Geothermal Energy Transport in Recent Volcanism Areas (kamchatka and Kurile Islands ) : Some Examples and Conceptual Model

Geothermal energy transported to earth surface through volcanoes and hydrothermal systems. Based on numerical model analysis of deep drilling and exploitation data of some Kamchatka and Kurile Islands geothermal reservoirs , and heat and mass flow rates estimations of some Kamchatka volcanoes , the following conceptual model of geothermal energy transport is suggested : if magma trapped in uppe...

Superoxide dismutase: master and commander?

I nhaled nitric oxide (NO) has long been known to be an effective pulmonary vasodilator in the normal pulmonary vasculature. In the classical NO signalling pathway, it activates soluble guanylate cyclase in the cytoplasm of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, leading to the production of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which then activates protein kinase G (PKG). PKG, acting through se...

Age Specific Survival Rates of Steller Sea Lions at Rookeries with Divergent Population Trends in the Russian Far East

After a dramatic population decline, Steller sea lions have begun to recover throughout most of their range. However, Steller sea lions in the Western Aleutians and Commander Islands are continuing to decline. Comparing survival rates between regions with different population trends may provide insights into the factors driving the dynamics, but published data on vital rates have been extremely...

Commander S — The shell as a browser

Commander S is a new approach to interactive Unix shells based on interpretation of command output and cursor-oriented terminal programs. The user can easily refer to the output of previous commands when composing new command lines or use interactive viewers to further explore the command results. Commander S is extensible by plug-ins for parsing command output and for viewing command results i...
