Climate change hotspots mapping: what have we learned?
Creators: name: De Sherbinin, Alexander M.

Year: 2013
Subjects: Atmosphere

description: In the past 5 years there has been a proliferation of efforts to map climate change “hotspots” — regions that are particularly vulnerable to current or future climate impacts, and where human security may be at risk. While some are academic exercises, many are produced with the goal of drawing policy maker attention to regions that are particularly susceptible to climate impacts, either to mitigate the risk of humanitarian crises or conflicts or to target adaptation assistance. Hotspots mapping efforts address a range of issues and sectors such as vulnerable populations, humanitarian crises, conflict, agriculture and food security, and water resources. This paper offers a timely assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of current hotspots mapping approaches with the goal of improving future efforts. It also highlights regions that are anticipated, based on combinations of high exposure, high sensitivity and low adaptive capacity, to suffer significant impacts from climate change.

description: In vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a very common treatment for couples with infertility. However, IVF-ET still has a limited success rate with high costs. Chinese herbal medicines (CHM) have been used as complementary treatments for infertility to improve the reproductive outcomes during different stages of the IVF-ET cycle. This review provides an up to date evidence on CHM treatments. We summarize the treatment protocols based on the stages of IVF-ET cycle and discuss its clinical applications in IVF-ET treatment. The possible underlying mechanisms of CHM include improving ovarian function, promoting endometrial receptivity, regulating immune function, inhibiting oxidation, and reducing mental stress and discomfort during treatment. This review aims to provide information and guidance on the potential clinical applications of CHM as an adjuvant therapy during IVF-ET treatment.
Global Existence and Increased Spatial Decay for the Radial Vlasov-Poisson System with Steady Spatial Asymptotics

description: A collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Poisson system in three space dimensions. A fixed background of positive charge, which is independent of time and space, is assumed. The situation in which mobile negative ions balance the positive charge as x tends to infinity is considered. Hence the total positive charge, total negative charge, and total energy are all infinite. Smooth solutions with appropriate asymptotic behavior for large x, which were previously shown to exist locally in time, are continued globally for spherically symmetric data. This is done by showing that the charge density decays at least as fast as x^{-4}. Finally, an increased decay rate of x^{-6} is shown in the general case without the assumption of spherical symmetry.

description: Magnetic fields created in the noncentral heavy-ion collision are studied within a microscopic transport model, namely the Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (UrQMD). Simulations were carried out for different impact parameters within the SPS energy range ($E_{lab} = 10 - 158 A$ GeV) and for highest energies accessible for RHIC. We show that the magnetic field emerging in heavy-ion collisions has the magnitude of the order of $eB_y \sim 10^{-1} m_π^2$ for the SPS energy range and $eB_y \sim m_π^2$ for the RHIC energies. The estimated value of the magnetic field strength for the LHC energy amounts to $eB_y \sim 15 m_π^2$.

description: BACKGROUND: Alirocumab, a monoclonal antibody to proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), lowers plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and apolipoprotein B100 (apoB). Although studies in mice and cells have identified increased hepatic LDL receptors as the basis for LDL lowering by PCSK9 inhibitors, there have been no human studies characterizing the effects of PCSK9 inhibitors on lipoprotein metabolism. In particular, it is not known whether inhibition of PCSK9 has any effects on very low-density lipoprotein or intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) metabolism. Inhibition of PCSK9 also results in reductions of plasma lipoprotein (a) levels. The regulation of plasma Lp(a) levels, including the role of LDL receptors in the clearance of Lp(a), is poorly defined, and no mechanistic studies of the Lp(a) lowering by alirocumab in humans have been published to date. METHODS: Eighteen (10 F, 8 mol/L) participants completed a placebo-controlled, 2-period study. They received 2 doses of placebo, 2 weeks apart, followed by 5 doses of 150 mg of alirocumab, 2 weeks apart. At the end of each period, fractional clearance rates (FCRs) and production rates (PRs) of apoB and apo(a) were determined. In 10 participants, postprandial triglycerides and apoB48 levels were measured. RESULTS: Alirocumab reduced ultracentrifugally isolated LDL-C by 55.1%, LDL-apoB by 56.3%, and plasma Lp(a) by 18.7%. The fall in LDL-apoB was caused by an 80.4% increase in LDL-apoB FCR and a 23.9% reduction in LDL-apoB PR. The latter was due to a 46.1% increase in IDL-apoB FCR coupled with a 27.2% decrease in conversion of IDL to LDL. The FCR of apo(a) tended to increase (24.6%) without any change in apo(a) PR. Alirocumab had no effects on FCRs or PRs of very low-density lipoproteins-apoB and very low-density lipoproteins triglycerides or on postprandial plasma triglycerides or apoB48 concentrations. CONCLUSIONS: Alirocumab decreased LDL-C and LDL-apoB by increasing IDL- and LDL-apoB FCRs and decreasing LDL-apoB PR. These results are consistent with increases in LDL receptors available to clear IDL and LDL from blood during PCSK9 inhibition. The increase in apo(a) FCR during alirocumab treatment suggests that increased LDL receptors may also play a role in the reduction of plasma Lp(a).

