THE DEVELOPMENT OF A HOLISTIC EXPERT SYSTEM FOR INTEGRATED COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT
Creators: name: MOORE, ANTONI BRUCE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2001

description: Coastal data and information comprise a massive and complex resource, which is vital to the practice of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM), an increasingly important application. ICZM is just as complex, but uses the holistic paradigm to deal with the sophistication. The application domain and its resource require a tool of matching characteristics, which is facilitated by the current wide availability of high performance computing. An object-oriented expert system, COAMES, has been constructed to prove this concept. The application of expert systems to ICZM in particular has been flagged as a viable challenge and yet very few have taken it up. COAMES uses the Dempster- Shafer theory of evidence to reason with uncertainty and importantly introduces the power of ignorance and integration to model the holistic approach. In addition, object orientation enables a modular approach, embodied in the inference engine - knowledge base separation. Two case studies have been developed to test COAMES. In both case studies, knowledge has been successfully used to drive data and actions using metadata. Thus a holism of data, information and knowledge has been achieved. Also, a technological holism has been proved through the effective classification of landforms on the rapidly eroding Holderness coast. A holism across disciplines and CZM institutions has been effected by intelligent metadata management of a Fal Estuary dataset. Finally, the differing spatial and temporal scales that the two case studies operate at implicitly demonstrate a holism of scale, though explicit means of managing scale were suggested. In all cases the same knowledge structure was used to effectively manage and disseminate coastal data, information and knowledge.

description: The time evolution of the photoluminescence (PL) of 1300-nm emitting InGaAsN/GaAs/GaAsP strain-compensated single quantum well (QW) in the temperature range of T = 10 K – 300 K is investigated. The PL spectra observed at the early stages of carrier recombination is dominated by two transitions. These two transitions are identified as the first quantized electron state to heavy-hole state (e1-hh1) and electron to light-hole state (e1-lh1) from the analysis of polarized photocurrent measurements in combination with k · p simulation of the band structure. At longer time delays, the dilute-nitride QW exhibits carrier localization at low temperatures and faster recombination time at higher temperatures. The PL dynamics characteristics observed in the InGaAsN QW are different from those measured from the InGaAs QW.

description: Abstract: Peatlands play a significant role in global carbon and nitrogen cycles due to their carbon storage capabilities. However, there are key knowledge gaps in our understanding of how peatland hydrology influences the biogeochemical properties that drive peatland functioning and health. This study examines peatland hydrology and biogeochemical dynamics by exploring the variations in carbon chemistry, total amino acid (‘protein’) content and amino acid composition in the ecohydrologic layers: acrotelm, mesotelm and catotelm. The dynamic movement of the water table recorded half-hourly over 4 years was used to assist in identifying the boundaries between these layers. Peat amino acids were measured using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Carbon chemistry was analysed by solid state Cross Polarization Magic Angle Spinning (CPMAS) 13C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, with the alkyl:O-alkyl ratio used to quantify the extent of decomposition. Our result revealed a strong positive correlation between the extent of decomposition and total protein content, indicating selective preservation of proteinaceous materials during peat decomposition. Each ecohydrologic layer displayed a distinct amino acid composition and carbon functional group composition. The acrotelm was relatively enriched in seven amino acids and two carbon functional groups. The mesotelm was relatively enriched in four amino acids, while the catotelm was relatively enriched in three amino acids and four carbon functional groups. The variations in amino acid composition reflect differences in microbial function and efficiency, while variations in carbon functional groups provide insights into long-term carbon sequestration in peatland. Collectively, these results provide more insights into nutrient cycling and changes in organic matter composition during peat decomposition. These findings demonstrate that peatland biogeochemistry is closely linked to ecohydrology and suggest that changes to water table dynamics could affect the ability of peatlands to sequester and store carbon in the future.

 Note: De Wit’s 1961 typification, using a Plumier illustration published by Burman in 1755, was rejected by Gillis & Stearn (in Taxon 23: 185-191. 1974) in favour of Herb. Linn. 1228.19 (LINN). However, de Wit (in Taxon 24: 349, f. 1,2. 1975) pointed out that this material conflicts with Linnaeus’ diagnosis and could not have been the basis of the name. Polhill & Stearn (in Taxon 25: 323-325. 1976) re-examined the question and concluded that de Wit’s objections were well founded, and that the Plumier element should indeed be the type. However, they treated Aubriet’s tracing (at Groningen) of Plumier’s original drawing as the type (rather than Burman’s published version, which was derived from the tracing).

