The aims of this study were to examine the use of the critical velocity test as a means of predicting 2000-m rowing ergometer performance in female collegiate rowers, and to study the relationship of selected physiological variables on performance times. Thirty-five female collegiate rowers (mean ± s: age 19.3 ± 1.3 years; height 1.70 ± 0.06 m; weight 69.5 ± 7.2 kg) volunteered to participate i...

By matching of repeat optical satellite images it is now possible to investigate glacier dynamics within large regions of the world and also between regions to improve knowledge about glacier dynamics in space and time. In this study we investigate whether the negative glacier mass balance seen over large parts of the world has caused the glaciers to change their speeds. The studied regions are...

In this lecture first I present a brief genesis of the ideas on the electroweak baryogenesis and then I focus on a mechanism in which the source of CP violation is a CP -violating field condensate which could occur, for example, in multi-higgs extensions of the Standard Model. In the limit of a thick bubble wall one finds a classical force acting on particles proportional to the mass squared an...

We present an analytical model of aeolian sand transport. The model quantifies the momentum transfer from the wind to the transported sand by providing expressions for the thickness of the saltation layer and the apparent surface roughness. These expressions are derived from basic physical principles and a small number of assumptions. The model further predicts the sand transport rate (mass flu...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t The distribution of the cosmogenic radionuclide 7 Be (t 1/2 = 53d) in the surface ocean has previously been used to estimate upwelling velocity in the open ocean. However, the loss of 7 Be to particle export has limited this approach in high particle density environments like the continental margins. In this study, we combine a mass balance of 7 Be with a 2...
