Dataset of a globally relevant stock of soil nitrogen in the Yedoma permafrost domain
2022
This dataset merges nitrogen data from the Yedoma domain. It includes numerous fieldwork campaigns, which take place since 1998. In total 467 samples from the active layer (seasonally thawed layer), 175 samples from perennially frozen Holocene cover deposits, 479 samples from thermokarst deposits in drained thermokarst, 175 in-situ thawed, diagenetically (anaerobic microbial decomposition possible during unfrozen phase) altered Yedoma deposits (called Taberite), and 917 samples from frozen Yedoma deposits are included. Moreover it includes a NH4+ and NO3- quantification basing on of 658 samples, including 378 data points for NH4+ (active layer, 93; Holocene cover, 108; thermokarst sediment,…
(Table 1) Sea surface temperature reconstruction for eastern equatorial Pacific surface sediment samples
2012
Significant uncertainties persist in the reconstruction of past sea surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific, especially regarding the amplitude of the glacial cooling and the details of the post-glacial warming. Here we present the first regional calibration of alkenone unsaturation in surface sediments versus mean annual sea surface temperatures (maSST). Based on 81 new and 48 previously published data points, it is shown that open ocean samples conform to established global regressions of Uk'37 versus maSST and that there is no systematic bias from seasonality in the production or export of alkenones, or from surface ocean nutrient concentrations or salinity. The flattening…
Oral health status in patients with moderate-severe and terminal renal failure.
2007
Aims. To evaluate the oral health status of patients with moderate-severe chronic renal failure (CRF) and with terminal renal failure (TRF). Design. The study group was formed of 50 patients: 22 (44%) with moderate-severe CRF and 28 (56%) with TRF included in a haemodialysis programme. The controls (n=64) presented similar characteristics with regard to sex, age, weight and educational level. A single dentist performed an intraoral examination on all the subjects, gathering information on: number of decayed, missing or filled teeth; supragingival plaque accumulation; calculus deposits; periodontal pockets in the Ramfjord teeth; and loss of insertion. Results. No significant differences were…
(Table 1) Age determination of sediment profile SO90-41KL/63KA
2002
The 14C ages of planktonic foraminifers Globigerinoides sacculifer bracketing the Younger Dryas in a d18O record of Globigerinoides ruber from a laminated sediment core on the Pakistani continental margin suggest that surface reservoir ages in the Arabian Sea were in excess of 1000 years during the deglaciation. A least squares error fit of a detailed 14C chronology to the (atmospheric) tree ring record gave variable early Holocene reservoir ages between 780 and 1120 years, well above the prebomb value of 640 years. Mid-Holocene reservoir ages are less well constrained but were probably closer to the prebomb value. The method used to fit individual core sections to the tree ring record was …
Danau Laut Balbullol di Misool Raja Ampat
2018
Danau laut adalah ekosistem unik yang ditemukan terfokus di empat lokasi saja di dunia. Salah satunya di Raja Ampat. Danau-danau tersebut memiliki karakter yang unik sesuai tingkat koneksinya dengan laut. Danau Balbullol adalah danau yang paling dalam diantara danau laut di Misool, terasing, dan belum pernah dikaji. Melalui studi ini ingin mengetahui karakter dari Danau Balbullol. Deskripsi danau dilakukan dengan serangkaian survei lapangan dan perekaman logger untuk mengetahui karakter fisik, kualitas air, dan kehadiran biota. Hasilnya diketahui luas danau adalah 1,94 ha dengan kedalaman maksimum 38 m. Suhu dan salinitas memperlihatkan profil vertikal yang homogen, sehingga membentuk tipe …
(Table 2) Age determination of sediment core NIOP-C2_929
2007
In this study we present a sea surface temperature (SST) record from the western Arabian Sea for the last 20,000 years. We produced centennial-scale d18O and Mg/Ca SST time series of core NIOP929 with focus on the glacial-interglacial transition. The western Arabian Sea is influenced by the seasonal NE and SW monsoon wind systems. Lowest SSTs occur during the SW monsoon season because of upwelling of cold water, and highest SSTs can be found in the low-productivity intermonsoon season. The Mg/Ca-based temperature record reflects the integrated SST of the SW and NE monsoon seasons. The results show a glacial-interglacial SST difference of ~2°C, which is corroborated by findings from other Ar…
Characterisation of two new radiochromic gel dosimeters TruView™ and ClearView™ in combination with the vista™ optical CT scanner: A feasibility study
2018
This study aims at characterising the properties of TruView™ and ClearView™ two new gel dosimeters (Modus Medical Devices Inc.) and at studying the feasibility of relative dosimetry using these dosimeters and the Vista™ Optical CT scanner to accurately evaluate dose.In this work, we investigated key dosimetric aspects (dose response, energy and dose rate dependence) and stability of these radiochromic gels initiated in preliminary works (Huet et al., 2017; Colnot et al., 2017) using spectrophotometric measurements. Moreover, by mean of optical CT scanning (Vista™), their performances to measure relative depth dose (PDD) and cross profiles were analysed.TruView™ and ClearView™ present a line…
Integration of Mortgage and Capital Markets: Evidence in the Spanish Case
2006
The spectacular development of the Spanish mortgage market during the last decade has increased the concern about its financial integration with other capital markets. This paper examines the degree of integration between the mortgage market and two broader capital markets such as the public debt market and the money market in the Spanish case. With this purpose, different time series techniques in a context of cointegration have been used. The results obtained reveal that there exists an important degree of integration between the mortgage market and the general capital markets in Spain. In particular, the public debt market and, especially, the money market have turned into essential refe…
Against the flow in data collection: How data triangulation combined with a ‘slow’ interview technique enriches data
2017
Capturing the voices of the ‘disadvantaged’ in society may often be difficult to achieve. In this article, we argue that the combination of data triangulation and a ‘slow’ interview technique may be a good method when the target group is vulnerable people who may find the interview challenging. Data triangulation can reveal a social phenomenon’s complexity by providing a fuller picture, while in-depth interviews and a ‘slow’ interview technique can enhance data quality. We present an alternative to what we perceive as being dominant and tacit support for use of voice recordings in interview-based studies, thus our research approach goes against the current flow in the research community. I…
Discussion on "Modeling Approaches for Determining Appropriate Depth of Subsurface Drip Irrigation Tubing in Alfalfa"
2020
The discussed paper deals with the quite interesting topic of design and management of subsurface drip irrigation (SDI), with the aim to identify the appropriate depth at which to install driplines to avoid wetting the soil surface. The study proposes the results of simulations, obtained with the well-known HYDRUS 2D/3D model version 2.x, and considering three different irrigation management strategies applied on alfalfa crop cultivated in two different soil types in Holtville, California.
