5 Some of the largest submarine canyons in the world incise the eastern Bering Sea shelf break, 6 including Bering, Pribilof, Zhemchug, Pervenets and Navarin canyons. In 2012, the North 7 Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC) received testimony from environmental 8 organizations to protect coral, sponge and other benthic habitat of fish and crab species in two of 9 these canyons (Pribilof ...

The role canyons play in abyssal mixing is discussed, with a focus on the issue of low-frequency flow over sills and associated overturning instability as opposed to tidally generated mixing. Flow through several deep canyons on the mid-ocean ridge is reviewed and some global consequences are discussed.

A 1-D canopy interface model (CIM) has been developed recently and integrated in the meso-scale meteorological WRF v3.5 model in order to improve the surface representation. One of the objectives of such a model is to prepare for the coupling of micro-scale models with meso-scale models so as to improve building energy consumption estimates at the urban scale as well as improve meteorological v...

A city’s microclimate is greatly impacted by urbanization. The ratio of building height to street width affects the thermal properties urban canyons. This characteristic one main elements that control radiation emitted and how much solar absorbed, causing air temperature be greater than in rural areas (urban heat island effect). aim this study examine effect variations housing buildings on layo...

Two South Australian canyons, one shelf-incising (du Couedic) and one slope-limited (Bonney) were compared for macrofaunal patterns on the shelf and slope that spanned three water masses. It was hypothesized that community structure would (H1) significantly differ by water mass, (H2) show significant regional differences and (H3) differ significantly between interior and exterior of each canyon...

Path gain and effective directional in azimuth urban canyons from actual rooftop base station sites are characterized based on a massive data set of 3000 links 12 streets two cities, with over 21 million individual continuous wave power measurements at 28 GHz using vertically polarized antennas. Large street-to-street path variation is found, median street varying 30 dB similar distances. Cover...

Stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy is used to generate structural and chemical three-dimensional images of native skin. We employed SRS microscopy to investigate the microanatomical features of skin and penetration of topically applied materials. Image depth stacks are collected at distinct wavelengths corresponding to vibrational modes of proteins, lipids, and water in the skin. We o...
