USING A LADDER OF SEEPS WITH COMPUTER DECISION PROCESSES TO EXPLORE FOR AND EVALUATE COLD SEEPS ON THE COSTA RICA ACTIVE MARGIN

Using a Ladder of Seeps With Computer Decision Processes to Explore for and Evaluate Cold Seeps on the Costa Rica Active Margin

Natural seeps occur at the seafloor as loci of fluid flow where the flux of chemical compounds into the ocean supports unique biologic communities and provides access to proxy samples of deep subsurface processes.Cold seeps accomplish this with minimal heat flux.While individual expertize is applied to locate seeps, such knowledge is nowhere consol

Variability of PRDM9 in buffaloes

The buffalo population raised in Brazil tend to show loss of genetic variability over generations, with significant estimates of inbreeding depression.Besides mating genetically distant individuals, other tools can be used to maintain/increase the genetic variability of the population, such as the use of PRDM9 genotypes.The Douches PRDM9 gene promo

Overlapping Leaves Covering Flowers in the Alpine Species Eriophyton wallichii (Lamiaceae): Key Driving Factors and Their Potential Impact on Pollination.

Extrafloral structures are supposed to have evolved to protect flowers from harsh physical environments but might have effects on pollination.Overlapping leaves cover flowers in Eriophyton wallichii, an alpine perennial endemic to the Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains.In previous study, it has showed that these extrafloral leaves can protect interior flo

Improved Lake Level Estimation From Radar Altimeter Using an Automatic Multiscale-Based Peak Detection Retracker

Satellite radar altimetry is an important technique for monitoring the water levels of oceans and inland water bodies, especially in areas where in-situ data are sparse or nonexistent.This study presented an automatic multiscale-based peak detection retracker (AMPDR).The retracker can extract a robust threshold level for each track, then BAGS the s
