The dynamics of absorption coefficients of CDOM and particles in the St. Lawrence estuarine system: Biogeochemical and physical implications
a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: CDOM Particles Optical properties Absorption Molecular weight Water mass tracer Estuarine mixing Estuary Fjord Absorption spectra of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) and particles were obtained in May 2007 in the St. Lawrence estuary (SLE, Canada), the northwestern Gulf of St. Lawrence (NWG), and the Saguenay Fjord (CDOM only), the main tributary of t...
متن کاملThe alveolar carbon monoxide uptake fraction: a simple, alternative measure of carbon monoxide transfer.
The measurement and interpretation of "diffusing capacity" by either single-breath or steady-state methods are complicated by both technical and conceptual difficulties. The CO uptake fraction is less complex but, as originally described, it is unacceptably sensitive to dead-space ventilation. A modification (the "alveolar CO uptake fraction", UA) largely removes this factor. We have measured U...
متن کاملMathematical models of the uptake of carbon monoxide on hemoglobin at low carbon monoxide levels.
Coburn's differential equation for the uptake of carbon monoxide by hemoglobin and two particular types of solution of this equation were considered and the solutions verified for a group of healthy adults consisting of 73 nonsmoking pedestrians or car passengers exposed to low levels of carbon monoxide as experienced in the city of Lyon. The CO levels at the breathing level and the walking spe...
متن کاملSedimentation, bioturbation, and Hg uptake in the sediments of the estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence
Sedimentation rates and mixing depths have been estimated from the application of a two-layer biodiffusion model to 210Pb profiles in sediment cores collected in the Laurentian Trough in the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence. Sedimentation rates decrease exponentially with distance seaward from 0.70 cm yr21 (0.47 g cm22 yr21) near the head of the Trough to 0.04 cm yr21 (0.03 g cm22 yr21) in the ...
متن کاملSMART ROOM CARBON MONOXIDE MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEM
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is the most abundant air pollutant gas and accumulates rapidly to dangerous concentrations even in areas that seem to be well ventilated. Carbon monoxide detectors/alarm systems exist but people who are old, hearing impaired, partially sighted or heavy sleepers may not get the warning or find it difficult to wake up and get out in the event of dangerous concentration of CO ...