DIRECTLY-COUPLED CHROMATOGRAPHY - ANALYTICAL ATOMIC SPECTROSCOPY FOR TRACE METAL SPECIATION
Creators: name: HILL, STEPHEN JOHN
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1985

description: The form of trace metals, so called "speciation", is of vital importance in many fields, e.g., toxicology and environmental monitoring. A promising analytical approach to speciation studies is the coupling of chromatography, for species separation, to the selectivity and sensitivity of atomic spectroscopy for detection. The suitability of such couplings are discussed and the applications of both gas and liquid chromatography reviewed. The success of coupled gas chromatography (GC) - flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) is demonstrated for the unequivocal identification of petrol residues in forensic applications. The advantages and disadvantages of this technique are discussed with reference to both sufficiently volatile and non-volatile compounds. The advantages of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for many studies are discussed. As coupled HPLC-ETA-AAS (electrothermal atomisation - atomic absorption spectroscopy) suffers from non-continuous detection, coupling is difficult and chromatography constrained. In contrast, a simple HPLC-FAAS coupling utilising pulse nebulisation and a modified atom cell was developed which produced continuous chromatograms in real time. Application of this system to determining tributyltin (TBT+) compounds in seawater yielded a detection limit of 200 ng ml ˉ¹. A directly coupled system utilising continuous flow hydride generation is described, and for species with non-volatile hydrides, on-line UV photolysis was incorporated. The effects of various parameters on analytical performance are discussed, and applications to real samples given. Detection limits for TBT+ were improved 100 fold. A novel sample transport interface using rotating platinum wire spirals controlled by a microprocessor, utilised the attractive features of flame atomisers but sample introduction via the nebuliser was avoided. Applications are reported using both minibore HPLC for alkyllead speciation and fast protein liquid chromatography for speciating zinc in human serum. Applications of the above techniques for determining organometallic species of Pb, As, Sn, Cu, Zn and Cd are described and possible future work discussed.

Late Quaternary fire histories in the eastern Mediterranean region from lake sedimentary micro-charcoals
Creators: name: Turner, Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2007

description: The Eastern Mediterranean has a long history of human occupation, which spans the transition from hunter-gatherers to the establishment of early agro-pastoralist communities, coinciding with the Last Glacial: Interglacial transition. Over the same timeframe a delay in postglacial woodland recolonisation in the region has been identified. Fire has long been used by people to manage and manipulate the landscape, and has been hypothesised to have played a role in this delay. This thesis employed lacustrine micro charcoal (particles less than 180 !lm) remains to reconstruct Late Quaternary fire histories for Central Turkey and the Levant, and examine the possible role that fire may have played in retarding woodland development in the region. Microcharcoals were analysed in cores taken from four sites in Central Turkey (AkgOl, Eski AClgol, <;atalhOyiik and Nar Golii) and one site in Israel (Lake Hula) that cover varying time intervals from the Last Glacial through to the Late Holocene. In order to develop a standardised analytical procedure for microcharcoals, a series of published extraction and quantification techniques along with a new approach using heavy liquid separation were rigorously tested on "control" samples that contained a known volume of microscopic charcoal. As a result of this investigation a novel, two step extraction procedure based on the use of heavy liquid separation was developed and applied alongside a contiguous high resolution sampling strategy. Using this approach, fire activity was reconstructed based on cores from each of the sites and these data were compared with existing multi-proxy data (stable oxygen isotopes, pollen and archaeological data). Results show clear links between climate, biomass, people and fire, although these relationships changed over time. Regional fire activity during the Last Glacial: Holocene transition was apparently controlled by climate through the influence it exerted on biomass availability, whereas links between people and fire activity are most evident during the Late Holocene. Humans do not seem to have retarded the Early Holocene spread of woodland through the use of fires, although it is possible that natural fire activity served to maintain the open parkland vegetation communities may have played a role. During the Mid Holocene a mixture of climatic and anthropogenic controls apparently influenced regional fire activity. Evidence was also identified of a ca.l ,500 year periodicity in fire history from Central Turkey which may reflect teleconnections to climatic changes in the North Atlantic. This research also highlighted the potential of using microscopic charcoal to infer the spatial resolution of fire history reconstructions from lake basins of different sizes and types through comparisons of influx values.

