Energetic particle precipitation is one of the main processes by which the sun influences atmospheric composition and structure. The polar middle atmosphere is chemically disturbed by the precipitation-induced production ...

A new method is developed to systematically study variations in the electrostatic potential around a spinning spacecraft in flowing plasma. We argue that the main modulation of this potential is due to wake leading to ...

This thesis presents our study of medical students in their clinical practice and their use of mobile terminals, serving as information resources, in relation to the Knowmobile project. The main objective is to shed light ...

The acquisition of tolerance to an environmental stressor can result in organisms displaying slower growth after stress release. While well-grounded in the theory, empirical evidence of the trade-off between stress tolerance ...

In the Bahi-Manyoni basin in Central Tanzania the geology and climate of the area are the main factors influencing the water chemistry and quality. Most water samples are saturated with respect to quarts, dolomite, calcite, ...

Pharmaceutical formulations intended for treatment of xerostomia (dry mouth) should be able to keep the oral mucosa hydrated for a prolonged period of time. The products already existing on the market contain water-soluble ...

The wave diffraction-radiation problem of a porous geometry of arbitrary shape located in the free surface of a fluid is formulated by a set of integral equations, assuming a linear resistance law at the geometry. The ...
