Tidally induced fluctuations and transports of microfungi were investigated. Samples were collected at three depths from three stations positioned at a transect in a large salt marsh creek. Samples were taken every 1.5 h for 50 consecutive h during neap tides and 50 consecutive h during the corresponding spring tides. In each season, microfungi concentrations fluctuated out of phase with the ti...

The time series forecast is a very complex problem, consisting in predicting the behaviour of a data series with only the information of the previous sequence. There is many physical and artificial phenomenon that can be described by time series. The prediction of such phenomenon could be very complex. For instance, in the case of tide forecast, unusually high tides, or sea surges, result from ...

The process of mixing by tides interacting with topography involves several stages. First some fraction of the energy contained in the barotropic tide must be converted into baroclinic energy, through the generation of internal tides and turbulent boundary layers. Secondly, the energy in the internal tides must be transmitted into smaller vertical wavelengths, thereby increasing the vertical sh...

The year 2007 marked the 60th year of Indian Independence, but a sizable number of Indians are waiting to be freed from the gripping pain in their joints and bones. What these patients would like is to reduce, if not end their suffering and improve the health-related quality of life. This is exactly what the Bone and Joint Decade (BJD) — a multi-disciplinary international initiative supported b...

the water hammer phenomenon in hydroelectric power plant’s penstock is one of the famous troubles which have been an interest for researchers. hence this phenomenon can cause many harmful effects on pipe lines and turbine, it is essential that effects of these surges along with line and turbine have been studied and suitable methods for controlling presented. in this way one of the most effecti...

Kisspeptin stimulates gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons via the kisspeptin receptor, Kiss1r. In rodents, estrogen-responsive kisspeptin neurons in the rostral hypothalamus have been postulated to mediate estrogen-induced positive feedback induction of the preovulatory luteinizing hormone (LH) surge. However, conflicting evidence exists regarding the ability of mice lacking Kiss1r to...

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been shown to potentiate the actions of LHRH during the generation of preovulatory LH surges. It is not yet known, however, if activation of a specific subtype of NPY receptors in the anterior pituitary gland is an obligatory event in the stimulation of spontaneous LH surges. A battery of NPY receptor agonists, as well as the specific NPY Y1 receptor antagonist BIBP3226...

Aims. To investigate the relationship between surges and magnetic reconnection during the emergence of small-scale active regions. In particular, to examine how the large-scale geometry of the magnetic field, shaped by different phases of reconnection, guides the flowing of surges. Methods. We present three flux emergence models. The first model, and the simplest, consists of a region emerging ...

this paper brings, for the first time, an interesting modern description of the patricius’ phenomenological theory of tides and its modern relativistic understanding. Famous historians of science (for ex. M. Jammer, Concepts of Force, Dover, 1999; First edition published in 1957 by Harvard press) are emphasizing patricius’ treatise on tides, which had been of primary importance for Kepler in hi...
