description: To maximise fuel economy, bladed components in aero-engines operate close to material limits. The severe operating environment leads to in-service damage on compressor and turbine blades, having a profound and immediate impact on the performance of the engine. Current methods of blade visual inspection are mainly based on borescope imaging. During these inspections, the sentencing of components under inspection requires significant manual effort, with a lack of systematic approaches to avoid human biases. To perform fast and accurate sentencing, we propose an automatic workflow based on deep learning for detecting damage present on rotor blades using borescope videos. Building upon state-of-the-art methods from computer vision, we show that damage statistics can be presented for each blade in a blade row separately, and demonstrate the workflow on two borescope videos.

description: A toy model is proposed in which the cosmological constant and the baryon number density of the universe are interrelated. The model combines the mechanism of Dimopoulos and Susskind in which the baryon number density of the universe is generated by the time-dependence of the phase of a complex scalar field, i.e. its `angular momentum' in the two-dimensinal complex field space, with that of Yoshimura in which the `centrifugal force' due the `angular momentum' pushes the vacuum expectation value of the scalar field out of a negative potential minimum and provides a small but positive cosmological constant. Unfortunately, our model fails to relate the smallness of the two numbers directly, requiring a fine-tuning of the negative potential minimum.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fish total and gutted weight and length relationships, sex ratio, monthly evolution of condition factor, stomach repletion, maturity stages and gonosomatic index, and mean length at first maturity of Spanish (Chub) mackerel (Scomber japonicus, Houttuyn, 1782) in the Bay of Biscay are presented. 485 Chub mackerel from commercial landings caught mainly in the South-eastern Bay of Biscay (ICES Divisions VIII b,c), in the period [1989-1993] and 1997, are studied. The length range of specimina is between 13.6 and 47.5 cm of total length. All fish more than 30 cm length (4 and more years old) are found in spawning condition in May and June, spent in August, and from September to January in resting condition. Stomach repletion index is maximum from September to November. The fishery get usually the lowest catches from February to June and the highest values from September to November. Sex ratio observed for fish more than 30 cm length is close to 1:1. The total length (mm) - total weight (g) relationship is described by the multiplicative model: W = 0.00000102549 * L 3•376; r = 0.995.

description: Lentil seeds have been packed in a dielectric barrier device and exposed for several minutes to a cold atmospheric plasma generated in helium with/without a reactive gas (nitrogen or oxygen). While no impact is evidenced on germination rates (caping nearly at 100% with/without plasma exposure), seeds vigor is clearly improved with a median germination time decreasing from 1850 min (31h) to 1500 min (26 h), hence representing a time saving of at least 5 hours. We show that the admixture of nitrogen to helium can further increase this time saving up to 8 hours. Contrarily, we demonstrate that the addition of molecular oxygen to the helium discharge does not promote seeds vigor. Whatever the plasma chemistry utilized, these biological effects are accompanied with strong hydrophilization of the seed coating (with a decrease in contact angles from 118° to 25°) as well as increased water absorption (water uptakes measured 8 hours after imbibition are close to 50% for plasma-treated seeds instead of 37% for seeds from the control group). A follow-up of the seeds over a 45-days ageing period shows the sustainability of the plasma-triggered biological effects: whatever the plasma treatment, seeds vigor remains stable and much higher than for seeds unexposed to plasma). For these reasons, the seed-packed dielectric barrier device (SP-DBD) supplied with a He-N2 gas mixture can be considered as a relevant dry atmospheric priming plasma (DAPP) in the same way as those used in routine by seed companies.