HlGH RESOLUTION PALAEOMAGNETIC ANALYSES OF CRETACEOUS SHALLOW WATER CARBONATES
Creators: name: Lorio, Marina
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: A sequence of 88 m of continuous borehole cores of Lower Cretaceous shallow water carbonates from Southern Italy was obtained and studied lithologically and palaeomagnetically. It was found that the rocks are organized in cyclic lithofacies representing depositional environments from subtidal to supratidal and their magnetic remanences are all measurable and stable even if very weak. Cyclicities in the Milankovitch band were found using F.F.T analyses in both the sedimentological and palaeomagnetic records, and these matched the astronomical periodicities predicted for the Early Cretaceous. From this link it is possible to date the absolute time represented by the sediments, and the absolute time of acquisition of the palaeomagnetic signal. The palaeomagnetic signal is independent of sedimentological characteristics and lithofacies organization. The mean palaeolatitude and the tectonic results are consistent with other Lower Cretaceous structures in the Southern Apennines. The palaeomagnetic data, although still being studied, also shows shorter wavelengths signals than the Milankovitch cycles, some of which are likely to be comparable with secular variations of the geomagnetic field in the Early Cretaceous. Polarity changes are present, which correlate to the Geomagnetic Polarity Scale. Longer Normal polarities were found at about 1,000,000 years and in them the secular variations were found longer than usual. A repeatable magnetic behaviour characterises the polarity changes each about 230,000 years. It is hypothesized that climatic variations and the sea level oscillations affect the thickness, type and cyclicities of sediments and geomagnetic variations control the palaeomagnetic data. This study confirms that ultra-high resolution magnetostratigraphy can be undertaken on shallow water carbonates.
Robustness and precision of Holocene palaeoclimatic records from peatlands using testate amoebae
Creators: name: Hendon, Dawn
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1998

description: This thesis represents the first attempt to use quantitative testate amoebae (Protozoa: Rhizopoda) analysis to measure hydrological fluctuations in British peatbogs over the Holocene. Changes in the fossil species assemblage are used to reconstruct the mean annual water table records at different locations on mire surfaces using a transfer function designed for application on oligotrophic peatlands. The transfer function was found to provide more precise reconstructions for depth to water table than percentage soil moisture. Multiple cores were extracted from three of the Border Mires; Coom Rigg Moss and Butterburn Flow (both intermediate ombrotrophic bogs) and The Wou (a minerogenic valley mire). Testate amoebae analysis of these cores was used to assess the variability of hydrological change at three spatial scales, in an attempt to separate autogenic and allogenic influences on site hydrology. The morphology of each mire ensured a strong link between water and prevailing climate (precipitation-evaporation balance). At the micro-scale (1-10m), within the centre of a mire, microtopography explains differences between the hydrological record for two cores. This is inferred because one of the cores appears to have been the location of an insensitive hummock over much of the period of accumulation. At the meso-scale (100-1000m), between the central mire expanse and the mire margins, synchronous changes can be identified, but the edges generally have lower water tables than the central portions of the mires. However, this may be attributable to autogenic factors acting over the whole site, as well as to climate. Between sites, at the macro-scale (1-10Iun), climatic influences can be clearly identified. The climatic signal is strongest in the centre of the mire and is more consistent between locations in the upper peats. If a hydrological shift is replicated in at least three cores from at least two sites, a climatic signal can be inferred. The testate amoebae preparation technique was also modified as part of this research to provide cleaner slides for more efficient counting. Testate amoebae analysis provides a new quantitative technique for reconstructing the palaeohydrology and from this, inferred palaeoclimatic conditions of ombrotrophic peatlands.