\Barbie and Ken - creating and sustaining the myth\" : the construction of gender in the kindergarten"
Creators: name: Mawson, BM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This paper reviews the core theories which have sought to describe and explain gender differences. The major tenets of each theory are considered and examined critically from a feminist poststructuralist perspective. The specific role that schools play in the construction of gender is also analysed using feminist postructuralist theory and this analysis is supported by references to a participant observation study undertaken by the author in her own classroom. The research presented in this paper sought to describe and analyse the process by which young children are positioned, and position themselves, as separately male and female, when they first enter the school system. The study was based on teacher observations and interventions as well as a survey of parent observations. The implications of the research findings are considered in relation to appropriate curriculum provision and teaching practices for early childhood classrooms. The final section of the paper looks at ways to change teachers' thinking about gender. It provides a model for teacher professional development programs which could effectively address the critical issues about gender and schools. It is argued that critical educational theory and feminist poststructuralism together provide the best principles for planning appropriate professional development programs for teachers.

description: Surface meltwater drains across ice sheets, forming melt ponds that can trigger ice-shelf collapse, acceleration of grounded ice flow and increased sea-level rise. Numerical models of the Antarctic Ice Sheet that incorporate meltwater’s impact on ice shelves, but ignore the movement of water across the ice surface, predict a metre of global sea-level rise this century5 in response to atmospheric warming. To understand the impact of water moving across the ice surface a broad quantification of surface meltwater and its drainage is needed. Yet, despite extensive research in Greenland and observations of individual drainage systems in Antarctica, we have little understanding of Antarctic-wide surface hydrology or how it will evolve. Here we show widespread drainage of meltwater across the surface of the ice sheet through surface streams and ponds (hereafter ‘surface drainage’) as far south as 85° S and as high as 1,300 metres above sea level. Our findings are based on satellite imagery from 1973 onwards and aerial photography from 1947 onwards. Surface drainage has persisted for decades, transporting water up to 120 kilometres from grounded ice onto and across ice shelves, feeding vast melt ponds up to 80 kilometres long. Large-scale surface drainage could deliver water to areas of ice shelves vulnerable to collapse, as melt rates increase this century. While Antarctic surface melt ponds are relatively well documented on some ice shelves, we have discovered that ponds often form part of widespread, large-scale surface drainage systems. In a warming climate, enhanced surface drainage could accelerate future ice-mass loss from Antarctic, potentially via positive feedbacks between the extent of exposed rock, melting and thinning of the ice sheet.

description: Supersymmetric probe branes satisfy the kappa-symmetry condition which ensures that the action is minimized with respect to both variations of the embedding and of the world-volume gauge field. We observe that the kappa-symmetry condition for a D7-brane in an imaginary self-dual (ISD) background can be generalized yielding minimization of the action with respect to variations of the gauge field only but not of the embedding. This provides a new way to construct non-BPS solutions for D7-branes once the embedding extremizes the geometrical volume of the brane. We then apply this method to the Klebanov-Strassler background and find a new D7-anti D7-brane configuration that realizes the spontaneous breaking of flavor chiral symmetry as evidenced by the Goldstone boson identified in the spectrum. This result generalizes our previous construction for the Klebanov-Witten model. We compare our setup with the Sakai-Sugimoto model and discuss possible applications to QCD-like physics.

