Water abundance

Beside classical MRI, based on the measurement of water abundance in tissues and variation of its relaxation rates, other techniques such as chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) and its improved form using paramagnetic compounds (PARACEST) are currently investigated to improve the potential of MRI diagnosis. 

Chakraborti and coworkers117 surveyed ionic alkyllead compounds in environmental water and sediments collected at an artificial lake within the University of Antwerp campus, and in rivers and the sea in Belgium. In the lake water, abundance of the species is in the order PbMe3+ > PbEt3+ > PbEt2+, PbMe2+, while in the river, the order is reversed. 

More water abundant rivers flow into the Black Sea in its eastern part (Table 5). The overall annual volume of river water inflow to the Black Sea from Georgia (including small rivers) is 45.7 km3. Of this, almost three quarters comes from the major rivers Bzyb (3.79 km3), Kodori (4.17 km3), Er-itskali Canal (the conduit for the canalized and controlled the Inguri River) (3.15 km3), Rioni (13.38 km3) and Chorokhi (8.71 km3). 

Water abundances for 7 comets for which O and OH abundances are now available are given in Table 1. The comets with eccentricities near 1 which have probably been on one of their first close perihelion passages (Kohoutek is the only new comet in this list) have much larger H O productions than the short periodic comets Encke and Bradfield (periods 3.3 years and 250 years resp.). This result agrees with the icy conglomerate model. 

High-pressure hydrous phases were unknown until the advent of multi-anvil experiments. Little is known about the abundance of such phases in the mantle, but they could be a significant repository for water if the bulk Earth water abundance is significantly greater than one Earth ocean (Abe et aL, 2000). If they are abundant phases, they could have a significant effect on mantle evolution. 

Before 1960 the Aral Sea (Fig. 1) was a water-abundant sea-lake that was fourth largest in the world list of lakes after the Caspian Sea (USSR, Iran), Great Lakes (USA, Canada), and Victoria Lake in Africa. This was a real pearl among the sands of the largest deserts - Karakums and Kyzylkums. Navigation between the... 

The average cmitent of phosphates varied in some years from 1.0 to 4.2 mg m and, in some cases, dropped even to analytical zero. During the whole observation period their maximum content was registered in August 1949 in the southeastern part of the sea - over 20 mg m [8]. The Small Sea was one of the areas with the higher phosphate content (1.0-4.6 mg m as well as the mouth areas of the Amudaiya and Syrdarya. The low level of phosphates was recorded in the western area and in the eastern shallow part of the sea - from 0 to 1.0 mg m . The highest values of phosphate content were usually observed in the surface layer, but with depth it sometimes dropped even to analytical zero (at 10-20 m depths). Some enrichment of the surface water layer with phosphates occurred, thanks to the river flow. The seasonal variations in the phosphate content in the Aral Sea, unlike other seas, were revealed rather weakly. On a year-to-year scale the average phosphate values increased in the water abundant years and dropped with the decrease of flow from the rivers. 

In the wet (water abundant) years the excess of inflow to the Chardara reservoir was diverted to the closed drainage Amasay hollow. In the very high flood of 1969... 

Ore deposits are rare crustal units. They have accumulated certain elements of economic importance. They are formed from magmatic melts, hot brines or from sea water. The hot brines of geothermally heated sea water or formation water abundantly extract metals from the subsurface country rocks in their conduits and precipitate metal sulfides and other compounds, if they mix with surface waters. The total masses of metals in ore deposits are small compared with their large but highly diluted reservoir in common rock species (cf. Table 1.1). The continental crust contains...

Under the RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5 scenarios, the annual runoff in water-abundant years (10%) in the Zhimenda section within the next 30 years may decrease by 2.3, 2.2, and 1.1%, respectively. The annual runoff in normal years (50%) may decrease by 4.3, 4.8, and 4.9%, and the annual runoff in low-flow years (75%) may decrease by 5.9, 6.0, and 6.7%, respectively. Therefore, under the three scenarios, annual runoff in the Zhimenda section... 

Some CAM plants grow in regions where water availability is less of a problem. These plants appear to shift from CAM to normal C3 photosynthesis during periods of water abundance and back to CAM when it is in short supply. Moreover there is evidence that in some plants CAM is an inducible adaptation. Thus there appear to be two types of CAM plants, obligate or constitutive CAM plants (e. g. cacti) and facultative or inducible CAM plants (e. g. Mesembryan-themum crystallinium).

At any rate, it would seem not reasonable to embark in an attempt to reproduce such a complex structure. A still formidable goal would be the production of a convenient energy vector, such as hydrogen (a clean fuel, oxidation product is only water) by photolysis of water, abundant on the planet, and under conditions inspired to nature, although much simplified. 

Closed-loop industrial wastewater and water systems are vitally necessary to maintain continuity in future industrial expansion. The huge water demands and high water usage growth rate of U.S. industry cannot continue to rely on traditional water supply sources. Even in water-abundant areas, intake water supplies for industrial use are fast becoming restricted. 

MRI generates high-resolution images of the body s soft tissue. It is based on the principle of NMR, and employs the protons present in water, abundant in the human body, as contrast agent. MRI can be used to visualise other natural or injected nuclei in the body, such as P and E The first MRI image was published in 1973 [103], and the inventors of MRI, Lauterbur and Mansfield, were rewarded with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2003. Development of the instruments has... 

As we have seen water is an important constituent of the giant planets besides hydrogen and helium. This was pointed out by Stevenson and Fishbein, 1981 [326]. The presence of water and other heavy molecules in the interiors of the giant planets may inhibit convection as a means of energy transport there. Guillot, 1995 [150] found that convection is inhibited in Uranus and Neptune when methane reaches an abundance of about 15 times the solar value and in Jupiter and Saturn if the abundance of water is more than about five times the solar value. Roos-Serote et al 2004 [280] studied the water abundance in the atmosphere of Jupiter by analysing the O/H ratio. This ratio was found compatible with one or more times the solar value. Water vapor is the main source for O (except some small contribution from CO). 

Chemical constraints on the water abundance in the deep atmosphere of Saturn were given by Visscher and Channon, 2005 [346]. Saturn is known to develop the largest scale convective storms in the Solar System. Water storms that also occur in the atmosphere of Jupiter may develop velocities up to 150 m/s (Hueso and Sanchez-Lavega, 2004 [167]). 

The detection of water in Titan s atmosphere in the thermal infrared (2.36-45.2 pm) was made from ISO observations in Jan. and Dec. 1997. Two pure rotational water lines were observed at 39.4 and 43.9 pm. The observed water abundance is four times lower than in comets and suggests that Titan s atmosphere is not of cometary origin but rather formed by outgassing from the interior (Coustenis et al., 1998 [82]).
