High-resolution vertical sampling and determination of viral and prokaryotic parameters in a deep volcanic lake shows that in the absence of thermal stratification but within light, oxygen, and chlorophyll gradients, host availability empirically is prevalent over the physical and chemical environments and favors lytic over lysogenic "viral life cycles."

dormancy breaking of field maple (acer campestre l.) seed, by gibberllic acid (ga3) at 0, 250, 500 and 1000 ppm in 24 and 48 hours and stratification treatments in moist sand under warm (18-20 °c) and cold (2-4°c) conditions were investigated. effects of ga3 and stratification and their interaction on germination percent (gp) and germination speed (gs) were significant. the highest gp occurred ...

Wetcompression of a fuel aerosol has beenproposed as ameans of creating gas-phasemixtures of involatile diesel-representative fuels andoxidizer + diluent gases for rapid compressionmachine (RCM)experiments. The use of high concentration aerosols (e.g., 0.1 mLfuel/Lgas, 1 10 droplets/Lgas for stoichiometric fuel loading at ambient conditions) can result in droplet–droplet interactions which lead...

background: the aim of this study was that the past five years data were collected to analyze the situation of malaria and health facilities in this area for better understanding malaria problem and to find solutions. methods: in this retrospective study data of the last 5 years were obtained from health center of bandar abbas, published papers and reports, weather forecasting organization of t...

The transportation of pollutants from impervious surfaces during runoff events to receiving water bodies is a serious environmental problem. Summer runoff is also heated by impervious surfaces, causing thermal enrichment in receiving water body systems and degradation of coldwater aquatic ecosystems. End-of-pipe stormwater management facilities that are open to the environment can result in fur...

After a presentation of the functionality of steam turbines of thermal power plants, we present the method of enthalpy difference used for the calculation of the steam turbine efficiency. This is why we present a stratification survey by circuit, by equipment and by organ. The objective is to determine the possible reasons for the deterioration of the heat rate of a thermal power plant at the l...

In this Letter we propose a simple thermal comptonization model to account for the observed properties of the phase lags associated to the “plateau” intervals of GRS 1915+105. By invoking a temperature stratification in a corona and assuming that the optical depth of the comptonizing region increases as the disk inner radius moves inward, we are able to reproduce both the observed colors and ti...
