Mapping and Characterizing Subtidal Oyster Reefs Using Acoustic Techniques, Underwater Videography and Quadrat Counts [PDF]

, 2003
Populations of the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica have been in long-term decline in most areas. A major hindrance to effective oyster management has been lack of a methodology for accurately and economically obtaining data on their distribution and

Uncertainty assessment for a novel optically shallow water radiometric acquisition platform

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a novel motorized platform, a custom‐built jet‐ski designed for acoustic and radiometric measurements in optically shallow coastal waters. This platform integrates in‐water radiometers with single‐beam and multi‐beam acoustic sensors, along with a suite of active and passive instruments (conductivity‐temperature‐depth, fluorescence,

Thermal Planar and Radial Free Jets for An Ostwald‐de Waele Fluid With Shear‐Rate Dependent Thermal Diffusivity

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The planar and radial thermal free jets for forced convection of a non‐Newtonian power‐law fluid are investigated. The thermal diffusivity is dependent on the shear‐rate and is not a constant. The flow in planar and radial thermal free jets is governed by the momentum, continuity and energy balance equations. In the stream‐function formulation,

Reconstructing Early Human Subsistence in Near Oceania: New Insights From Matenkupkum and Matenbek

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The colonization of New Ireland ~44–40,000 years ago represents the earliest evidence of human occupation in Near Oceania. Yet, the precise impacts of climatic changes on subsistence strategies during the Late Pleistocene, Last Glacial Maximum, and Holocene remain poorly understood.

Environmental influence on intraspecific trait variation in the tropical seagrass Halodule uninervis

Oikos, EarlyView.
Intraspecific trait variation (ITV) enhances the precision of applying functional trait approaches in plant ecology. Despite its benefits, ITV is rarely considered in functional trait‐based seagrass research. The goal of our research is to measure ITV in the tropical seagrass species Halodule uninervis and assess the environmental factors associated ...

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens

Oikos, EarlyView.
Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

The Politics of Policy Robustness: A Central Paradox and Computational Review of Adaptive Policymaking

Public Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Policy robustness, that is, the capacity of policies to sustain performance across diverse and uncertain futures, is increasingly considered a core objective of public policymaking. Although adaptive policymaking is widely promoted as an approach to achieving policy robustness, it suffers from a central paradox highlighted by theories of the ...

Developing a Pediatric Pain Curriculum for Pediatric Anesthesia Fellows in Sub‐Saharan Africa: A Delphi Study

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Comprehensive pain management in children requires a specialized skillset, with a limited number of clinicians possessing the level of expertise required to successfully navigate the complexities of holistic care. The emergence of pediatric anesthesia fellowship programs in sub‐Saharan Africa presents an opportunity to embed a ...
