A numerical model was developed to describe the currents, residence times, salinity patterns, and larval transport in a South Florida lagoonal system. Model forcing included tides, wind, and freshwater inflows prescribed from 4 yrs of recorded observations. Physical and biological performance tests were applied to two hindcasts. Computed tidal currents agreed with observations to within 0.01 m ...

The world's oldest insect endophytic oviposition from the deposits of Mospinka Formation (Upper Bashkirian, Lower Pennsylvanian) Donets Basin is described in paper. There little information on Carboniferous insects. earliest specimens are Upper Moscovian and uppermost part Gzhelian Germany, as well France USA. this article almost 10 million years older than Germany. studied material was collect...

Abstract. The Tunisian coast has been affected in the past by many events of extreme marine submersion (storms and tsunamis). A high-resolution study along two sediment cores taken from lagoon Ghar El Meleh was performed to identify different paleoextreme reconstruct paleoenvironmental changes northeastern part Tunisia during Late Holocene. very sedimentological analysis (granulometric geochemi...

In response to the illicit drug trade that became especially troublesome in the late 1980's and early 1990's, a remarkable community anti-drug movement has formed, with groups becoming active in some of the most afflicted neighborhoods. Armed only with their courage and imagination, citizens have devised a variety of clever strategies and tactics to reclaim their streets and parks from drug tra...

background: in spite of the increased range of inactivity and obesity among iranian adults, insufficient research has been done on environmental factors influencing physical activity. as a result adapting a subjective (self-report) measurement tool for assessment of physical environment in iran is critical. accordingly, in this study neighborhood environment walkability scale (news) was adapted...

A wearable 'helmet' version of the S cone isolating technique was constructed to explore vision at equiluminance. For my high school summer science project, I visited parks and streets while wearing the helmet and report that the helmet appears to have captured the main properties described for the large-scale, more cumbersome stage version.