description: This study explores the lived experiences of the public school teachers during COVID-19pandemic. The responses were analyzed through Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The following were study's findings: (1) Most teachers are significantly challenged by lack of resources, handling of students, and the submission and workloads that contribute to stress and burnout. (2) The occurrence of the digital age limited most public-school teachers. They hardly perform specific tasks for the students virtually, provide an effective learning environment, and communicate with students, given that the resources are inadequate. (3) Public-school teachers cope, resorting to the right communication and understanding in their circumstances. (4) Teachers gain positive experiences despite stress and burnout, it includes their passion, relationships build, and the fulfillment of their duty.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Sharks and rays are considered to be particularly vulnerable to fishing activities because of their reputed slow growth rates and low fecundity. Deep-water sharks, most of which belong to the family Squalidae, account for a significant proportion of the catches of bottom trawls and longlines on the continental slope to the west of the British Isles. Only a few species arc landed and sometimes it is only the liver that is retained. There is little information on what is being discarded and there are major problems with the correct taxonomic identification of both discards and landings. Data collected from trawl surveys since the 1970s defines the depth range of each species and also provides a record of their relative abundance prior to the exploitation of the deep-water fish stocks.Data on depth distribution and catch rates of nine squalid sharks (Centrophorus squamosus, Centroscyllium fabricii, Centroscynmus coelolepis, Centroscynmus crepidater, Dalatias licha, Deania calceus, Etmopterus princeps, Etmopterus spinax and Scynmodon ringens) and three scyliorhinid sharks (Apristurus spp., Galeus melastomus and Galeus nmrinus) have been compiled and are presented here. The SAMS sampling covered the whole continental slope to depths of 3000 m and therefore the total depth range of the squalid sharks has now been defined .

description: We report on the controlled transport of drops of magnetic liquid, which are swimming on top of a non-magnetic liquid layer. A magnetic field which is rotating in a vertical plane creates a torque on the drop. Due to surface stresses within the immiscible liquid beneath, the drop is propelled forward. We measure the drop speed for different field amplitudes, field frequencies and drop volumes. Simplifying theoretical models describe the drop either as a solid sphere with a Navier slip boundary condition, or as a liquid half-sphere. An analytical expression for the drop speed is obtained which is free of any fitting parameters and is well in accordance with the experimental measurements. Possible microfluidic applications of the rolling drop are also discussed.

description: When designing a benchmark problem set, it is important to create a set of benchmark problems that are a good generalization of the set of all possible problems. One possible way of easing this difficult task is by using artificially generated problems. In this paper, one such single-objective continuous problem generation approach is analyzed and compared with the COCO benchmark problem set, a well know problem set for benchmarking numerical optimization algorithms. Using Exploratory Landscape Analysis and Singular Value Decomposition, we show that such representations allow us to further explore the relations between the problems by applying visualization and correlation analysis techniques, with the goal of decreasing the bias in benchmark problem assessment.

Path Gain Algebraic Formulation for the Scalar Linear Network Coding Problem
Creators: name: Subramanian, Abhay T.
name: Thangaraj, Andrew
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)

description: In the algebraic view, the solution to a network coding problem is seen as a variety specified by a system of polynomial equations typically derived by using edge-to-edge gains as variables. The output from each sink is equated to its demand to obtain polynomial equations. In this work, we propose a method to derive the polynomial equations using source-to-sink path gains as the variables. In the path gain formulation, we show that linear and quadratic equations suffice; therefore, network coding becomes equivalent to a system of polynomial equations of maximum degree 2. We present algorithms for generating the equations in the path gains and for converting path gain solutions to edge-to-edge gain solutions. Because of the low degree, simplification is readily possible for the system of equations obtained using path gains. Using small-sized network coding problems, we show that the path gain approach results in simpler equations and determines solvability of the problem in certain cases. On a larger network (with 87 nodes and 161 edges), we show how the path gain approach continues to provide deterministic solutions to some network coding problems.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.From the end of XIX century to the 1950', spiny lobster (Palinurus e/ephas) fishing has been an important economical activity for potters of Brittany and led to landings over two thousands tons. Later, impoverishment of traditional fishing grounds and closure, to French fleet, of foreign fishing area obliged a reconversion of potters toward crabs ( edible crab and spider crab). Recently in the 80', development of a netting activity has restarted catches of spiny lobster (at a modest scale). Presently, the only reglementary measure concerning this species/metier is a national minimum legal size (total length) but European Commission has wished that a European MLS would be established. In that aim, this paper presents the main features of spiny lobster fishing in France, it brings data on reproduction and mean female size at first reproduction and it reviews various biometrical relationship published by European authors. A proposition is made for MLS (carapace length).

description: У статті досліджуються питання, пов’язані з ключовими складовими цілісної транспортної системи України. У контексті адміністративно-правового регулювання транспортної системи, розглядаються окремі законодавчі акти, що формують основу такого регулювання. Вказано, що розвиток цієї галузі залежить від багатьох чинників і, передусім, від належного адміністративно-правового регулювання, адже така динамічна та складна система потребує постійного вдосконалення, адаптації до нових потреб споживачів та умов бізнес-середовища і правового поля.

