle length, then we will have persistent rotational direction of the series trajectories in the phase plot.Figure 2a,b give an example with x(t) = sin t and y(t) = sin (ωt + φ), φ = + 0.785 for time steps 1 to 9...
