The present study describes the responses of cortisol, prolactin and growth hormone (GH) to emotions elicited during sessions in which an hypnoidal state was induced. The purpose of the study was to provide answers for the following questions: 1) Do sessions with an emotional content have more hormonal surges than baseline, relaxation-only, sessions? 2) Does the induction of a fantasy of pregna...

An extensive analysis of the perturbations induced on node and perigee of LAGEOS and LAGEOS II by solid and ocean Earth tides is carried out in order to assess their influence in the detection of the secular general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect by means of these two satellites. The investigation involves only the terms of degree l = 2 for the solid tides and also the terms of degree l = 3...

Abstract. Coastal flooding is driven by the combination of (high) tide and storm surge, latter being caused strong winds low pressure in tropical extratropical cyclones. The surge astronomical defined as tide. To gain an understanding threat posed coastal to identify areas that are especially at risk, now future, it crucial accurately model inundation. Most models used simulate inundation scale...

Coastal areas are dynamic and complex systems exposed to waves, high tides, storm surges. Often, these densely populated have essential socio-economic values for the region country. Any changes or disruptions can cause a tremendous social burden. Vulnerability Index (CVI) is one of most used straightforward methods assess coastal vulnerability. This paper aims analyse summarise current state pu...

Severe Tropical Cyclones associated with surges frequently hits the coastal region of Bangladesh. For a reliable hydrodynamic model to simulate the severity of such cyclones, it is necessary to incorporate the meteorological and hydrological inputs properly. In order to incorporate the coastlines and the island boundaries properly in the numerical scheme a very fine grid resolution along the co...

The influence of oceanography on abundance patterns of ichthyoplankton was compared at different phases of the tide in the vicinity of an estuarine front in Botany Bay, Australia. Fronts were observed at high, ebb, low and flood tides, but the most conspicuous colour discontinuities were found on ebb and flood tides. Greatest differences in water density were found across the frontal region on ...

Meteor wind data from the first year of operation of the Falkland Islands SuperDARN radar (52 S, 59 W) are used to characterize the atmospheric tides and background winds in the upper mesosphere above the South Atlantic. Strong (>40 m s−1) semidiurnal tides are observed in the winter time and large amplitude (>60 m s−1) bursts of quasi two-day wave activity are seen in January 2011. Data are in...

Abstract Coastal flood risk assessments typically ignore interannual to multidecadal variability stemming from mean sea level, storm surges, and long period tides (i.e. 4.4 year perigean 18.6 nodal cycles), although combined these can lead significant variations in extreme levels (ESL). Here, we examine the effects of ESL on amplification frequencies risks for 17 major U.S. coastal cities. We a...