description: We demonstrate a two-dimensional atom interferometer in a harmonic magnetic waveguide using a Bose-Einstein condensate. Such an interferometer could measure rotation using the Sagnac effect. Compared to free space interferometers, larger interactions times and enclosed areas can in principle be achieved, since the atoms are not in free fall. In this implementation, we induce the atoms to oscillate along one direction by displacing the trap center. We then split and recombine the atoms along an orthogonal direction, using an off-resonant optical standing wave. We enclose a maximum effective area of 0.1 square mm, limited by fluctuations in the initial velocity and the coherence time of the interferometer. We argue that this arrangement is scalable to enclose larger areas by increasing the coherence time and then making repeated loops.

description: Abstract

The condition of Sharia banking in Indonesia, with a Muslim population of 87.18 per cent, does not make Sharia banking a thing leader in the national banking industry because the total assets of Sharia banks are still 4.14 per cent, as the condition of Sharia banking in Bali Province, with 12.08 per cent of the Muslim population. However, Sharia bank assets are still 1.95 per cent. This is very contradictory. This research aims to explain knowledge, awareness, and beliefs in constructing attitudes and subjective norms, attitudes, and behavioral control in constructing intentions. The population in this study was the Muslim population in Bali Province, numbering 520,244 people. The sample size was 150 respondents, and respondents were Muslims who were not yet customers of Islamic banks. This research was analyzed using the SEM-PLS analysis technique. The research results show that knowledge has a significant positive effect on attitudes. Awareness does not have a significant effect on attitudes. Awareness has a positive and significant effect on trust. Trust has a positive and significant effect on attitudes. Attitude has a positive and significant effect on intention. Subjective norms have a positive and significant effect on intentions. Behavioral control has a positive and significant effect on intention. Mediation testing proved that trust fully mediates the relationship between awareness and attitude. The theoretical implications of this research enrich empirical evidence and develop the Theory of Planned Behavior primarily related to knowledge, awareness, beliefs, attitudes, subjective norms, behavioral control, and intention to become a Sharia bank customer. Practical implications provide insight to the management of Sharia banks that awareness about Sharia banks is still low. However, with high trust, Sharia banks still have the opportunity to create better attitudes in forming intentions to become customers, reasonably high subjective norms, and reasonable behavioral control to create intentions to become Sharia bank customers.
Compact structure in southern peaked spectrum radio sources
Creators: name: King, EA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Data for a sample of forty three Southern radio sources is presented. The majority of the sources have spectra that are steep at high frequencies and that peak, or at least flatten markedly, below a few giga-hertz. The sources have been studied through both single dish observations and VLBI. A dual frequency (2.3 and 8.4 GHz) flux density monitoring program lasting nearly two and a half years and comprising measurements of all sources at intervals of between one and three weeks has shown that the incidence of variability is systematically low in peaked spectrum sources. This observation is consistent with the assertion that the energy source powering the luminous cores in this type object is of a different nature to that driving the compact cores seen in many powerful fl.at spectrum radio sources. In order that the observations could be performed on a regular basis with minimum user intervention, an automated observing and data acquisition system was implemented. To stabilise the receiver gain, the system incorporates a versatile.software implementation of a noise adding radiometer. ¬¨‚àë The recently established Southern Hemisphere VLBI Experiment (SHEVE) array is described and its capabilities and limitations discussed. The operational procedures and special difficulties inherent in the operation of the array are explained. Images for nine sources made from observations with the SHEVE array are presented. For seven of the sources, images are available at both 2.3 and 8.4 GHz. The images have a mean dynamic range of 65: 1 and provide accurate measu!ements of the detailed structure in these sources, including component sizes, flux densities and spectral indices. All of the peaked spectrum sources imaged are doubles and few show any evidence of significant extended structure. These data constitute the first high resolution observations for six of the sources. Observations with a single baseline interferometer have provided the first survey of the compact structure in thirty eight of the sources in the sample. Simple models representing the basic source structures have been fit to the data for all objects detected in this survey. These models show that about two thirds of the sources surveyed have more than one component at milli-arcsecond resolution. A comparison of the models with the images is used to set limits on the reliability of the model fitting results. A database of all the source properties obtained, both through the observations described, and compiled from the literature is presented. Numerous parameters intrinsic to the sources are calculated using these data and are briefly discussed.
Nonlinear Ramsey interferometry with the Rosen-Zener pulses on a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate

