Study on the Coupling Frequency of Double-Sided Submerged Ring-Stiffened Cylindrical Shells by Anbin Yu, Yinglong Zhao, Youqian Wang, Ben Zhang

“…Based on the Flügge theory and orthotropic theory, the acoustic vibration coupling model of ring-stiffened cylindrical shell is established by using the wave propagation method and virtual source method. And the effects of water immersion on both sides, free surface, and hydrostatic pressure on the cylindrical shell are considered in the coupling model. …”

Origin of Meteoric Fluids in Extensional Detachments by Paul D. Bons, Enrique Gomez-Rivas

“…Minerals in veins and shear zones often show oxygen and hydrogen isotope ratios that are interpreted as recording interaction with meteoric water, at depths up to about 10 km. Downward fluid flow to these depths can only occur in the unlikely case of fluid pressures that are significantly lower than lithostatic overburden pressures. …”

Sediment Remediation for Ecosystem in Eutrophic Lakes by Y. Amano, K. Taki, K. Murakami, T. Ishii, H. Matsushima

“…Results show that two effects on water quality purification, the sediment washout effect and the elution control effect, can be induced by this system, and the biota inhabiting the lake is therefore shifted into an oligotrophic aspect, from blue algae to green algae and/or diatoms.…”

Not All Landscape Palm Fertilizers Are Created Equal by Timothy K. Broschat

“…UF/IFAS research shows that the most effective fertilizer has 100% of the N, K, Mg, and B sources in slow-release or controlled-release form and that all of the Mn, Fe, Zn, and Cu sources should be water soluble. This 4-page fact sheet explains the reasons for this recommendation and how to ensure that you have a formulation that will be effective. …”
