The Turkish Straits Sea Area comprises the Istanbul, Canakkale Straits, and Marmara Sea. area is most essential natural waterway connecting continents of Asia Europe. However, as May 2021, it polluted with Mucilage which a slippery mass microorganisms mostly clustered together, covering large areas, mainly in locally Straits. Unicellular organisms release fatty acids from body under stressful e...

The term ‘cool’ is widely used expression in popular culture. This word is prefixed liberally with anything including people, behavior, place and brands. Notwithstanding ambiguity about what it stands there is complete clarity that it certainly adds value. ‘Cool’ in this perspective is precious resource which can be used in brand building. The authors’ exploration into its genesis and meaning r...

In environments isolated from solar radiation, diverse microbial populations and ecosystems are sustained by the chemical energy supplied from Earth!s interior. The most outstanding example is a deep-sea hydrothermal vent, which discharges enormous amounts of reductive energy in the form of reduced sulfur compounds, H2, CH4, and reduced metals during magma degassing and hydrothermal reactions w...

The shallow submarine eruption which took place in October 10(th) 2011, 1.8 km south of the island of El Hierro (Canary Islands) allowed the study of the abrupt changes in the physical-chemical properties of seawater caused by volcanic discharges. In order to monitor the evolution of these changes, seven oceanographic surveys were carried out over six months (November 2011-April 2012) from the ...

The increase of water temperature, due to thermal discharges from two nuclear power stations, was one of the most significant environmental changes since 1982 in the Daya Bay, located in the north of the South China Sea. This study investigates the long-term (1982-2012) environmental changes in Daya Bay in response to the increase of water temperature, via comprehensively interpreting and analy...

Ecosystem uptake and transfer processes of Sellafield-derived radiocarbon (14C) within the Irish Sea were examined. Highly variable activities in sediment, seawater and biota indicate complex 14C dispersal and uptake dynamics. All east basin biota exhibited 14C enrichments above ambient background while most west basin biota had 14C activities close to background, although four organisms includ...

In the studies of radiological assessment, 137Cs is the most important radioactive contaminant, produced from the atmospheric bomb tests, discharges from nuclear reprocessing plants and the Chernobyl reactor accident. The systems most commonly used for the in situ monitoring of γ-radiation in seawater, are based on NaI(Tl) detectors, which are characterized by high detection efficiency and low ...

The North Cotentin area (Normandy, France) hosts several nuclear facilities among which the AREVA reprocessing plant of La Hague is responsible for controlled discharges of liquid radioactive wastes into the marine environment. The resulting increase in radioactivity is very small compared to natural radioactivity. However, concerns about environment protection prompted the scientific community...

The numerical simulation of the water temperature in the Rı́o de la Plata River and Montevideo’s Bay was done using the numerical model of finite elements RMA-10 in its 2D vertical integrated mode. Parameters involved in the formulations of thermal exchange with the atmosphere were adjusted using measurements of water temperature in several locations of the water body. After calibrating the mode...
