Microevolutionary processes in natural populations of the waterstrider Aquarius remigis
… adaptive significance of SSD in the waterstrider Aquarius remigis . Laboratory studies have revealed significant genetic correlations among body size components but Lynch's (1999) method of "estimation in the absence of pedigree information" does not provide useful field estimates in this study, …

A Roughness Correction for Aquarius Ocean Brightness Temperature Using the CONAE MicroWave Radiometer
Aquarius/SAC-D is a joint NASA/CONAE (Argentine Space Agency) Earth Sciences satellite mission to measure global sea surface salinity (SSS), using an L-band radiometer that measures ocean brightness temperature (Tb). The application of L-band radiometry to retrieve SSS is a difficult task, and …

The adaptive significance of multiple mating by males in the polygynandrous waterstrider Aquarius remigis (Heteroptera: Gerridae)
… for males of the polygynandrous waterstrider Aquarius remigis . Prolonged copulation is characteristic of this species and has been interpreted as a paternity assurance strategy, analogous to post-copulatory contact guarding. Mating success was a significant predictor of fertilization success …

Microwave Radiometer (MWR) Evaluation of Multi-Beam Satellite Antenna Boresight Pointing Using Land-Water Crossings, for the Aquarius/SAC-D Mission
… CONAE Microwave Radiometer (MWR), on board the Aquarius/SAC-D platform. MWR's main purpose is to provide measurements that are simultaneous and spatially collocated with those of NASA's Aquarius radiometer/scatterometer. For this reason, knowledge of the MWR antenna beam footprint geolocation is …

Distribution of chemistry and sexual fecundity in the lichenized-fungi, Xanthoparmelia cumberlandia and Xanthoparmelia coloradoensis on Boulder Mountain, Aquarius Plateau, UT
<p>Three aspects of <em>Xanthoparmelia cumberlandia</em> and <em>Xanthoparmelia coloradoënsis</em> populations found at two elevations are explored: clustering of secondary chemicals and the resulting implications for taxonomic distinctions, the usefulness of thallus size as an indirect measure of …

Tylopilus e Phlebopus (Boletales) em áreas de Mata Atlântica do Nordeste Brasileiro.
… for a new occurrence of T. potamogeton var. aquarius, which by our studies was elevated to category of species, T. aquarius through a new combination nomenclatural and synonymization with T. potamogeton var. mitis, describing a new variety: T. aquarius var. megistus. Also was identified two …

Geology & Geochemistry of the Kingman Feldspar, Rare Metals and Wagon Bow Pegmatites
… of the Mojave and Yavapai terranes whereas Aquarius granites were emplaced during the Yavapai Orogeny as the sutured terranes docked with North America. A detailed study of 5 pegmatites shows that they are zoned with composite cores and contain REE minerals characteristic of NYF pegmatites. …

The Role of Kelvin Waves on the Circulation and Salt Transport Variability in the Coastal Bay of Bengal
… and the Arabian Sea (AS). The U.S/Argentinian Aquarius/SAC-D salinity mission successfully launched on June 10, 2011, provides global maps of surface salinity by measuring the ocean's brightness temperature. We used Aquarius and ESA's Soil Moisture-Ocean Salinity (SMOS) missions' salinity …

Daily patterns of oviposition mediate sexual conflict in a polygynandrous mating system
… of both sexes is essential. The waterstrider Aquarius remigis has been used in several studies investigating sexual conflict. However, little is known about oviposition behaviour or how it affects male/female interactions. In this study, I observed and quantified oviposition behaviour, tested …

Highway 11: A Memoir
… first stop was Atlanta, in 1969, for the “Age of Aquarius,” where I was a hippie and protested the Vietnam War. I lived out of a suitcase for ten years as a flight attendant for United Airlines in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Honolulu. During that time, I married Bob, a nice Jewish boy, and …

Galactic Stellar Haloes in the CDM Model
… We present six simulations based on the Aquarius project, a suite of high resolution N-body simulations of individual dark matter haloes in a fully cosmological setting. We tag subsets of particles in these simulations with stellar populations predicted by the GALFORM semi-analytic model …
