Laboratory investigations of the natural fluorescence of marine phytoplankton

Creator:: Laney, Samuel R.
Abstract:: The influence of nitrate availability and irradiance on phytoplankton natural fluorescence was investigated in laboratory cultures of the marine diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii (Bacillariophyceae). Two cultures of phytoplankton, differing only in the nitrate-limited growth rate, were compared to learn how increases in irradiance influences natural fluorescence. Instrumentation was developed for these...

Physical and chemical factors controlling the distribution of the major phytoplankton classes at the Antarctic Polar Front, 170 °W

Creator:: Mengelt, Claudia
Abstract:: This study was part of the Antarctic Environment and Southern Ocean Study (AESOPS) program, whose main goal was to investigate the role of the biota in the carbon flux from the atmosphere to the interior of the ocean. We quantified the abundance of the major phytoplankton classes and examined the...

Studies on the spatial variability of phytoplankton physiology and biomass in the Oregon upwelling system

Creator:: Sanders, Rachel B.
Abstract:: The Oregon upwelling system is a region of high biomass and primary productivity as well as strong mesoscale variability. In order to examine the interaction of physical forcing and ecosystem dynamics, four 3-week sampling cruises were conducted in the Oregon upwelling system as part of the Northeast Pacific Global Ocean...

Using the Java component model for scientific information management

Creator:: Sankaran, Anand
Abstract:: We developed a scientific information management system to facilitate remote access and analysis of earth and space science data, using the Component Model of software development provided by the Java language. The data sets are part of the Earth Observing. System project, being carried out at the College of Oceanic...

Seconds to hour scale photosynthetic responses in marine microalgae

Creator:: Laney, Samuel R.
Abstract:: Our view of phytoplankton has historically revolved around their inability to control their location in space. The term phytoplankton itself underscores this particular difference between phytoplankton and their sessile terrestrial counterparts. Yet there are other differences between land plants and the phytoplankton that are perhaps equally important, beyond this sessile-planktonic...

Primary production dynamics in the North Pacific subtropical gyre

Creator:: Corno, Guido
Abstract:: The North Pacific subtropical gyre (NPSG), once considered to be a biological desert due to low primary production (PP) and its associated variability, has been found more productive and variable than previously thought. The environmental conditions controlling this relatively high PP variability are yet to be elucidated, despite important implications...

Right whale ecology in the northwest Atlantic ocean

Creator:: Baumgartner, Mark F.
Abstract:: The ecology of the North Atlantic right whale (Eubalaena glacialis) was examined at three spatial scales during the summer and early fall on their northern feeding grounds. The diving and foraging behavior of right whales was investigated at spatial scales of hundreds to thousands of meters by tagging right whales...

Distributed OpenCL : a platform for distributed, heterogeneous computing for domain scientists

Creator:: Dillon, William H.
Abstract:: It is possible to purchase, for as little as $10,000, a cluster of computers with the capability to rival the supercomputers of only a few years ago. Now, users that have little to no experience developing distributed applications or managing a cluster are in a position to do so. To...

"Land of War and Blood" : spectacular violence, conflicting medievalisms, and chivalric legacies in Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones

Creator:: Horton, Kaely
Abstract:: This thesis examines depictions of medievalism in three central texts: Sir Walter Scott's Ivanhoe, Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones. Each of these texts provides an entry point for exploring the ways in which English and American writers have...
