Kinetics of 45Ca, 60Co, 210Pb, 54Mn and 109Cd in the tissue of the freshwater bivalve VeZesunio angusi: further development of a predictive and mechanistic model of metal bioaccumulation

Brown Paul; Jeffree Ross; Markich Scott (Elsevier Inc, 1996)

Abstract A theoretical and experimental study was performed to determine the kinetics of 45Ca, 6oCo, ¿`Pb, 54Mn and lo9Cd in the whole soft tissue of the unionid bivalve G/elesunio angasi. This investigation further tested ...
Land Cover Conversion and Degradation Analyses Through Coupled Soil-Plant Biophysical Parameters Derived From Hyperspectral EO-1 Hyperion

Huete Alfredo; Miura Tomoaki; Gao Xiang (IEEE, 2003)

Land degradation in semiarid areas results from various factors, including climate variations and human activity, and can lead to desertification. The process of degradation results in simultaneous and complex variations ...
Landscape of fear visible from space

Madin Elizabeth; Madin Joshua; Booth David (Nature, 2011)

By linking ecological theory with freely-available Google Earth satellite imagery, landscape-scale footprints of behavioural interactions between predators and prey can be observed remotely. A Google Earth image survey of ...
Larval development of the New Zealand geoduck panopea zelandica (Bivalvia Hiatellidae)

Gribben Paul; Hay Brenda (RSNZ Publishing, 2003)

The larval development of the New Zealand geoduck, Panopea zelandica, grown under culture conditions, was described through measurements of shell morphometry using video image analysis, photomicrographs, and ...
Latent Heat Fluxes During Two Contrasting Years From A Juvenile Plantation Established Over A Waste Disposal Landscape

Yunusa Isa; Fuentes S; Palmer Anthony; Macinnis-Ng Catriona; Zeppel Melanie; Eamus Derek (Elsevier Science Bv, 2011)

Revegetation to restore hydrological function to highly disturbed landscapes used for waste disposal or mining is often constrained by the initial low rates of water-use during the early phases of the developing vegetation. ...
Light dependence of selenium uptake by phytoplankton and implications for predicting selenium incorporation into food webs

Baines Stephen; Fisher Nicholas; Doblin Martina; Cutter Gregory; Cutter Lynda; Cole Brian (American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, Inc., 2004)

The potentially toxic element selenium is first concentrated from solution to a large but highly variable degree by algae and bacteria before being passed on to consumers. The large loads of abiotic and detrital suspended ...
Limitation Of Lowland Riverine Bacterioplankton By Dissolved Organic Carbon And Inorganic Nutrients

Westhorpe Douglas; Mitrovic Simon; Ryan Denise; Kobayashi T (Springer, 2010)

Flow regulation in lowland rivers has reduced the amount of allochthonous dissolved organic carbon (DOC) entering main channels through less frequent wetting of benches, flood runners and floodplains. The hypothesis tested ...
Linearization of NDVI based on its relationship with vegetation fraction

Jiang Z.; Huete Alfredo (ASPRS, 2010)

The Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is widely used for global monitoring of land surface vegetation dynamics from space. However, it is well documented that the NDVI approaches saturation asymptotically over ...
Links between ecotoxicology biomonitoring and water chemistry in the integration of water quality into environmental flow assessments.

Palmer Carolyn; Scherman Patrica; Muller Wilhelmina (John Wiley and Sons, 2003)

Aquatic organisms have physico-chemical as well as flow habitat requirements. There are three main kinds of data which are useful in quantifying these requirements: chemical data which describe in-stream chemical conditions; ...
Magmatic changes during the stabilisation of a cordilleran fold belt: the Late Carboniferous Triassic igneous history of eastern New South Wales, Australia

Caprarelli Graziella; Leitch Evan (Elsevier Science BV, 1998)

In a 60 Ma interval between the Late Carboniferous and the Late Permian, the magmatic are associated with the cordilleran-type New England Fold Belt in northeast New South Wales shifted eastward and changed in trend from ...
Magnetization Modeling of SMC Material with Rotating Fluxes

Guo Youguang; Zhu Jianguo; Zhong Jin Jiang; Lin Zhi Wei (Jack) (Japanese Society of Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics, 2007)

This paper investigates a modified Stoner-Wahlfarth model, and a truncated asteroid is employed to model the magnetic characteristics of the SMC material under rotating field excitation. Through adjusting the truncation ...
Magnetorheological damper semiactive control for civil structures with symmetric quantised sliding mode controllers

Nguyen Thanh; Nguyen Minh Tam; Kwok Ngai Ming; Ha Quang; Samali Bijan (Japanese Society of Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics, 2007)

A symmetric quantised sliding mode controller (SMC) is presented in this paper for semiactive control of civil structures using magnetorheological (MR) dampers. The application of high performance control is needed to ...
Mars express high resolution stereo camera: results of observations of north Tyrrhena terra Mars

Caprarelli Graziella; Pondrelli Monica; Di Lorenzo Stefano; Marinangeli Lucia; Ori Gian; Neukum Gerhard (National Space Society of Australia Ltd, 2007)
Mass-transfer-limited nitrate uptake on a coral reef flat, Warraber island, Torres Strait, Australia

Baird Mark; Roughan Moninya; Middleton John; Nippard Greg (Springer, 2004)

Previous research has identified a relationship between the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy, e, and the mass-transfer-limited rate of uptake by a surface, herein called the epsilon(1/4) law, and suggests ...
Measurement and prediction of mass transfer to experimental coral reef communities

Baird Mark; Atkinson M (Amer Sco Limnology Oceanography, 1997)

The uptake of nutrients (N and P) into coral reef communities is proposed to be limited by diffusion through concentration-depleted boundary layers between the water and organisms, or what is termed "mass transfer limitation." ...
A mechanistic and predictive model of metal accumulation by the tissue of the Australian freshwater mussel Felesunio angasi

Jeffree Ross; Brown Paul (Elsevier Inc, 1992)

A mechanistic model explains the differential rates of accumulation of alkaline-earths in the tissue of the freshwater mussel Velesunio angasi as being determined by their different loss rates. These rates of loss are ...
Mesoscale and microscale spatial variability of bacteria and viruses during a Phaeocystis globosa bloom in the Eastern English Channel

Seymour Justin; Seuront L; Doubell M; Mitchel J (Elsevier, 2008)

Sampling was conducted within inshore and offshore sites, characterized by highly dissimilar hydrodynamic and hydrobiological conditions, in the Eastern English Channel. The eutrophic inshore site was dominated by the ...
Metal concentrations in macroalgae from East Antarctica

Runcie, J.; Riddle, M. J (Elsevier, 2005)
Methodology for bare soil detection and discrimination by Landsat TM image

Dematte Jose; Huete Alfredo; Ferreira L.; Nanni M.; Fiorio P. (Bentham Science Publishers, 2009)

The objective of this work was to develop and test a remote sensing technique to determine bare soils with pixel information from satellite images. The methodology was tested and improved on a 2,805 km2 area located in the ...
A microfluidic chemotaxis assay to study microbial behavior in diffusing nutrient patches

Seymour Justin; Ahmed T; Marcos M; Stocker R (American Society of Limnology and Oceanography Inc., 2008)

The nutrient environment experienced by planktonic microorganisms is patchy at spatiotemporal scales commensurate with their motility and the efficiency with which chemotactic microbes can exploit this heterogeneous seascape ...