Особливо підкреслено те, що в сучасних умовах, коли стан економіки відіграє важливу роль для функціонування держави, її обороноздатності та суверенітету, саме транспортна галузь, по суті, виступає стратегічною галуззю економіки, яка дозволяє у складних соціально-економічних умовах бути стабільним джерелом наповнення бюджетів усіх рівнів.

Зроблено висновок, що сьогодні вже сформована основа правового регулювання основних видів транспорту, шляхом прийняття базового Закону України «Про транспорт», а також низки Законів, що регламентують порядок діяльності окремих видів транспорту. Натомість, з огляду на динамічний розвиток транспортної галузі правове регулювання цієї сфери вимагатиме подальшого розвитку та удосконалення.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The abundance of the 1991-1994-year classes of north-east Arctic cod and haddock at the age of six month have been estimated on the basis of Norwegian acoustic data from the International 0-group fish survey in the Barents Sea and adjacent waters. These results have been analysed in relation to the abundance of the respective year classes at ages 1-3, computed by VPA with the XSA tuning procedure based on catch-at-age data including catch and cannibalism/-predation by cod. This study indicates a reasonable agreement of the 0-group fish abundance and the abundance of age group 1-3 in the pre-recruit phase.
Reported social support seeking behaviour of fathers of elementary school aged children diagnosed with learning difficulties

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Using Q-technique, 15 fathers of children diagnosed with severe learning disabilities, sorted 41 statements concerning use of their potential formal and informal social network members. Additional demographic and descriptive data, and scores from the Perceived Social Support scales (Family, Friends), were used to analyze the possible effects of a number of variables on fathers' sorting patterns. Fathers reported their spouse as their primary source of support/information, and child's immediate school personnel as their secondary resource. Subdividing fathers into perceived-High and perceived-Low support groups indicated that the Low subgroup reported their spouse as their most significant social contact; also, that contacting School Board personnel was a somewhat more usual behaviour than for the High subgroup. As spousal support was clearly primary, fathers were also subgrouped according to their wives' employment, and thus their availability for support. Comparisons indicated fathers with working wives were more likely to report going to their informal intimate network (family, friends, spouse's family) and, to be notably more active in contacting various school personnel involved in their children's school difficulties. Fathers with at-home wives appeared to follow more traditional patterns of social interactions, with less school contact behaviour reported. Fathers differed on several demographics when subgrouped according to whether their target child was first-born, or subsequent-born (2nd or 3rd). First-born children were younger, were more likely to be enrolled in regular classes at present, and their mothers were more likely to be working. Additional data showed that 14 of the 15 target children were boys, and that the families had predominantly male children in total (28 of 32), an unexpected finding. Future research directions are discussed. In order to utilize fathers in the children's educational programme, suggestions axe pointed out for various school personnel, from the home room teacher to school board administrators.
Stability of solar atmospheric structures harboring standing slow waves: An analytical model in a compressible plasma

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Context: In the context of the solar coronal heating problem, one possible explanation for the high coronal temperature is the release of energy by magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. The energy transfer is believed to be possible, among others, by the development of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) in coronal loops. Aims: Our aim is to determine if standing slow waves in solar atmospheric structures such as coronal loops, and also prominence threads, sunspots, and pores, can trigger the KHI due to the oscillating shear flow at the structure's boundary. Methods: We used linearized nonstationary MHD to work out an analytical model in a cartesian reference frame. The model describes a compressible plasma near a discontinuous interface separating two regions of homogeneous plasma, each harboring an oscillating velocity field with a constant amplitude which is parallel to the background magnetic field and aligned with the interface. The obtained analytical results were then used to determine the stability of said interface, both in coronal and photospheric conditions. Results: We find that the stability of the interface is determined by a Mathieu equation. In function of the parameters of this equation, the interface can either be stable or unstable. For coronal as well as photospheric conditions, we find that the interface is stable with respect to the KHI. Theoretically, it can, however, be unstable with respect to a parametric resonance instability, although it seems physically unlikely. We conclude that, in this simplified setup, a standing slow wave does not trigger the KHI without the involvement of additional physical processes.

description: Proliferating cell populations at steady state growth often exhibit broad protein distributions with exponential tails. The sources of this variation and its universality are of much theoretical interest. Here we address the problem by asymptotic analysis of the Population Balance Equation. We show that the steady state distribution tail is determined by a combination of protein production and cell division and is insensitive to other model details. Under general conditions this tail is exponential with a dependence on parameters consistent with experiment. We discuss the conditions for this effect to be dominant over other sources of variation and the relation to experiments.

