EROSION AFTER AN EXTREME STORM EVENT IN AN ARID FLUVIAL SYSTEM OF THE SOUTHERN ATACAMA DESERT: AN ASSESSMENT OF THE MAGNITUDE, RETURN TIME, AND CONDITIONING FACTORS OF EROSION AND DEBRIS FLOW GENERATION

The contribution of an individual extreme storm event to long-term erosion rates has been estimated for the first time in the Atacama Desert.A mean erosion of 1.3 mm has been calculated for the March 2015 event that impacted the southernmost part of the Atacama Desert.The estimated erosion is consistent with millennial erosion rates and the

Background/Aims Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is currently considered the first-line treatment for the eradication of superficial neoplasms of the esophagus in Eastern countries.However, in the West, particularly in Latin America, the experience with esophageal ESD is still limited because of the high technical complexity required for its

Quantitative resistance in barley to four Fusarium head blight (FHB) species was investigated in vitro.Nine components involved in three assays (detached leaf, modified Petridish and seedling tests) were compared on two widely grown Syrian barley cultivars: Arabi Aswad (AS) and Arabi Abiad (AB).On AB, inoculation with FHB species resulted in a sign

The asymmetric unit of the title compound [systematic Microwave High Voltage Fuse name: aquabis(2,4,6-trinitrophenolato)(3,6,9-trioxaundecane-1,11-diol)gadolinium(III) 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate methanol hemisolvate], [Gd(C6H2N3O7)2(C8H18O5)(H2O)](C6H2N3O7)·0.5CH4O, contains two crystallographically independent GdIII complex cations with two unco

Oceans have borne most of the biological activities on our planet.A number of biologically active compounds with varying degrees of action, such as anti-tumor, anti-cancer, anti-microtubule, anti-proliferative, cytotoxic, photo protective, as well as antibiotic and antifouling properties, have been isolated to date from marine sources.The marine en
