[1] Magnitudes of terrestrial (fresh) and marine (saline) sources of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) are estimated for a transect across Indian River Lagoon, Florida. Two independent techniques (seepage meters and pore water Cl concentrations) show terrestrial SGD decreases linearly to around 22 m offshore, and these techniques, together with a model based on the width of the outflow face...

To develop the organic Rankine-vapor compression ice maker driven by solar energy, a thermodynamic model was developed and the effects of generation temperature, condensation temperature, and working fluid types on the system performance were analyzed. The results show that the cooling power per square meter collector and ice production per square meter collector per day depend largely on gener...

Blue light is known to induce suppression of stem elongation. To avoid the complication of blue-light-induced transformation of phytochrome we have adapted the procedure of measuring blue-light-induced suppression of stem elongation in Pisum sativum L. var Alaska grown under continuous red light. The resulting fluence-response curve for suppression of epicotyl elongation measured twenty-four ho...

plants change their environment characteristics and especially soil properties while their growth and adaptation, to develop plant communities. in this study effect of halophyte patches from urmia lack in a vegetation type of salsola nitraria and aeluropus littoralis on chemical and physical properties of soil was investigated. so 4 vegitation patches along 2 transect with the length of 150 met...

A new distance-based estimator for forest regeneration assessment, the mean distance method, was developed by combining ideas and techniques from the wandering quarter method, T-square sampling and the random pairs method. The performance of the mean distance method was compared to conventional 4.05 square meter plot sampling through simulation analysis on 405 square meter blocks of a field sur...

The relationship between the amount of light and the amount of response for any photobiological process can be based on the number of incident quanta per unit time (fluence rate-response) or on the number of incident quanta during a given period of irradiation (fluence-response). Fluence-response and fluence rate-response relationships have been measured for second positive phototropism by s...

The littoral zone of Leuweung Sancang Beach, Garut Regency has very diverse biodiversity, such as hermit crabs. This study aims to determine the distribution patterns and species diversity crabs in Beach. research was conducted from February 2022 June 2022. uses quantitative methods sampling techniques using a 100 meter transect belt which is divided into plots with size 1 x meter. stations use...
