This work was carried out in two small fishing communities, Barra de Mamanguape and Tramataia, Northeastern Brazil. The aim was to study these traditional fishermen's knowledge and perception about tide and wind classifications, as well as their fishing strategies and techniques. Our research methodology involved various techniques: free interviews and semi-structured ones, guided tours and dir...

BACKGROUND Alkaline tide is the transient increase in blood and urine pH following stimulation of gastric acid secretion. It is attributed to HCO3- release from parietal cells in parallel with H+ secretion. The enzyme carbonic anhydrase is thought to be responsible for HCO3- production from CO2 and OH- in the parietal cell. OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of pretreatment with the carbonic anh...

The main aim of this paper was to classify and analyze the expeditious resource assessment procedure help energy planners system designers dealing with tides tidal currents. Depending on geographical features site be evaluated, reported easiest methods adopt for later working plans, crucial preliminary considerations but supported by in situ measurements a more complex detailed modelling. While...

Abstract. We have developed a ground-based Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS-R) technique for monitoring water levels with comparable precision to standard tide gauges (e.g. pressure transducers) but at fraction of the cost and using commercial products that are straightforward assemble. As opposed geodetic-standard antennas been used in previous GNSS-R literature, we use m...

Objectives: An efficient, safe, affordable and easily accessible measuring instrument for quantitative assessment of bone prior to dental implant placement enables more accurate treatment planning. Costly imaging modalities are neither widely available, nor affordable for some patients. This study sought to assess the efficacy of a newly designed digital bone gauge for measurement of bone width...

Abstract Local projections of future sea-level change are important for understanding climate risks and informing coastal management decisions. Reliable relevant risk information is especially in South Asia, where large populations live low-lying areas at from inundation. We present a new set local selected tide gauge locations Asia. The used to explore the drivers spatial variations Asia over ...
