The Discovery of Stromatolites Developing at 3570 m above Sea Level in a High-Altitude Volcanic Lake Socompa, Argentinean Andes
We describe stromatolites forming at an altitude of 3570 m at the shore of a volcanic lake Socompa, Argentinean Andes. The water at the site of stromatolites formation is alkaline, hypersaline, rich in inorganic nutrients, very rich in arsenic, and warm (20-24°C) due to a hydrothermal input. The stromatolites do not lithify, but form broad, rounded and low-domed bioherms dominated by diatom fru...
متن کاملSelected contribution: High-altitude natives living at sea level acclimatize to high altitude like sea-level natives.
Sea-level (SL) natives acclimatizing to high altitude (HA) increase their acute ventilatory response to hypoxia (AHVR), but HA natives have values for AHVR below those for SL natives at SL (blunting). HA natives who live at SL retain some blunting of AHVR and have more marked blunting to sustained (20-min) hypoxia. This study addressed the question of what happens when HA natives resident at SL...
متن کاملMulti-task Performance at Sea-level and High Altitude
Warfighter exposure to high terrestrial altitude continues to be a reality for the modern fighting force. Understanding the negative effects of altitude on cognitive performance is essential as the cognitive demands of many warfighting tasks are becoming increasingly complex. To date, little research has investigated the performance of multiple cognitive tasks in a high altitude environment. Th...
متن کاملA Numerical Simulation of Inspiratory Airflow in Human Airways during Exercise at Sea Level and at High Altitude
At high altitudes, the air pressure is much lower than it is at sea level and contains fewer oxygen molecules and less oxygen is taken in at each breath. This requires deeper and rapid breathing to get the same amount of oxygen into the blood stream compared to breathing in air at sea level. Exercises increase the oxygen demand and make breathing more difficult at high altitude. In this study, ...
متن کاملSimulation of High-Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) above Sea Surface
High-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) radiated from both primary and secondary currents, which are induced by a nuclear explosion, is computed by using the Jefimenko’s equation. The effects of geomagnetic field is considered in computing the primary current, and the rough sea surface is considered in computing the reflected electric field in the frequency domain. The waveforms of HEMP near...
