Modulation of short surface ripples by long surface or internal waves by a cascade mechanism is considered. At the first stage, the orbital velocity of the long wave (LW) adiabatically modulates an intermediate length nonlinear gravity wave (GW), which generates a bound (parasitic) capillary wave (CW) near its crest in a wide spatial frequency band. Due to strong dependence of the CW amplitude ...

The Las Vegas Wash (LW) delivers tertiary-treated municipal wastewater effluent, nonpotable shallow groundwater seepage, and runoff from the urbanized Las Vegas Valley to Las Vegas Bay (LX) of Lake Mead. To investigate the potential for contaminants in LW influent to produce effects indicative of endocrine disruption in vivo, adult male and female common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were exposed in c...

Glycosylation is one of the most common eukaryotic post-translational modifications, and aberrant glycosylation has been linked to many diseases. However, glycosylation and glycome analysis is a significantly challenging task. Although several lines of evidence have indicated that protein glycosylation is defective in Alzheimer's disease (AD), only a few studies have focused on AD glycomics. Th...

Purpose Prosthetic mesh is widely used for inguinal hernia repair; however, pain and stiffness can develop. This study was a prospective, multicenter, single-blind, randomized trial to assess postoperative pain and quality of life according to mesh type after inguinal hernia repair. Methods Forty-seven patients who underwent Lichtenstein repair for unilateral inguinal hernia with prosthetic m...

Semi-permeable sediment traps are designed to retain during large floods and enable transport continuity ordinary by combining two barriers with a guiding channel. During floods, not only but also wood (LW) can be transported, that may block the inclined bar screen (mechanical barrier) inhibit transport. The design of has been tested LW. We conducted first set simplified flume experiments study...

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenylethers (PBDEs) and hexachlorobenzene (HCB), bioaccumulate in marine ecosystems. Top predators contain high levels of POPs their lipid-rich tissues, which may result adverse effects on reproductive, immune endocrine functions. Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are among the smallest cetac...

Labyrinth Weir (LW) is a popular control structure that passes significantly higher flow rate compared to the linear weirs. In order approach optimal design of trapezoidal LW, multi-objective problem defined concurrently minimize LW consumed concrete volume and maximize its discharge capacity. Simultaneously, Radial Basis function Neural Networks (RBFNN) designed used for estimating coefficient...

The present study estimated hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) as a sum of three main isomers (α, β, and γ) and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) in African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) from Gdansk Zoo and in their sole food, Baltic herring (Clupea harengus), from Gdansk Bay. The average concentration of HBCD in whole herring was 22.0 ± 9.9 ng/g lw, whereas TBBPA was approximately 10-fold lower (2.3 ±...
