Rock slopes and gravel beaches under wave attack
TL;DR: In this article, the stability of cliff slopes and gravel beaches under wave attack has been investigated with the aid of small and large scale physical models, and the range from "no damage" to statically stable structures up to the profile development of very small (4 mm) shingle under prototype circumstan-

Concentration-dependent changes of PCB patterns in fish-eating mammals: structural evidence for induction of cytochrome P450

TL;DR: The induction of cytochrome P450 enzymes offers the most likely explanation for this phenomenon, but starvation could have a similar effect on occasion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability in basal metabolic rate of a long-distance migrant shorebird (Red Knot, Calidris canutus) reflects shifts in organ sizes
TL;DR: It is argued that red knots have metabolic machinery that is able to adjust continuously, depending on the ecological conditions and food types encountered in the course of the year, and variation in (functional components of) lean mass is the vehicle for seasonal adjustments in metabolic physiology to variable demand levels.
Wave Overtopping on Vertical and Composite Breakwaters
TL;DR: In this article, a series of 2D model tests on the overtopping response of various caisson breakwaters, general conceptual design formulae and graphs have been derived which relate the mean discharge with the relative freeboard.