We prove that if a type-(p,q) compact manifold M supports a conformal action of a connected nilpotent group H, then the degree of nilpotence of H is at most 2p+1, assuming p <= q; further, if this maximal degree is attained, then M is conformally equivalent to the universal type-(p,q), compact, conformally flat space, up to finite covers. The proofs make use of the canonical Cartan geometry associated to a pseudo-Riemannian conformal structure.

description: Dictyostelium intermedium is a member of dictyostelids, the unicellular eukaryotes with a unique life cycle, including a social cycle. Despite the high diversity of dictyostelids, only five species' complete mitochondrial genome sequences were reported. This study aimed to add the D. intermedium mitochondrial genome sequence to the list. The size of this genome is 58,627 bp, with 73.99% A/T, containing 62 genes located on one strand: 41 protein-coding genes, three ribosomal RNA genes, and 18 transfer RNA genes. The 41 protein-coding genes comprised 18 oxidative phosphorylation-related, 16 ribosomal, and seven hypothetical protein-coding genes. The cox1/2 and rnl gene contained introns, similar to other species of Dictyostelium. The phylogenetic tree built based on 34 protein sequences supported the monophyletic clade of Dictyostelium and the dictyostelids' ancestor's position between the two dictyostelids orders: Dictyosteliales and Acytosteliales.

Subjects: SECS-P/01 Economia politica

description: This paper investigates the impact of free trade on welfare in a two-country world modelled as an international Hotelling duopoly with quadratic transport costs and asymmetric countries, where
a negative environmental externality is associated with the consumption of the good produced in the smaller country. Countries’ relative sizes as well as the intensity of negative environmental externality
affect potential welfare gains of trade liberalisation. In line with Lambertini (1997a) we show that, as long as no trade policy is undertaken by the government of the larger country, trade liberalisation
is not feasible since the latter always loses from opening to trade. A subsidy policy in favour of the firm producing the clean good is, on the contrary, shown to give both countries the right incentives to
liberalize trade. Allowing for redistributive transfers between countries further extends the parametric range for which trade liberalisation is feasible under the subsidy scheme. The alternative situation,
in which the green firm is based in the larger country, is also briefly sketched to find that free trade does give rise to a global welfare increment with no need of accompanying trade policies.

It has been widespread since the beginning of Christianity throughout the whole world. Thus, this study aims to explore Filipino pastors' lived experiences in the Christian online ministry during the pandemic, specifically: (1) to describe the lived experiences on their online ministry; (2) to describe the different challenges on their online church ministry; and (3) to describe their coping mechanisms and attitude towards shepherding the community. Utilizing the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the study findings are the following: (1) Pastors are mostly challenged by emotional, mental, and physical problems due to isolation and the online ministry's weight. They experienced much stress, exhaustion, loneliness, depression, anxieties, and fear. (2) Most of the pastors are challenged by slow internet access and limitations of assistive gadgets and other technologies. Most of them struggled to preach the Word through online meetings and live-streams and experienced a lack of materials and equipment for the online ministry. (3) Pastors need healthy social and financial support. (4) Most pastors gained positive and new experiences in the online ministry.

description: We present the results of a search for faint HI 21-cm emission line wings at velocities forbidden by Galactic rotation in the Galactic plane using the Leiden/Dwingeloo HI Survey data and the HI Southern Galactic Plane Survey data. These ``forbidden-velocity wings (FVWs)'' appear as protruding excessive emission in comparison with their surroundings in limited (< 2 deg) spatial regions over velocity extent more than ~20 km/s in large-scale (l-v) diagrams. Their high-velocities imply that there should be some dynamical phenomena associated. We have identified 87 FVWs. We present their catalog, and discuss their distribution and statistical properties. We found that 85% of FVWs are not coincident with known supernova remnants (SNRs), galaxies, or high-velocity clouds. Their natures are currently unknown. We suspect that many of them are fast-moving HI shells and filaments associated with the oldest SNRs that are essentially invisible except via their HI line emission. We discuss other possible origins.

