The oceanic lithosphere, which constitutes the top layer including Earth's crust and mantle below the oceans, has long intrigued scientists due to its peculiar behavior. This layer appears to glide ...

Pressure waves propagating through bubble-containing liquids in tubes experience considerable attenuation. Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have derived an equation describing this phenomenon, ...

To evaluate whether natural attenuation can achieve legal standards for groundwater cleanup, the fate of contaminants in the groundwater environment has to be well understood. In what direction do the ...

The amygdala releases stress hormones when it senses anything it is not used to. Unless a person flies frequently, the amygdala will react to flying. Other than flight crew members, few people fly ...

Documenting that a contaminant has disappeared or that the concentration has become very low in groundwater samples is an important piece of information for proving that natural attenuation is working ...
