The Chesapeake Bay is the continental United States' largest estuary, spanning approximately 320 kilometers (200 miles) between northeastern Maryland and Virginia Beach. Like many coastal ecosystems, ...

Exatecan (DX-8951f), a new topoisomerase I - inhibitor, is inactive in heavily pretreated patients (pts.) with advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS): A phase II - study of the EORTC Soft Tissue and Bone ...

New research has shown that by injecting an alkalinizing agent into the ocean along the length of the Great Barrier Reef, it would be possible, at the present rate of anthropogenic carbon emissions, ...

A team of researchers has applied a machine learning model to explore where and to what extent human activities are contributing to the hydrogeochemical changes, such as increases in salinity and ...

A nationwide study of 226 river-monitoring sites shows how humans are increasing salt levels in rivers. But alkalinization of rivers—rivers becoming less acidic—is also increasing, and is considered ...

From protecting biodiversity to ensuring the safety of drinking water, the biochemical makeup of rivers and streams around the United States is critical for human and environmental welfare. Studies ...

Is it possible to simultaneously address the increase of the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the atmosphere and the resulting acidification of the oceans? The research of the project ...

The formation of a pH gradient, which is characterized by intracellular alkalinization and extracellular acidification, plays a key role in the growth and metastasis of tumor cells. However, the ...

Syracuse University and Texas A&M researchers use computer modeling to find out the sources of salinization and alkalinization in U.S. watersheds. From protecting biodiversity to ensuring the safety ...
