The IceShark, an effective method for sampling plankton under sea ice
Abstract Seasonal sea ice plays a crucial role in shaping coastal ecosystem dynamics throughout the circumpolar region. Of particular interest to oceanographers is the ice‐ocean interface which functions as a multidimensional habitat, supporting both sympagic algae and pelagic phytoplankton in the under‐ice surface waters.

Validation of daily growth increments and estimation of growth rates of larval and early juvenile black skipjack, Euthynnus lineatus, using otoliths [PDF]
ENGLISH: Increments in otoliths (sagittae) were examined, using light and scanning electron microscopy, to determine ages and estimate growth rates of larval and early-juvenile black skipjack, Euthynnus lineatus.

Overview of Advanced LIGO Adaptive Optics
This is an overview of the adaptive optics used in Advanced LIGO (aLIGO), known as the thermal compensation system (TCS). The thermal compensation system was designed to minimize thermally-induced spatial distortions in the interferometer optical modes ...

Optical contamination screening of materials with a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity resonated continuously at 1.06-µm wavelength in vacuum [PDF]
An optical-loss measurement system based on a resonant Fabry Perot cavity at 1.06µm in vacuum has been developed for independent monitoring of the cavity total loss and the optical absorption loss.

New light on UU Sagittae * [PDF]
New V and I band CCD photometry and medium resolution spectroscopy are used to derive the masses, luminosities and radii accurate to < 10% for the individual components of the eclipsing central star of the planetary nebula A63–UU Sge (M1 = 0.63 ± 0.06M⊙, R1 = 0.33 ± 0.01R⊙, M2 = 0.29 ± 0.04M⊙ and R2 = 0.53 ± 0.002R⊙).

Adapting the growth‐form concept to geniculate coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta)
Abstract Geniculate coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) are a diverse group of calcifying macroalgae, loosely united by flexible upright axes formed by alternating calcified (intergenicula) and uncalcified segments (genicula), a trait that has independently arisen several times.

No evidence for an early seventeenth-century Indian sighting of Keplers supernova (SN1604) [PDF]
In a recent paper Sule et al. (Astronomical Notes, vol. 332 (2011), 655) argued that an early 17th-century Indian mural of the constellation Sagittarius with a dragon-headed tail indicated that the bright supernova of 1604 was also sighted by Indian ...

ABSTRACT Growth and survival rates during the early life stages are key vital parameters driving population dynamics of fish. Growth rates generally present a pattern of autocorrelation. Growth autocorrelation is stronger when faster and slower growing individuals continue to grow faster and slower.
