An unditched salt marsh-creek drainage basin (Holland Glade Marsh, Lewes, Delaware) has a sedimentation rate of 0.5 cm year-l. During normal, storm-free conditions, the creek carries negligible amounts of sand and coarse silt. Of the material in the waters flooding the marsh surface, over 80% disappears from the floodwaters within 12 m of the creek. About one-half of the lost material is theore...

in the present paper, a 3d numerical model has been applied to predict the flow hydrodynamics around power intakes within the dez dam reservoir. the dez dam is a 203 m high, double arch concrete dam which is constructed by italians in 1962. since then, sedimentation in reservoirhas continued and since the dam does not have bottom outlet, the reservoir bed level is raising by a rate of about 2.5...

In the ultracentrifuge, normal human serum shows, in addition to the lipoproteins, three distinct components with sedimentation rates of approximately 4, 7, and 19 Svedberg units (1, 2). Other materials known to be present are obscured by the high concentrations of these major substances and the high diffusion spreading of the boundaries. For example, Edsall (3) has reported a number of additio...

The article considers the results of part research, groundworkss, as well experience gained in implementation project to study core Triassic and Tatar horizons Karachaganak field. This included both direct work with material, conducting a series laboratory studies on it order determine conditions sedimentation, understanding their extent, determining age rocks, qualitative quantitative characte...

The enzyme porphobilinogen synthase (PBGS) can exist in different nonadditive homooligomeric assemblies, and under appropriate conditions, the distribution of these assemblies can respond to ligands such as metals or substrate. PBGS from most organisms was believed to be octameric until work on a rare allele of human PBGS revealed an alternate hexameric assembly, which is also available to the ...

Coral reefs are currently experiencing a number of worsening anthropogenic stressors, with nearshore reefs suffering from increasing sedimentation because of growing human populations and development in coastal regions. In habitats where vision and olfaction serve as the primary sources of information, reduced visual input from suspended sediment may lead to significant alterations in prey fish...

this study was conducted over a three-year period (1998, 1999 and 2000) to evaluate some drought tolerance indices and their relations with sugar yield in some sugar beet genotypes under early season drought and non-drought conditions. the experimental design was a split plot with a randomized complete block. the main plots consisted of two irrigation regimes: non-stress and water stress in ear...

The cytosolic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH, EC 1.2.1.12, GapC) plays an important role in glycolysis by providing the cell with ATP and NADH. Interestingly, despite its glycolytic function in the cytosol, GAPDH was reported to possess additional non-glycolytic activities, correlating with its nuclear, or cytoskeletal localization in animal cells. In transiently transformed me...

Platelet-derived growth factor was purified from fresh platelets by a large-scale procedure not involving the use of SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate). The product, 0.5 mg of platelet-derived growth factor, obtained from about 3 x 1013 platelets migrated as a single component in analytical gel electrophoresis in the presence of SDS and showed no inhomogeneity on sedimentation-equilibrium analysis i...
