Caffeine has been suggested as a chemical indicator for domestic wastewater in freshwater systems, although it is not included in water quality monitoring programs. The Third Fork Creek watershed in Durham, NC, is highly urbanized, with a history of receiving untreated wastewater from leaking and overflowing sanitary sewers. The poor water quality originating in the Third Fork Creek watershed t...

Beaver dams tend to increase habitat heterogeneity by breaking up streams into lentic and lotic sections. I investigated the impact of beaver dams on macroinvertebrates in and near Cart Creek in Newbury, MA. I found that the high spatial density of dams on this small creek suppresses aquatic species diversity, but the ponds might be increasing the species diversity of terrestrial macroinvertebr...

In previous years, studies h.;.ve been conducted on several tributaries of Otsego Lake and the upper Susquehanna River that analyzed the concentrations offecal coliforms. a group of bacteria found in the intestines ofwarm blooded animals and thus indic' ve offecal contamination. Research was conducted for the duration of the SUIll:.ler ,f 1996 on the upper Susquehanna River, Hayden Creek, Shado...

Mumbai, a megacity of India, and its adjacent marine environment, though heavily stressed from various anthropogenic interferences, harbor approximatley 146 km(2) of mangrove cover. Manori creek, in the close vicinity of Mumbai, sustains relatively better mangrove formations. A creek habitat had been evaluated for its biological and environmental characteristics, and is compared with similar bu...

Questions of biotic and environmental change during deposition of the Upper Maastrichtian Hell Creek Formation require a robust and replicable system for intraformational correlation of fossil localities. In this paper, we present a carbon isotope chemostratigraphic curve based on terrestrial organic carbon. Data were taken from a complete measured section spanning the full 93 m of the Hell Cre...

Kim, Sun-Hoi. 2002. The metrical dependency of tone placement in Optimality Theory. Studies in Phonetics, Phonology and Morphology 8.1. 17-38. In this paper, I examine the metrical dependency of tone placement in OT. In Creek and Shingazidja, the determination of tone placement heavily draws on the special relationship between high tone and the metrically prominent position in the prosodic doma...

The Gorean snapper, Lutanus goreensis is an important component of artisanal fisheries and trawl landings in the Gulf of Guinea. Despite its economic importance, there is a dearth of information on size structure and life history strategies of the species. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to provide baseline data on the life stages, exploitation status and habitat use for the specie...

The Jatadharmohan creek lies between Mahanadi and Devi Rivers along the Orissa coast and it is separated from the sea by an elongated sand spit. It was proposed to mine a volume of 15 x 10 m of sand from the creek for land filling, but maintaining the spit intact. For this, the stability of sand spit is studied with different criteria. The results confirm that the creek mouth is a near permanen...

Anthropogenic inputs of nitrogen from human sewage are a central concern in urban watershed management. However, identifying the locations of these inputs, whether from improperly functioning or ill-maintained septic tanks or from leaking sewer lines, is difficult. We used nitrogen stable isotope analysis of aquatic food webs as indicators of sewage-derived nitrogen in Valley Creek watershed. S...