Ophiolite

description: This study examines the tectonic evolution of the Mersin ophiolite of the central Tauride of Turkey, using palaeomagnetic, structural and geochemical analyses. This ophiolite represents one of the best examples of Tethyan-type ophiolites formed by supra-subduction zone spreading within the northern Neotethyan Ocean basin during the Late Cretaceous. It exposes a 3.0 km section of lower crustal, cumulate rocks, and tectonically separated exposures of the underlying mantle sequence and metamorphic sole, both of which are cut by basaltic dykes. Stepwise thermal and alternating field demagnetization of ultramafic and gabbroic cumulates from 18 sites mostly identified single components of remanent magnetization characterized by ENE-directed, moderately upwards inclined directions in geographic coordinates with high coercivities/high unblocking temperatures. The slight increase in scattering in remanence directions after tilt correction has been interpreted to be related to local variations in orientation of cumulates layering within the magma chamber. Rock magnetic investigations showed that magnetite is the main magnetic mineral in the majority of ultramafic, gabbro and dyke rock samples, and rock magnetic and demagnetization characteristics suggest that the samples carry thermoremanent magnetizations acquired during crustal accretion. Net tectonic rotation analyses show that all the units of the Mersin ophiolite, including lower crustal cumulates, dykes in the mantle sequence and dykes in the metamorphic sole have experienced large clockwise rotations around NE- trending, moderately plunging to sub-horizontal axes. Correcting anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility data for the effects of these rotations suggests that magmatic flow in the cumulates had an initial NNE-SSW orientation, which if assumed to relate to seafloor spreading suggests that the Mersin spreading axis was oriented WNW-ESE. This is consistent with regional palaeogeographic reconstructions. The net tectonic rotation data show that dykes in the metamorphic sole are rotated by c. 45°, significantly less than the c. 115° rotations seen in the mantle sequence and in the cumulate sequences of the overlying thrust sheets. These results therefore document an initial stage of intra-oceanic clockwise rotation of the ophiolite that occurred after initial detachment but prior to emplacement of dykes cutting the metamorphic sole. Subsequent additional clockwise rotation (of all units) may be attributed to further intra-oceanic rotation (preferred interpretation) or to later emplacement of the ophiolite onto the Tauride continental margin. Finally, some new, preliminary data are presented from the Lizard ophiolite of Cornwall in Appendix A, forming the results of a training project undertaken while awaiting permission for fieldwork in Turkey.

Use of Depth Perception for the Improved Understanding of Hydrographic Data
Creators: name: Ostnes, Runar
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2005

description: This thesis has reviewed how increased depth perception can be used to increase the understanding of hydrographic data First visual cues and various visual displays and techniques were investigated. From this investigation 3D stereoscopic techniques prove to be superior in improving the depth perception and understanding of spatially related data and a further investigation on current 3D stereoscopic visualisation techniques was carried out. After reviewing how hydrographic data is currently visualised it was decided that the chromo stereoscopic visualisation technique is preferred to be used for further research on selected hydrographic data models. A novel chromo stereoscopic application was developed and the results from the evaluation on selected hydrographic data models clearly show an improved depth perception and understanding of the data models.

HIGH-RESOLUTION RECORDS OF CLIMATE CHANGE FROM LACUSTRINE STABLE ISOTOPES THROUGH THE LAST TWO MILLENNIA IN WESTERN TURKEY
Creators: name: JONES, MATTHEW DAVID
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2004

description: Knowledge of past chmate variability is vital if the causes of observed chmate changes since instrumental records began are to be fully understood, particularly those, post-1850 AD, possibly due to anthropogenic activity. The past two millennia provide a long enough background with which to compare post-r850 AD change, whilst errors on proxy records remain relatively small. In the Eastem Mediterranean changes in water balance are of particular interest as water is an important resource. Oxygen isotope records from lakes in the region record changes in water balance and are therefore an important archive for observing natural, and anthropogenicaly forced, variabiUty in hydrology. Full understanding of cUmate proxies requires high-resolution analysis through the instramental time period for comparison with measured climate variability. Varved lake sediments provide the possibility for obtaining annually-resolvedarchives of climate proxies, andstrong chronological control through time. In this study gebchemical-climate proxies including oxygen and stable carbon isotope ratios were measured from two lakes in central Turkey with varved sediment archives. Lake Burdur's complex carbonate mineralogy and large catchment led to stable isotope data that is controlled by a variety of mischariisms and highlights the complex nature of some lake-isotope systems. A 1725 year long record was obtained from Nar GolU, with the top 900 years analysed at an annual resolution. Calibration of the top of this record with instmmental cHmate records suggests stable isotope variability at Nar is controlled by changes in evaporation, driven by changes in sunmier temperature and relative humidity. The proxy record from Nar shows sununer evaporation at Nar to be enhanced at times of increased Indian and African monsoon rainfall, and reduced during drier monsoon periods. Major shifts in the chmate system occur c. 500 and c. 1400 AD associated with times of change between relatively warm and cold periods of Northern Hemisphere temperatures. Cycles, with a frequency of 64 years, observed in the Nar isotope record and proxy records of solar activity suggest a solar forcing mechanism for decadal variability in the Eastem Mediterranean-Indian- African sununer climate system.

