We propose that changes in the lateral pressure gradient at the base of the flow explain the concept of flow relaxation. Within turbidity currents, hydrostatic pressure is increased by the mass of the overlying suspended particles, and since particle concentration decreases from the bed to the top...
And late in December 1944 the Germans took advantage of it. During World War II the Germans were obsessed with destroying Hoover Dam. One plan after the other came on the table. There is a story on the internet that shows up in a half a dozen places about a German attempt to take ...
During the last decade, there is a growing global concern about the rise of antibiotic and multidrug resistant bacteria resulting from the pressure of antibiotic usage1,2. Previous research on antibiotic resistance (AR) was limited in clinical environments, but due to an increase in life-threatenin...
The Xunmei hydrothermal field, located at 26°S along the South Mid-Atlantic Ridge, is an active submarine hydrothermal system underlain by a basaltic substrate. This field comprises two distinct types of basalts: massive basalts, characterized by aphyric to moderately porphyritic textures without la...
