The continental margin off northeast Australia, comprising the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) platform and Queensland Trough, is the largest tropical mixed siliciclastic /carbonate depositional system in existence. We describe a suite of 35 piston cores and two Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) sites from a 130 × 240 km rectangular area of the Queensland Trough, the slope and basin setting east of the cen...

Gravimetric and geologic data show that the reactivation of the Neogene Interandean depression and/or the ~75 65 Ma ophiolite suture into the modern dynamic of the Andes controlled the Gulf of Guayaquil Tumbes basin (GGTB) location and evolution during the past 1.8 1.6 Myr at least. Depending on whether the remobilization occurred along the interandean depression or the ophiolite suture, the GG...

The Western Arctic Shelf–Basin Interactions (SBI) project is a 10-year Arctic environmental change program. A major field campaign occurred in the spring, summer and fall seasons between 2002 and 2004. The SBI program was developed to investigate the production, transformation and fate of carbon on shelf and slope regions of the Chukchi and Beaufort seas and shelf–basin interactions with the Ar...

The relationship between some habitat factors and fish assemblage was analyzed in the Taleghan River, Alborz Province, Iran. Fish specimens from thirty-three sites were sampled by electrofishing device in October 2014. The habitat parameters, including elevation (m), water depth (cm), river width (m), river slope (%), current velocity (m.s-1), number of large stone (> 15 cm), average stone diam...

This paper applied the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) technique and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) procedure to evaluate the wastewater treatment for enterprises. Based on the characteristics of wastewater treatment for enterprises in Taihu basin, an evaluating index system was established for enterprise and analysis hierarchy process method was applied to determine index weight. Then t...