description: The pink sea fan, Eunicella verrucosa (Pallas, 1766), inhabits rocky substrates across the northeast Atlantic and the western Mediterranean. Across much of its range it has been detrimentally affected by fishing. DNA from 17 E. verrucosa specimens was amplified by phi29-induced rolling circle amplification. Following purification by sodium acetate-ethanol precipitation, the circular genomic DNA was sequenced on an Illumina MiSeq v2. Specimens originated from sites along the west coast of Ireland, southwest Wales, southwest/southern England, northwest France, southern Portugal, and the Mediterranean coast of northeast Spain. All samples had identical mitochondrial genome sequences of 19,267 bp and included 14 protein-coding genes (including the mutS gene), two ribosomal RNA subunits (12S and 16S) and one methionine tRNA gene. Two genes (nad2 and nad5) overlapped by 13 bp; all other genes were separated by non-coding intergenic regions. All protein-coding genes had the same start codon (ATG) and a TAA or TAG stop codon, except for cox1 that terminated with the incomplete stop codon T--. The mitochondrial genome of E. verrucosa (MW588805) showed 99.72% similarity with that of a related sea fan species, Eunicella cavolini, with six SNPs and a 49 bp deletion between nad5 and nad4 in E. verrucosa distinguishing the two.

description: Il presente studio si propone come una rilettura del profilo drammaturgico e teatrale di Sarah Kane a partire dalla ricostruzione e integrazione dei dati biografici e delle interazioni artistiche e personali dell’autrice.
Lo studio si articola in due sezioni: in un primo momento esso inquadra contestualmente la drammaturgia inglese del secondo dopoguerra, origine della prima generazione dei Giovani Arrabbiati e sostrato della trasformazione teatrale britannica degli anni Novanta. La seconda sezione, invece, si articola come un’indagine biografica della vita della Kane scandita da documenti e immagini inediti. Tali immagini restituiscono una preziosa testimonianza dei primi spettacoli giovanili, delle prime regie e del percorso professionale maturo della drammaturga/regista, oltre a far luce sulla sua vita personale e famigliare e sugli influssi della stessa sul suo teatro.
Inoltre, lo studio approfondito delle vicende biografiche dell’autrice ridisegna le caratteristiche fondanti dell'universo teatrale britannico comprendendo il valore che hanno: i teatri, la critica giornalistica e le strutture universitarie, per la configurazione del sistema teatrale.
description: This thesis sets itself to re-examine Sarah Kane’s both dramaturgical and theatrical profile, starting from the reconstruction and integration of Kane’s biography and her artistic and personal interactions.
This work is structured in two main sections: at first it contextualises British dramaturgy after WWII, birth-place of the first generation of the Angry Young Men and foundation for 1990’s British theatre transformation. The second section sets itself as a biographic research on Sarah Kane, integrated with unpublished documents and images. These images constitute priceless proof of Kane’s first early plays, her first directions and her mature professional itinerary. Moreover, it throws a light on Kane’s both personal and family life as well as its influence on her theatrical work.
Furthermore, this in-depth study of Kane’s biography reshapes the founding characteristics of the British theatrical universe by understanding the value of: theatres, press criticism and university structures, for the configuration of the theatrical structure.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Because of an increasing interest in utilizing fishable mussel beds in Iceland an investigation was carried out on biomass, distribution and population structure of .Mytilus edulis in Hvalfjördur south-west Iceland: A dredge survey was conducted during June 1994 to provide a first assessment of resources of blue mussels in this area. Subtidal mussel beds were identified by an underwater tv-camera arid their size was estimated. As only fishable mussel beds were of interest dredging was used for sampling at water deptl1 > 2 m at low tide. During U1e survey mussels were found at 16 out of 30 stations investigated and the beds were located at 2-6 m depth. No fishable mussel beds were found at the mouth and the outer part of the fjord. The maximum densities, 2.1 - 3.9 kg m-2, were found in the innermost part of the fjord and U1e estimated total biomass in all areas investigated was 12,876 tonnes. The greatest number of the mussels sampled by the dredge had heavy shells where width exceeded shell height. At most of the stations investigated shell length over 60 mm dominated in number and the shells in the catch were mainly of commercial size (shell length >50 mm) .

