Dendrochronology is the science that uses tree-rings dated to their exact year of formation to analyze temporal and spatial patterns of processes in the physical and cultural sciences. There currently is no published record for tree-ring studies using Eastern Red Cedar in the Upper Mississippi River Valley in Wisconsin. Therefore, this study develops a chronology from treerings using Eastern Re...

This paper focuses on an overview of radioactive cesium 137 (quasi-Cs137 included Cs134) contamination of freshwater fish in Fukushima and eastern Japan based on the data published by the Fisheries Agency of the Japanese Government in 2011. In the area north and west of the Fukushima Nuclear plant, freshwater fish have been highly contaminated. For example, the mean of active cesium (quasi-Cs13...

In the United States, nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) populations are derived from two sources: (1) a continuous range expansion from Mexico led to western populations, some of which, particularly along the western Gulf Coast and west side of the Mississippi River delta, exhibit persistently high rates of leprosy infection, and (2) a small group of animals released from captivity i...

the genus alburnoides jeitteles, 1861 in iran is reviewed, and diagnoses are presented for all eight recognized species. alburnoides eichwaldii, a. holciki, a. idignensis, a. namaki, a. nicolausi, a. petrubanarescui, a. qanati and a. tabarestanensis are considered valid and three new species are described: alburnoides coadi sp. n., from namrud river in kavir basin, a. parhami sp. n., from atrak...

The most usual present treatment, however, recognises the western and eastern populations as separate full species, Gorilla gorilla and Gorilla beringei respectively. The eastern and western populations are separated by approximately 1,000 km (Garner and Ryder, 1996). Western and eastern populations can be distinguished based on external features (Groves, 2002) and clear geographic and morpholo...

The rivers from the Himalaya supply large quantities of particulate and dissolved materials to the oceans. Among the various rivers, the Brahmaputra ranks highest in contributing to the sediment budget of the Bay of Bengal. The erosion rates among the sub-basins of the Brahmaputra vary over 1–2 orders of magnitude, the highest being in the Eastern Syntaxis basin which is eroding at an enormousl...

persian dari is a language which has been used not only by the people of madain and western cities on the coast of arvand river but also by the people in eastern cities like balkh and marv . nevertheless most of the researchers of persian language or literature are trying to prove that dari has been a limited language or a dialect of persian belonged to some eastern districts of iran and it has...

Recently published thermochronological and paleoelevation studies in the Grand Canyon region, combined with sedimentary provenance data in both the coastal and interior portions of the North American Cordillera, place important new constraints on the paleohydrological evolution of the southwestern United States. Review and synthesis of these data lead to an interpretation where incision of a la...
