The rise of an effluent emerging from the diffusers of the submarine sewage outfall of a small town (15000 PE) is numerically simulated with a model of initial dilution. Results were evaluated using the vertical distribution of faecal coliforms that were analyzed for two field surveys at the central position. In addition to that, the overturning length scale was calculated from vertical profile...

The ability to track the dynamics of processes in natural water bodies on a global scale, and at a resolution that enables highly localised behaviour to be visualized, is an ideal scenario for understanding how local events can influence the global environment. While advances in in-situ chem/bio-sensing continue to be reported, costs and reliability issues still inhibit the implementation of la...

We analyse the North Atlantic circulation by combining data from ARGO profiling buoys and satellite altimetry measurements into an inverse finite-element ocean circulation model. The model solution is consistent with ocean dynamics and approximate conservation of temperature and salinity. The ocean circulation is analysed separately for the years 2005 and 2006. Temperature and salinity fields f...

in order to evaluate the morphological changes of rice seedlings (variety of neda and fajr) under salinity management in 1394 was conducted in islamic azad university, ayatollah amoli. this factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with two genotypes (varieties neda and fajr) in four salinity levels (zero, 40, 80 and 120 mm sodium chloride) and was performed in triplicate. results ...

To control the quality of reverse osmosis (RO) product water and reduce operational costs and environmental impacts by increasing the system’s energy efficiency, it is necessary to identify the influence of process parameters on energy consumption and permeate water quality. This paper introduces a case study focused on the application of Design of Experiments (DOE) method in an industrial-scal...

[1] A new World Ocean atlas of monthly temperature and salinity, based on individual profiles for 2003–2007 (WOA21c), is constructed and compared with the World Ocean Atlas 2001 (WOA01), the World Ocean Atlas 2005 (WOA05), and the data assimilation analysis from the Coupled Data Assimilation (CDA) system developed by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL). First, we established a glob...

[1] Recent studies comparing shipboard data between the 1950’s and the 1990’s have shown significant, heterogeneous adjustments of the temperature-salinity structure of the N. Atlantic Ocean. Here, we present proxy records of temperature and salinity from aragonite sclerosponge skeletons, extending existing records of the Salinity Maximum Waters (SMW) of the N. Atlantic back to 1890. These prox...

peppermint (mentha piperita l.) is one of the most important plants producing essential oil. an experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications to study the effect of salinity stress on growth parameters, essential oil percent of peppermint. 4 levels of salinity solution containing 0, 50, 100 and 200 mmol nacl was applied in irrigation plantings in a gree...
