Heterotrophic Prokaryote Host–Virus Dynamics During Spring in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
MicroorganismsFlow cytometry typically reveals two heterotrophic prokaryote (HP) subpopulations when stained with SYBR Green: high nucleic acid (HNA) and low nucleic acid (LNA) cells. Evidence suggests these populations have distinct physiological and ecological roles

Nonlinear Data-Based Hydrodynamic Modeling of a Fixed Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Device
IEEE Access, 2021 System identification (SI) techniques represent an alternative strategy to provide the hydrodynamic model of oscillating water column (OWC) devices, compared to more traditional physics-based methods, such as linear potential theory (LPT) and ...

Predicting Marine In Situ Heat Flow Using a Geospatial Machine Learning Conformal Prediction
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023 Heat flow measurements over the past decades have drastically increased in number. However, even with vast increases in measurements, large geospatial gaps exist, most notably across Earth's oceans.
