IDENTIFYING THE ORIGIN OF SPRINGS IN WEATHERED-FRACTURED CRYSTALLINE AQUIFERS USING A HYDROGEOPHYSICAL APPROACH

Identifying the origin of springs in weathered-fractured crystalline aquifers using a hydrogeophysical approach

Abstract Over the last few decades, important advances have been made in the development of relevant hydrogeological conceptual models for crystalline aquifers, and notably for weathered-fractured crystalline aquifers.Paradoxically and contrary to other types of aquifers, these researches never aimed at characterizing springs, the places were groun

Heart function enhancement by an Nrf2-activating antioxidant in acute Y-strain Chagas disease, but not in chronic Colombian or Y-strain.

Oxidative stress promotes T.cruzi growth and development of chronic Chagas heart dysfunction.However, the literature contains gaps that must be fulfilled, largely due to variations in parasite DTU sources, cell types, mouse strains, and tools to manipulate redox status.We assessed the impact of oxidative environment on parasite burden in cardiomyob

A Review of Particulate Number (PN) Emissions from Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) Engines and Their Control Techniques

Particulate Matter (PM) emissions from gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines, particularly Particle Number (PN) emissions, have been studied intensively in both academia and industry because of the adverse effects of ultrafine PM emissions on human health and other environmental concerns.GDI engines are known to emit a higher number of PN emissio

The January 2006 low ozone event over the UK

In this paper we present a case study of a record low ozone event observed over the UK in January 2006.We focus on the dynamical processes that cause this event.This is done by examining the observations, meteorological analyses and back trajectories calculated by the NAME III atmospheric dispersion model.We show that this model, hitherto only used

Using Non-Destructive Testing to Determine the Correlation between Dynamic Mechanical Properties and Bonding Strength of Wood-Plastic Composite Adhesive Joints

Wood-plastic composites (WPC) have been developed into new and important wood-based composites because of their benefits for the environment, economy, and recyclability.When combined with structural adhesives, WPCs will have a greatly broadened SPORT PLUS DEODORANT application in the construction field.In this work, epoxy resin and acrylic ester we
