Groundwater Dynamic and Its Interrelationship with River Water of Bandung Basin Using Environmental Isotopes (18O, 2H, 14C)

Effect of 2H and 18O water isotopes in kinesin-1 gliding assay

We show for the first time the effects of heavy-hydrogen water ((2)H2O) and heavy-oxygen water (H2 (18)O) on the gliding speed of microtubules on kinesin-1 coated surfaces. Increased fractions of isotopic waters used in the motility solution decreased the gliding speed of microtubules by a maximum of 21% for heavy-hydrogen and 5% for heavy-oxygen water. We also show that gliding microtubule spe...

Hydrogeological Conceptual Model of Groundwater from Carbonate Aquifers Using Environmental Isotopes (18O, 2H) and Chemical Tracers: A Case Study in Southern Latium Region, Central Italy

The present work provides hydrochemical and stable isotope data and their interpretations for 54 springs and 20 wells, monitored from 2002 to 2006, in the Southern Latium region of Central Italy to identify flow paths, recharge areas and hydrochemical processes governing the evolution of groundwater in this region. The hydrogeological conceptual model of the carbonate aquifers of southern Latiu...

Environmental Isotopes in Groundwater Studies

Stable isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen in the Truckee River-Pyramid Lake surface-water system, 2. A predictive model of Î ́18O and Î ́2H in Pyramid Lake

A physically based model of variations in WO and 6*H in Pyramid Lake is presented. For inputs, the model uses measurements of liquid water inflows and outflows and their associated isotopic compositions and a set of meteorological data (radiative fluxes, air temperature, relative humidity, and windspced). The model simulates change of lake volume, thermal and isotopic stratification, evaporatio...

Identifying Seasonal Groundwater Recharge Using Environmental Stable Isotopes

In this study, the stable isotope values of oxygen and hydrogen were used to identify the seasonal contribution ratios of precipitation to groundwater recharge in the Hualien River basin of eastern Taiwan. The differences and correlations of isotopes in various water bodies were examined to evaluate the groundwater recharge sources for the Hualian River basin and the interrelations between grou...