description: We propose a feasible scheme to realize nonlinear Ramsey interferometry with a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate, where the nonlinearity arises from the interaction between coherent atoms. In our scheme, two Rosen-Zener pulses are separated by an intermediate holding period of variable duration and through varying the holding period we have observed nice Ramsey interference patterns in time domain. In contrast to the standard Ramsey fringes our nonlinear Ramsey patterns display diversiform structures ascribed to the interplay of the nonlinearity and asymmetry. In particular, we find that the frequency of the nonlinear Ramsey fringes exactly reflects the strength of nonlinearity as well as the asymmetry of system. Our finding suggests a potential application of the nonlinear Ramsey interferometry in calibrating the atomic parameters such as scattering length and energy spectrum.

description: A mobile robot represented by a point moving in the plane has to explore an unknown terrain with obstacles. Both the terrain and the obstacles are modeled as arbitrary polygons. We consider two scenarios: the unlimited vision, when the robot situated at a point p of the terrain explores (sees) all points q of the terrain for which the segment pq belongs to the terrain, and the limited vision, when we require additionally that the distance between p and q be at most 1. All points of the terrain (except obstacles) have to be explored and the performance of an exploration algorithm is measured by the length of the trajectory of the robot. For unlimited vision we show an exploration algorithm with complexity O(P + D?k), where P is the total perimeter of the terrain (including perimeters of obstacles), D is the diameter of the convex hull of the terrain, and k is the number of obstacles. We do not assume knowledge of these parameters. We also prove a matching lower bound showing that the above complexity is optimal, even if the terrain is known to the robot. For limited vision we show exploration algorithms with complexity O(P + A + ?Ak), where A is the area of the terrain (excluding obstacles). Our algorithms work either for arbitrary terrains, if one of the parameters A or k is known, or for c-fat terrains, where c is any constant (unknown to the robot) and no additional knowledge is assumed. (A terrain T with obstacles is c-fat if R/r ? c, where R is the radius of the smallest disc containing T and r is the radius of the largest disc contained in T .) We also prove a matching lower bound ?(P + A + ?Ak) on the complexity of exploration for limited vision, even if the terrain is known to the robot.

Some aspects of environmental variability in relation to stock recruitment systems

Year: 2011

description: For a variety of stock-recruit systems in which environmental variability is simulated by random normal deviates used as multipliers or divisors Ricker (1958) and Larkin and Ricker (1964) demonstrated the benefits of complete stabilization of escapement as opposed to removal of a fixed proportion of the stock each year. Part I is primarily concerned with the response of these same systems to a pattern of stochastic modification which is more regular in form, a pattern such as might be imagined to result from long-term trends in environmental conditions. In addition, some mathematical properties of these systems are discussed. Part II considers the stock-recruit relationship from a more reductionist or mechanistic point of view. Evidence for differential utilization of spawning areas is presented and spawner distributions in three different environments are compared. These results are discussed in terms of their relevance to existing stock-recruit theory. Also, observations on egg retention and social facilitation are presented.

