This study investigates the hydrographic processes involved in setting the maximumwintertime sea ice (SI) extent in the Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay. The analysis is based on an ocean and sea ice state estimate covering the summer-to-summer 1996/97 annual cycle. The estimate is a synthesis of in situ and satellite hydrographic and ice data with a regional coupled 1/38 ocean–sea ice model. SI adv...

The Dead Sea area is unique for its combination of natural resources that are unparalleled anywhere else on earth. They include sun rays that are weakened due to the longer path they have to travel to reach the Dead Sea shores, which are 415 m below sea level, and the dispersion of the sun rays on their way by a misty cloud overhanging the sea most of the year. The attenuation is in inverse rel...

An immunological approach, based on both antigen binding tests and radioimmunoassay, has been used for the comparative study of ferredoxin from Halobacterium of the Dead Sea and ferredoxins from a variety of sources. The halophilic ferredoxin was not cross-reactive with the plant, and the mammalian ferredoxins tested. On the other hand, it exhibited up to 80% of antigenic crossreactivity with a...
