The levels are highest from two points northeast of the plant, ranging from 8690 becquerels/kilogram to a high of 163,000 Bq/kg measured on 20 March from a point in Iitate about 40 kilometers northwest of the Fukushima plant.
Calculations show that for population between 10,000 and 20,000 inhabitants the size of the plant ranges from 2 to 9 MWe and the internal rate of return ranges from 6% to 18%.
The plants range from 3 to 36 metres (10 to 120 feet) in height.
The plants range from small alpine herbs to large tropical trees.
The plants range in size from small herbs to trees up to 10 m (about 33 feet) high; the smaller species are usually woody parasites on tree branches, while the larger species are root parasites.
They dated a subset of the bryophytes and found that the plants ranged in age from 404 to 614 years old, confirming that were frozen during the Little Ice Age, a period of cooling lasting a few hundred years, which ended in the 19th century.
The analysis shows that the brine specific consumption, ranging from 20 to 120 kg s−1 for each net MW produced, and the efficiency of the plants, ranging from 20%to45%5% in terms of Second Law efficiency, are dictated mainly by the combination of the brine inlet temperature, the brine rejection temperature and the energy conversion cycle being used.
Finally, species 1 occupies widely disjunct regions in the far north of the host plant range and in New South Wales, where it is the only pollinator species recorded.
The mechanisms that shape the host plant range of herbivorous insect are to date not well understood but knowledge of these mechanisms and the selective forces that influence them can expand our understanding of the larger ecological interaction.
Other climatic factors may limit the insect to a smaller range within the host plant range; for example, selection of food plants by the desert species of sugar-beet leafhopper depends on the abundance of rainfall during one season.
Each pollinator species was most common in a different geographic region, emphasising the importance of wide geographic sampling to uncover diversity, and the scope for divergence in coevolutionary trajectories across the host plant range.
