Slow westward movement of salinity anomalies across the tropical South Indian Ocean
(American Geophysical Union, 2015-08-06)
Decadal salinity variability is an important characteristic of the ocean. It characterizes differences in evaporative and precipitation fluxes at the surface, and in the subsurface it contributes to steric sea level change ...
Electrochemical Hydrogen Oxidation on Pt(100): a Combined Direct Molecular Dynamics/Density Functional Theory Study
(Electrocatalysis, 2015-08-09)
We have studied the hydrogen oxidation reaction on various catalytic sites at the water/Pt(100) interface with first-principles direct molecular dynamics and minimum energy pathway calculations. The calculations indicate ...

We provide a checklist of the amphibians and reptiles of Río Macho Biological Station (RMBS), Costa Rica. During a period of a year (2012–2013) we conducted visual and acoustic surveys in a natural mature forest plot (>50 ...
Isotope hydrology and baseflow geochemistry in natural and human-altered watersheds in the Inland Pacific Northwest, USA
(2015-02-18)
This study presents a stable isotope hydrology and geochemical analysis in the inland Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the USA. Isotope ratios were used to estimate mean transit times (MTTs) in natural and human-altered watersheds ...

(AIP Conference Proceedings, 2016-07-07)
All prostate cancer patients from Centro Médico Radioterapia Siglo XXI receive Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT). This therapy uses image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) with the Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). This ...
Strategy of bioremediation in recirculating aquaculture systems using constructed microbial mats
(Journal of Chemical, Biological and Physical Sciences, 2014-11-30)
Due to strict international standards, every day there is greater interest in developing environmentally sound treatment systems in aquaculture facilities that can remove contaminants from effluent and allows for the reuse ...
