Magnetic fabric analyses from two North Atlantic drift deposits provide proxies for determining relative variations in the strength of abyssal flow over the last 10 my. The data show a cessation of current-controlled sedimentation at the shallower Feni Drift (2417 m) at the time of onset of Northern Hemisphere glaciation (2.6 Ma). Drift formation ended nearly 2 my earlier (4.2 Ma) at the deeper...

orumieh lake due to economic, tourism, microclimate effect, agricultural activities have an important role in the northwest of iran. this lake basin area is 52700 km2 with 102 islands, as known a familiar it as known one of the protected areas, with 186 species of birds, and animals. the water of lake is very salty (240 gr in winter and 260gr in summer) and fluctuation of lake water level threa...

Crambe maritima L. is a perennial plant from the Brasicaceae family that grows spontaneously in Romania on beaches of Black Sea. Its tolerance to salt also makes it tolerant soil drought. Therefore, was considered sandy and dry southern part Oltenia region could be favorable for cultivation this plant, known world its food value. Studies show develops high values ​​of osmotic pressure suction f...

Abstract Previous studies have suggested that the quasi-stationary jets, sometimes called “Isoguchi jets” in western North Pacific Ocean, regulate warm and salty conditions transition domain between Subarctic Boundary Front. Here, we show mesoscale eddies interannual/decadal modulations are responsible for Kuroshio water intrusion into domain. A case study using Lagrangian coherent structure su...

A history of halophile research reveals the commitment of scientists to uncovering the secrets of the limits of life, in particular life in high salt concentration and under extreme osmotic pressure. During the last 40 years, halophile scientists have indeed made important contributions to extremophile research, and prior international halophiles congresses have documented both the historical a...

The tongue is a kind of funny organ. From a physiological point of view, you can place solutions on the tongue that will be toxic to most any cell, and the tongue will give information, in a hopefully reversible manner, about the solution’s chemical composition and whether it should be ingested. Remember the first time that you had a drink of vodka or scotch? It really burned. Do you know the r...
