Using stable isotope tracers to assess hydrological flow paths, residence times and landscape influences in a nested mesoscale catchment
δ18O measurements in precipitation and stream waters were used to investigate hydrological flow paths and residence times at nested spatial scales in the mesoscale (233 km2) River Feugh catchment in the northeast of Scotland over the 2001–2002 hydrological year. Precipitation δ18O exhibited strong seasonal variation, which although significantly damped within the catchment, was reflected in str...
متن کاملUse of stable isotopes to study carbohydrate and fat metabolism at the whole-body level.
The present review discusses the advantages and limitations of using stable-isotope tracers to assess carbohydrate and fat metabolism at the whole-body level. One advantage of stable- (v. radioactive-) isotope tracers is the relative ease with which the location of a label within a molecule can be determined using selected-ion-monitoring GC-mass spectrometry (SIM-GC-MS). This technique minimize...

Sediment sources fingerprinting is needed as an autonomous tool for erosion prediction, validation of soil erosion models, monitoring of sediment budget and consequently for selecting soil conservation practices and sediment control methods at the catchment scale. Apportioning of eroded-soil into multiple sources using natural tracers is an integrated approach in soil erosion and sediment studi...
متن کاملUses of stable isotopes in clinical diagnosis and research in the paediatric population.
The landmark experiments of Schoenheimer and Rittenberg in the 1930s provided the scientific foundation for the ensuing development and application of stable isotope techniques in clinical diagnosis and research. Stable isotopes are non-radioactive atoms of the same chemical element, which diVer only in their number of neutrons. Many elements also have radioactive (non-stable) isotopes. Aspects...
متن کاملApplications of stable, nonradioactive isotope tracers in in vivo human metabolic research.
The human body is in a constant state of turnover, that is, being synthesized, broken down and/or converted to different compounds. The dynamic nature of in vivo kinetics of human metabolism at rest and in stressed conditions such as exercise and pathophysiological conditions such as diabetes and cancer can be quantitatively assessed with stable, nonradioactive isotope tracers in conjunction wi...