description: The advent of Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRS) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is setting a new benchmark in the field of wireless communications. IRS, with their groundbreaking ability to manipulate electromagnetic waves, have opened avenues for substantial enhancements in signal quality, network efficiency, and spectral usage. These surfaces dynamically reconfigure the propagation environment, leading to optimized signal paths and reduced interference. Concurrently, UAVs have emerged as dynamic, versatile elements within communication networks, offering high mobility and the ability to access and enhance coverage in areas where traditional, fixed infrastructure falls short. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on the synergistic integration of IRS and UAVs in wireless networks, highlighting how this innovative combination substantially boosts network performance, particularly in terms of security, energy efficiency, and reliability. The versatility of UAVs, combined with the signal-manipulating prowess of IRS, creates a potent solution for overcoming the limitations of conventional communication setups, especially in challenging and underserved environments. Furthermore, the survey delves into the cutting-edge realm of Machine Learning (ML), exploring its role in the strategic deployment and operational optimization of UAVs equipped with IRS. The paper also underscores the latest research and practical advancements in this field, providing insights into real-world applications and experimental setups. It concludes by discussing the future prospects and potential directions for this emerging technology, positioning the IRS-UAV integration as a transformative force in the landscape of next-generation wireless

description: Algorithmic trading refers to executing buy and sell orders for specific assets based on automatically identified trading opportunities. Strategies based on reinforcement learning (RL) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in addressing algorithmic trading problems. However, the trading patterns differ among market conditions due to shifted distribution data. Ignoring multiple patterns in the data will undermine the performance of RL. In this paper, we propose MOT,which designs multiple actors with disentangled representation learning to model the different patterns of the market. Furthermore, we incorporate the Optimal Transport (OT) algorithm to allocate samples to the appropriate actor by introducing a regularization loss term. Additionally, we propose Pretrain Module to facilitate imitation learning by aligning the outputs of actors with expert strategy and better balance the exploration and exploitation of RL. Experimental results on real futures market data demonstrate that MOT exhibits excellent profit capabilities while balancing risks. Ablation studies validate the effectiveness of the components of MOT.

description: The reconstruction of past environments, including temperatures, aids in the production of climate models which predict how the Earth will respond to future climatic changes that are occurring at an accelerated rate, due to global warming. High-latitude seas, including the Bering Sea, are sensitive to changes in global climate, across both glacial and interglacial timescales. Membrane lipids synthesised by archaea and bacteria are retained within the sediment and when extracted give evidence to the environmental conditions present during the organism’s lifetime. The membrane lipids are structured in a way that is chemically favourable to their environment, and calibrations derived in other works were used to reconstruct paleoclimates herein. Thirty polar sediment extracts were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled via atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation to mass spectrometric detection (HPLC-APCI-MS). Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) ratios within the extracts were used to reconstruct sea surface temperatures (SSTs), mean air temperatures (MATs) and pH. Climatic and environmental parameters were successfully assessed and reconstructed using isoprenoid GDGTs (isoGDGTs), finding that GDGT distributions were characteristic of the open marine environment in most cases. Temperatures were found to be lowest on the transition from marine isotope stage (MIS) 6 to 5, while they peaked as MIS 5 closed. SSTs appeared to get cooler throughout glacial periods, while interglacial times were much more variable, particularly within MIS 5. Consideration was also given to the origin of the isoGDGTs, with the deep-water contribution found to be greatest across the 160-thousand-year (kya) period investigated. Branched GDGTs (brGDGTs) were also present, in lesser quantities and were used to determine MAT (between -5.8 and 10.4 °C) and pH (6.7 – 8.2) The findings showed a significant relationship between the GDGT distributions and numerous environmental proxies.
