On June 19, 1976, the Viking 1 Orbiter achieved orbital insertion around Mars. On July 20, the Viking 1 Lander soft-landed on the surface of Mars in the Chryse Planitia (22 degrees north, 48 degrees west) becoming the first human-made object to land on Mars. The Viking 2 Orbiter achieved Mars orbital insertion on August 7. On September 3, the Viking 2 soft-landed in Utopia Planitia (44 degrees ...

Nomifensine, an antidepressant used for eight years in Britain, was particularly popular in the north west of England. Haemolytic anaemia was recognised as a rare side effect, but in 1984 a cluster of six cases was referred to the North West Regional Transfusion Centre, reflecting an incidence of 0.006%. These were collected within 18 months and showed variable serological features, indicating ...

The concentrations of 9{)Sr in mammal teeth taken in north-west part of Semipalatinsk Test Site were measured by using imaging plates, The highest concentration detected in the present study was 13Bqig, being comparable with the values previously detected in cow teeth from South Ural region. It suggests that, at least locally, the soil in north-west part of the Test Site is possibly highly cont...

We measured nutrient and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) concentrations from west to east across the northern North Pacific Ocean from station K2 to Ocean Station Papa during September and October 2005. At 2000 m depth, silicate levels increased and dissolved oxygen levels decreased from west to east. This trend was attributed to seawater in the layer flowing from west to east in the northern ...
