Recently ( ) a new source of deep water formation in the Eastern Mediterranean was found in the southern part of the Aegean sea. Till then, the only source of deep water formation in the Eastern Mediterranean was in the Adriatic sea; the rate of the deep water formation of the new Aegean source is , three times larger than the Adriatic source. We develop a simple 3 box-model to study the stabil...

This study describes the pattern of oxygen consumption (Vo2), rectal temperature (Tr), and acral skin temperature (T.) in sleeping and resting (awake) burned children nursed in a thermoneutral environment. Measurements of respiratory gas exchange (Vo2 and carbon dioxide production (Vco2)) were made using an open circuit, flow through system of indirect calorimetry. Tr and T. were monitored cont...

The right to search for truth implies also a duty. One must not conceal any part of what one has discovered to be true. O verview The lithosphere clearly controls the location of volcanism. The nature and volume of the volcan-ism and the presence of 'melting anomalies' or 'hotspots,' however, reflect the intrinsic chemical and petrologic heterogeneity of the upper mantle. Melting anomalies-shal...

Volume 1, The Earth system: physical and chemical dimensions of global environmental change, pp 557–579 Ocean circulation is one of the major elements of climate, moving heat, freshwater, nutrients and dissolved gases. Ocean circulation at the largest spatial scales and long time scales contains many elements that are in common in the different oceans. Understanding the processes that drive the...
