Shelf–basin exchange in the western Arctic was evaluated by use of water-column analyses of Ra/ Ra ratios and the first measurements of the short-lived Ra (T1/2 1⁄4 3.64 d) in the Arctic. During the 2002 shelf–basin interaction (SBI) program, excess Ra was detected over the shelf but was not found seaward of the shelf-break. Similarly, the Ra/ Ra ratio dropped rapidly from the shelf across the ...

The thinning dynamics of a liquid neck before break-up, as may happen when a drop detaches from a faucet or a capillary, follows different rules and dynamic scaling laws depending on the importance of inertia, viscous stresses, or capillary forces. If now the thinning neck reaches dimensions comparable to the thermally excited interfacial fluctuations, as for nanojet break-up or the fragmentati...

Individual protein binding sites on DNA can be measured in bits of information. This information is related to the free energy of binding by the second law of thermodynamics, but binding kinetics appear to be inaccessible from sequence information since the relative contributions of the on- and off-rates to the binding constant, and hence the free energy, are unknown. However, the on-rate could...

Targeted genome editing has become a powerful genetic tool for studying gene function or for modifying genomes by correcting defective genes or introducing genes. A variety of reagents have been developed in recent years that can generate targeted double-stranded DNA cuts which can be repaired by the error-prone, non-homologous end joining repair system or via the homologous recombination-based...

Boreal tree species are excellent tools for studying tolerance to climate change. Bud phenology is a trait, which is highly sensitive to environmental fluctuations and thus useful for climate change investigations. However, experimental studies of bud phenology under simulated climate change outdoors are deficient. We conducted a multifactorial field experiment with single (T, UVA, UVB) and com...

It is effective to open the bus-coupler circuit breaker in case of a short-circuit fault. A fast vacuum (FVCB) an ideal due its high velocity. The objective this study was develop and test 252 kV/2500 A-40 kA multi-break FVCB. kV FVCB contained 12 units. Each phase consisted four units connected series. unit had electromagnetic repulsion mechanism with average opening velocity reaching 6.5 m/s....
