Abstract This paper presents new laboratory-scale numerical simulations of density-driven exchange flows generated across an idealised, submerged sill obstruction under both non-rotating and rotating frames reference using the Bergen Ocean Model (BOM), a three-dimensional general ocean circulation model. Initial BOM are compared directly with previous laboratory data obtained in large-scale cha...

Fjords play an important role in carbon cycling and sequestration, but the burial of organic matter sediments strongly depends on composition macrobenthic communities. We studied three deep, sub-Arctic fjords located northern Norway to assess community differentiation neighbouring underlying environmental drivers. The have relatively deep depositional basins (370–570 m), they differ sill depth ...

the present study was conducted to investigate how efl learners with distinct levels of emotional intelligence might benefit from critical thinking-based instruction and use different language learning strategies. a further concern of this study was to investigate the relationship among critical thinking, language learning strategy, and emotional intelligence of efl learners. to this end, 88 ef...

OBJECTIVES To simplify the approach and diagnosis of alar base reduction, suggest a treatment algorithm, and evaluate the long-term outcomes of 3 different techniques used separately or in conjunction with one another. DESIGN Retrospective review of 124 patients seen in a private practice by a single surgeon. Patients ranged in age from 15 to 59 years (mean age, 30.4 years). Patients were und...

[1] The Sulu Sea, isolated from the neighboring ocean below 570 m, is nearly isothermal below 1250 m but with a marked salinity increase with depth. The source of the deep Sulu Sea water has been attributed to South China Sea water overflowing the 570 m topographic sill of Panay Strait. However, the Panay overflow (estimated as 0.32 × 10 m/sec) is an unlikely source for the saltier water Sulu S...

The Evaluation of the HUD Lead-Based Paint Hazard Control Grant Program (Evaluation) was a HUD-funded study of the effectiveness of lead hazard control (LHC) treatments conducted by 14 grantees in communities across the country. A stratified random sampling scheme was used to select treated units at four grantee sites for continued environmental assessment at 6 years post-intervention. The stud...
