Angra Pequena (Lüderitzbucht) and Subaerial Denudation

The ANGRA Neutrino Project

We present the status of the Angra Neutrino project, describing the development of an antineutrino detector aimed to monitor nuclear reactor activity. The experiment will take place at the Brazilian nuclear power plant located in Angra dos Reis. The Angra II reactor, with 4GW of thermal power, will be used as a source of antineutrinos. We expect to observe about one thousand events per day with...

Shear Band and Landslide Dynamics in Submerged and Subaerial Slopes

Geomorphic Controls on Andean Denudation Rates

To predict erosion rates throughout the Andes, we conducted a multiple regression analysis of the sediment discharge from 47 drainage basins in the Bolivian Andes and various topographic, climatologic, and geologic parameters. These mountainous basins are typically large (17–81,000 km; km), often have decades of measurement mean p 11,000 data on daily water and sediment discharge, and display a...

Endothelial dysfunction and denudation in rat aortic allografts.

Clinical evidence suggests that early endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction may predict the development of graft vascular disease. We wished to assess the early functional and morphological changes in the graft endothelium in a commonly used animal model of graft vascular disease, the rat aortic interposition allograft model. To assess graft EC function, regulation of vascular tone by ECs was monit...
