How River Rocks Round: Resolving the Shape-Size Paradox
River-bed sediments display two universal downstream trends: fining, in which particle size decreases; and rounding, where pebble shapes evolve toward ellipsoids. Rounding is known to result from transport-induced abrasion; however many researchers argue that the contribution of abrasion to downstream fining is negligible. This presents a paradox: downstream shape change indicates substantial a...
متن کاملPerceptions, data, and river management: Lessons from the Mekong River
[1] Workshops to identify transboundary and basin-wide environmental issues and a diagnostic study by consultants identified priority environmental concerns of resource managers in the lower Mekong River basin. The issues identified, in priority order, were water quality, reduction in dry season flows, sedimentation, fisheries decline, wetland degradation, and flooding. An analysis of the avail...
متن کاملChromosome ends teach unexpected lessons on DNA damage signalling.
The ATM/ATR-dependent checkpoint kinases restrain mitotic entry when cells accumulate unrepaired DNA doublestrand breaks (DSBs) or when telomeres become uncapped. New work by Thanasoula et al (2012) reveals an intricate network of checkpoint interactions in the wake of telomere uncapping through removal of TRF2 or POT1, providing compelling evidence that the mechanism of G2/ M checkpoint activa...
متن کاملWhat lessons can hydraulic fracturing teach CCS about social acceptance?
As with many technologies, carbon capture and storage (CCS) faces social acceptance challenges that can impact the pace of its development and deployment. Previous studies on the social acceptance of CCS have tended to rely on case studies of pilot projects or surveys of decision makers and the general public. Here, we take a different approach, using real world data about the social acceptance...
