Alterations in methane concentration in the water column of aquatic systems is closely linked to the processes of production and consumption of this gas, i.e., methanogenesis and methanotrophy respectively. The aim of this research is to evaluate methane dynamics through diurnal variation in the concentration of this gas in the water column of two lakes differing in trophic status at the campus...

Justificativa e Objetivos Portadores de doença arterial coronária (DAC) apresentam maior morbi-mortal idade per i -operatór ia em cirurg ias não-cardíacas. Exames laboratoriais específicos são aliados importantes do exame clínico e devem ser incluídos no arsenal propedêutico para avaliação e preparo desses pacientes.

DESIGN Prospective clinical interventional study. SETTING Internal medicine department (70 beds) of the hospital of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. PARTICIPANTS Nine junior physi...

Online trackers compile profiles on users for targeting ads, customizing websites, and selling users’ information. In this paper, we report on the first detailed study of the perceived benefits and risks of tracking—and the reasons behind them—conducted in the context of users’ own browsing histories. Prior work has studied this in the abstract; in contrast, we collected browsing histories from...

The potential for using airborne electromagnetic (AEM) methods for measuring water depth has been demonstrated from data acquired from several surveys over shallow coastal waters in Australia. These AEM surveys were undertaken using both fixed-wing time-domain and helicopter (time and frequency domain) commercial systems. Some survey data was also interpreted to delineate the bedrocksediment bo...

As an object moves through space, it creates a track (or path) representing the object’s past and present position and associated attributes. If data capture fails, then positions along the tracks are unknown. The particular problem we address in this paper is to create tracks of moving objects with missing data. We implement and test two techniques that create continuous tracks of two primate ...

I shall argue in this paper that it should.1 To begin with, I shall defend (CP) against several criticisms that have been launched against it. These criticisms are of two kinds, which I shall call internal and external respectively. Internal objections are that a theory that includes (CP) fails to give an account of what it is rational to believe that is satisfactory by its own standards. In pa...

We present results of a 45-participant laboratory study investigating the usability of tools to limit online behavioral advertising (OBA). We tested nine tools, including tools that block access to advertising websites, tools that set cookies indicating a user’s preference to opt out of OBA, and privacy tools that are built directly into web browsers. We interviewed participants about OBA, obse...

Calvinists typically appeal to Romans 9 to support their theology of divine election. In particular, they assert that Romans 9 teaches that God unconditionally elects individuals to be saved. By "unconditionally" they mean that God, in eternity past, freely chooses specific individuals whom he will save (Eph 1:4) and that his choice is not based on their foreseen faith or effort (Rom 9:16). God...