description: Background Asthma gene DNA methylation may underlie the effects of air pollution on airway inflammation. However, the temporality and individual susceptibility to environmental epigenetic regulation of asthma has not been fully elucidated. Our objective was to determine the timeline of black carbon (BC) exposure, measured by personal sampling, on DNA methylation of allergic asthma genes 5 days later to capture usual weather variations and differences related to changes in behavior and activities. We also sought to determine how methylation may vary by seroatopy and cockroach sensitization and by elevated fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO). Methods Personal BC levels were measured during two 24-h periods over a 6-day sampling period in 163 New York City children (age 9–14 years), repeated 6 months later. During home visits, buccal cells were collected as noninvasive surrogates for lower airway epithelial cells and FeNO measured as an indicator of airway inflammation. CpG promoter loci of allergic asthma genes (e.g., interleukin 4 (IL4), interferon gamma (IFNγ), inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2A)), arginase 2 (ARG2)) were pyrosequenced at the start and end of each sampling period. Results Higher levels of BC were associated with lower methylation of IL4 promoter CpG−48 5 days later. The magnitude of association between BC exposure and demethylation of IL4 CpG−48 and NOS2A CpG+5099 measured 5 days later appeared to be greater among seroatopic children, especially those sensitized to cockroach allergens (RR [95% CI] 0.55 [0.37–0.82] and 0.67 [0.45–0.98] for IL4 CpG−48 and NOS2A CpG+5099, respectively), compared to non-sensitized children (RR [95% CI] 0.87 [0.65–1.17] and 0.95 [0.69–1.33] for IL4 CpG−48 and NOS2A CpG+5099, respectively); however, the difference was not statistically different. In multivariable linear regression models, lower DNA methylation of IL4 CpG−48 and NOS2A CpG+5099 were associated with increased FeNO. Conclusions Our results suggest that exposure to BC may exert asthma proinflammatory gene demethylation 5 days later that in turn may link to airway inflammation. Our results further suggest that seroatopic children, especially those sensitized to cockroach allergens, may be more susceptible to the effect of acute BC exposure on epigenetic changes.

description: BACKGROUND: Both short and long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollutants have been associated with asthma and reduced lung function. We hypothesized that short-term indoor exposure to fine particulate matter <2.5 μm (PM2.5) and vanadium (V) would be associated with altered buccal cell DNA methylation of targeted asthma genes and decreased lung function among urban children in a nested subcohort of African American and Dominican children. METHODS: Six day integrated levels of air pollutants were measured from children's homes (age 9-14; n = 163), repeated 6 months later (n = 98). Buccal samples were collected repeatedly during visits. CpG promoter loci of asthma genes (i.e., interleukin 4 (IL4), interferon gamma (IFNγ), inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2A), arginase 2 (ARG2)) were pyrosequenced and lung function was assessed. RESULTS: Exposure to V, but not PM2.5, was associated with lower DNA methylation of IL4 and IFNγ. In exploratory analyses, V levels were associated with lower methylation of the proinflammatory NOS2A-CpG+5099 among asthmatic overweight or obese children but not nonasthmatics. Short-term exposure to PM2.5, but not V, appeared associated with lower lung function (i.e., reduced z-scores for forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1, FEV1/ forced vital capacity [FEV1/FVC] and forced expiratory flow at 25-75% of FVC [FEF25-75]). CONCLUSIONS: Exposure to V was associated with altered DNA methylation of allergic and proinflammatory asthma genes implicated in air pollution related asthma. However, short-term exposure to PM2.5, but not V, appeared associated with decrements in lung function among urban children.

description: IceCube is a cubic-kilometer neutrino telescope under construction at the geographic South Pole. Once completed it will comprise 4800 optical sensors deployed on 80 vertical strings at depths in the ice between 1450 and 2450 meters. Part of the array is already operational and data was recorded in the configurations with 9 (year 2006/2007), 22 (year 2007/2008) and 40-strings (year 2008/2009) respectively. Here we report preliminary results on the search for point-like neutrino sources using data collected with the first 22 strings (IC-22).

