The Guianese paradox: How can the freshwater outflow from the Amazon increase the salinity of the Guianan shore? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
French Guiana is notable for the extent of its rain forests, which occupy 97% of the country, and the influence of the Amazon along its shores. In fact, the shores and estuaries support a mangrove forest typical of saline conditions.

Development of a multiphase variable mass flow model and its application in well control for variable gradient managed pressure drilling

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2023
A multiphase flow model is an important foundation for well control simulation. In this paper, a multiphase variable mass flow model considering sudden density change was developed for variable gradient managed pressure drilling (MPD) and it was solved ...

Discharge of deeply rooted fluids from submarine mud volcanism in the Taiwan accretionary prism [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
AbstractQualitative and quantitative assessments of fluid cycling are essential to address the role and transport of deeply sourced fluids in subduction systems. In this study, sediment cores distributed across a submarine mud volcano (SMV) offshore southwestern Taiwan were investigated to determine the characteristics of fluids generated through the ...

Variations in benthic foraminiferal assemblages in the Tagus mud belt during the last 5700 years: Implications for Tagus River discharge [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We analyzed a 10-m sediment core retrieved at 82 m water depth off the coast of the Tagus River (Western Iberian Margin, Portugal) to investigate a linkage between variations in benthic foraminiferal assemblages and Tagus River discharge over the last ...

Diagnostic and prognostic performance of urinary neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin in patients with cirrhosis and acute kidney injury

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Diagnostic and prognostic ability of urinary NGAL in patients with cirrhosis and AKI. Abstract Background and Aims Acute kidney injury (AKI) commonly occurs in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Urinary neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin (uNGAL) could help discriminate between different etiologies of AKI.

Relationships among tissues, biofluids, and otolith selenium concentrations in wild female burbot (Lota lota)

open access: yesIntegrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference
