[1] A long-standing challenge for hydrologists has been a lack of observational data on global-scale basin hydrological behavior. With observations from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission, hydrologists are now able to study terrestrial water storage for large river basins (>200,000 km2), with monthly time resolution. Here we provide results of a time series model of ...

Editorial basin news is the international newsletter of basin, the building advisory service and information network. Number of copies: 2200 Cover Photo: CEVE: Housing construction through mutual aid in Argentina The views expressed in basin news and in the advertisements are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the publisher.

The topography associated with the fundamental crustal dichotomy in much of eastern Mars can be largely ascribed to a single event: the very large impact which produced the Utopia Basin. Subsequent internal and surficial processes have been unable to remove the topographic signature of this basin. In particular, endogenic processes appear to have been ineffective in contributing to the basic di...

One Case of primary malignant lvmphuma of the Thyroid is presented this article. The primilry lym­phoma of the thvroid gland 1s very rare. All reports agree that the distinction clinically and grossly be­tween lymphoma and undifferentiated carcinoma is extremely difficult.  The (qnphoma of thyroid is often associated with Hashimoto disease. The treatment of the primary m.ilignar:t lymphoma of ...

By treatment of Bacillus subtilis MO-101-P spoA- met thr- su- with ethyl methanesulfonate, a strong suppressor strain of nonsense mutations, B. subtilis MO-101-P spoA- [met-]+thr- su+44, was isolated. This strain does not suppress phage phi 29 mutant susB47, selected on a B. subtilis strain containing the su+3 suppressor isolated by Georgopoulos. A revertant from this mutant, susB610, was isola...

Morrowan-age units in the Permian Basin appear to show a “second-order” transgression from siliciclastic fluvial-deltaic to shallow-marine and subsequently to carbonate deposition. In general, Morrowan-age siliciclastics dominate deposition in the west of the Permian Basin, while carbonate deposition dominates in the east. The predominance of carbonate facies in the east is due to a lack of sil...

This paper describes long-term hydrologic response within a rapidly developing watershed in the western suburbs of Washington, DC, within the Chesapeake Bay drainage basin. Data consist of up to 24 years of observed rainfall, basin discharge, and land use/land cover (LULC) from four headwater basins of the Occoquan River in northern Virginia. Basin outlets are monitored for storm and nonstorm f...

We study the earthquake response of the Zevulun Valley basin, underlying northern Israel‘s largest urban area with two-dimensional viscoelastic seismic modeling of a detailed geological section. We found that amplification of the horizontal vibrations, the ratio of basin to no-basin response spectra, correlates with basin depth. In the deepest portion of the basin (Qishon graben) long periods (...

Abstract The reduced Hamiltonian system on T∗(SU(3)/SU(2)) is derived from a Riemannian geodesic motion on the SU(3) group manifold parameterised by the generalised Euler angles and endowed with a bi-invariant metric. Our calculations show that the metric defined by the derived reduced Hamiltonian flow on the orbit space SU(3)/SU(2) ≃ S5 is not isometric or even geodesically equivalent to the s...

The e€ects of basin size on low̄ow stream chemistry and subsurface contact time were examined for a part of the Neversink River watershed in southern New York State. Acid neutralizing capacity (ANC), the sum of base cation concentrations (SBC), pH and concentrations of total aluminum (Al), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and silicon (Si) were measured during low stream ̄ow at the outlets of neste...