description: Electric vector potential $Θ(\boldsymbol{r})$ is a legitimate but rarely used tool to calculate the steady electric field in free-charge regions. Commonly, it is preferred to employ the scalar electric potential $Φ(\boldsymbol{r})$ rather than $Θ(\boldsymbol{r})$ in most of the electrostatic problems. However, the electric vector potential formulation can be a viable representation to study certain systems. One of them is the surface electrode SE, a planar finite region $\mathcal{A}_{-}$ kept at a fixed electric potential with the rest grounded including a gap of thickness $ν$ between electrodes. In this document we use the \textit{Helmholtz Decomposition Theorem} and the electric vector potential formulation to provide integral expressions for the surface charge density and the electric field of the SE of arbitrary contour $\partial\mathcal{A}$. We also present an alternative derivation of the result found in [M. Oliveira and J. A. Miranda 2001 Eur. J. Phys. 22 31] for the gapless ($ν=0$) surface electrode GSE without invoking any analogy between the GSE and magnetostatics. It is shown that electric vector potential and the electric field of the gapped circular SE at any point can be obtained from an average of the gapless solution on the gap. Keywords: Electric vector potential, surface-electrode, Helmholtz Decomposition, Green's theorem.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The differences on the infestation rates of the oceanic redfish (Sebastes mentella) by the parasitic copepod Sphyrion lumpi has been one of the traditional criteria used to discriminate between two hypothetical stocks in the Irrninger Sea: the deep-water and the pelagic one. In this paper, the infestation rates of the oceanic redfish are analysed using data obtained in 1995 and 1996 from the commercial fishing fleet in this area. Two depth layers are compared: from 150 to 500 m. and from 501 to 1000 m. Differences between years and between sexes are also analysed and a discussion on'tlie suitability of this parameter as a discriminant tool is provided.
Local supersymmetric extensions of the Poincare and AdS invariant gravity

description: In all the odd dimensions which allow Majorana spinors, we consider a gravitational Lagrangian possessing local Poincare invariance and given by the dimensional continuation of the Euler density in one dimension less. We show that the local supersymmetric extension of this Lagrangian requires the algebra to be the maximal extension of the N=1 super-Poincare algebra. By maximal, we mean that in the right hand side of the anticommutator of the Majorana super charge appear all the possible central charges. The resulting action defines a Chern-Simons gauge theory for the maximal extension of the super-Poincare algebra. In these dimensions, we address the same problem for the AdS invariant gravity and we derive its supersymmetric extension for the minimal super-AdS algebra. The connection between both models is realized at the algebraic level through an expansion of their corresponding Lie super algebras. Within a procedure consistent with the expansion of the algebras, the local supersymmetric extension of the Poincare invariant gravity Lagrangian is derived from the super AdS one.

$K$-averaging agent-based model: propagation of chaos and convergence to equilibrium

description: The paper treats an agent-based model with averaging dynamics to which we refer as the K-averaging model. Broadly speaking, our model can be added to the growing list of dynamics exhibiting self-organization such as the well-known Vicsek-type models [1, 2, 29]. In the $K$-averaging model, each of the $N$ particles updates their position by averaging over $K$ randomly selected particles with additional noise. To make the $K$-averaging dynamics more tractable, we first establish a propagation of chaos type result in the limit of infinite particle number (i.e. $N \to \infty$) using a martingale technique. Then, we prove the convergence of the limit equation toward a suitable Gaussian distribution in the sense of Wasserstein distance as well as relative entropy. We provide additional numerical simulations to illustrate both results.

description: We develop a new quantifier for forward time uncertainty for trajectories that are solutions of models generated from data sets. Our uncertainty quantifier is defined on the phase space in which the trajectories evolve and we show that it has a rich structure that is directly related to phase space structures from dynamical systems theory, such as hyperbolic trajectories and their stable and unstable manifolds. We apply our approach to an ocean data set, as well as standard benchmark models from deterministic dynamical systems theory. A significant application of our results, is that they allow a quantitative comparison of the transport performance described from different ocean data sets. This is particularly interesting nowadays when a wide variety of sources are available, since our methodology provides avenues for assessing the effective use of these data sets in a variety of situations.
