Hypotheses and Predictions: The authors wanted to test if it is possible to detect increased metabolic work in two estuarine species (Hemigrapsus oregonensis and H. nudus) and relate this function to increased osmotic work by measuring oxygen consumption with respect to changes in temperature‚ salinity‚ and the gradient‚ which they defined as the difference in concentration between blood and the external medium. The authors predicted “because of seasonal variation in salinity it would appear quite

LEGAL REQUIREMENT AND LEGAL CONSTRAINTS IN THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF PRODUCT TANKER ABSTRACT Maritime sector is become a key contributor to the economy for some of the country. It can be seen through the emergence of the designing and construction of the ship. The main cause maritime sector developing is because the demand and supply of the cargoes increasing throughout the years. There are many types of merchant ship involve in the trading activities such as product tanker‚ chemical carrier

A tsunami us a large wave caused by a displacement of a large volume of water. A tsunami are the effect of a natural primary hazards meaning that they are a secondary hazard‚ mostly the result of tectonic activity. The Boxing Day tsunami was caused by the subduction of the indo-Australian plate boundary underneath the Eurasian plate (240km off the coast of Indonesia). In contrast‚ the Japan tsunami was caused by the Pacific Plate subducting under the North American plate. The Asian and the Japan

ATMOSPHERE – OCEAN INTERACTIONS :: LECTURE NOTES 1. Introduction to the Atmosphere and Ocean J. S. Wright jswright@tsinghua.edu.cn 1.1 O VERVIEW This chapter outlines the main features of the atmosphere–ocean system and motivates the deeper examination to follow. The character of coupled atmosphere–ocean interactions is briefly introduced. Simple energy balance models are derived and used to illustrate the fundamental mechanisms behind variations of temperature with altitude

Acidification in our Oceans Oceanography April 2‚ 2013 What is Ocean Acidification? “Ocean Acidification‚ is the worldwide reduction in the pH of seawater as a consequence of the absorption of large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) by the oceans.” (Britannica). Ocean acidification is largely the result of loading Earth’s atmosphere with large quantities of CO2‚ produced by vehicles and industrial and agricultural processes. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution about

political advantage. At death the spirit‚ or baloma‚ of the person who dies becomes youthful again and stays close to the island of Tuma. However‚ the spirit does not stay youthful and after a while‚ it must bath in seawater to return as it once was. When the spirit needs to bath in the seawater it becomes a spirit child‚ or waiwaia. Unlike the baloma‚ a waiwaia cannot stay on the island of Tuma. The spirit child must enter a woman’s body‚ which is believed to be a member of the same matrilineage of its

Motivation A limited amount of information is available on the feeding behavior of Nassarius kraussianus. Laboratory experiments will be executed to determine the snails feeding rates as well as how certain factors such as temperature‚ food type and light levels affect these rates. The feeding rate and feeding behavior can provide beneficial information for future studies that might inevitably be needed for ecological models or to understand what makes N. kraussianus such a successful species.

and shrubs that grow in saline coastal habitats in the tropics and subtropics – mainly between latitudes 25° N and 25° S. The saline conditions tolerated by various species range from brackish water‚ through pure seawater (30 to 40 ppt)‚ to water of over twice the salinity of ocean seawater‚ where the salt has become concentrated by evaporation (up to 90 ppt).[1][2] The many species of trees and shrubs adapted to saline conditions are not all closely related‚ and the term "mangrove" may be used for