An air mass climatology of Canada during the early nineteenth century : an analysis of the weather records of certain Hudson's Bay Company forts
Creators: name: Minns, Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The post journals of certain Hudson's Bay Company forts were examined for evidence that air mass frequencies during the first half of the nineteenth century were markedly different from those of a modern (1955-1959) period. The "partial collective" technique of Bryson was used to determine the modern frequencies and to provide the basis of the conditional probability structure employed to estimate the historic air mass frequencies. There is evidence from each station for which analysis was performed of a greatly increased presence of "Arctic" air, probably as a consequence of a weakened zonal atmospheric circulation and a decrease in the eastward penetration of "Pacific" air.

description: We construct the Lax connection of the Green-Schwarz superstring in AdS_5 x S^5 within the Hamiltonian formalism and obtain precisely that used in 0810.4136. It differs in a crucial way from the Bena-Polchinski-Roiban connection by terms proportional to the Hamiltonian constraints. These extra terms ensure firstly that the integrals of motion are all first class and secondly that the Lax connection is flat in the strong sense.

description: Suzaku observations of a TeV unidentified (unID) source, HESS J1745-303, are presented. A possible excess of neutral iron line emission is discovered, and is likely associated with the main part of HESS J1745-303, named "region A". It may be an X-ray reflection nebula where the X-rays from previous Galactic Center (GC) activity are reflected by a molecular cloud. This result further strengthens the assumption that the molecular cloud which is spatially coincident with region A of HESS J1745-303 is located in the GC region. The TeV emission from molecular clouds is reminiscent of the diffuse TeV gamma-rays from the GC giant molecular clouds, and it could have the same emission mechanism. With deep exposure mapping observations by Suzaku, a tight upper-limit on the 2-10 keV continuum diffuse emission from region A is obtained, as 2.1x10^-13ergs s^-1cm^-2. The flux ratio between 1-10 TeV and 2-10 keV is larger than 4. Possible scenarios to reproduce wide-band spectra from keV to TeV are examined. Thermal X-rays from nearby two old supernova remnants, G359.0-0.9 and G359.1-0.5, are detected, and their emission properties are well determined in the present study with deep exposure.

High-energy cosmic ray anisotropies
Creators: name: Hyland, G B
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The cosmic-ray group at the University of Tasmania has operated a number of muon telescopes at the Poatina underground cosmic ray station (latitude 41.8¬¨‚àûS, 357 hg cm-2 below the top of the atmosphere) since 1972. The most recently constructed telescopes comprise four trays of 2 metre long proportional counters arranged to give a total effective collecting area of approximately 4 m2. The muon threshold energy for vertical incidence at the depth of the station is 100 GeV corresponding to a median primary energy of 1.2 TeV. In 1983 the recording system of one telescope was upgraded to register the arrival direction of incident particles. This system utilizes the telescope configuration which provides an angular resolution for vertically incident particles of approximately 50 x 50‚Äö For the current project, the same recording system was further upgraded with the construction of a high-precision temperature controlled clock which provides the arrival time of incident particles to the nearest millisecond. Data collected over the period August 1987 to January 1989 have been used to search for possible narrow-angle anisotropies in the declination band 20¬¨‚àûN to 90¬¨‚àûS. No significant deviation from an isotropic distribution of arrival directions has been found. In particular, the observations fail to confirm the existence of a previously reported narrow-angle excess of particles observed at the same station; providing further evidence of the apparent limited duration of such anisotropies. An upper limit on the particle flux from possible point sources has been calculated as 6.1 x 10-9 cm-20 at the 95% confidence level. In addition, the particle arrival time data has been used to search for a time modulated underground muon flux from the direction of the Vela pulsar. The observations reveal no evidence for the existence of any steady periodic emission from the pulsar, but two marginally significant bursts of pulsed emission of duration several hours have been observed. Perhaps more significantly, these episodes of periodic enhancement were observed just before a glitch in the pulsar period; the first burst occurred 20 days before the glitch and the second just 2 hours before the initial frequency jump. If the enhancements are genuine signals, the measured underground muon flux is substantially higher than would be expected based on extrapolations from ground-based gamma-ray observations to the underground observing site using standard high-energy particle interaction models.

description: In aerial surveys conducted during the Tropical Ocean–Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment and the low-wind component of the Coupled Boundary Layer Air-Sea Transfer (CBLAST-Low) oceanographic field programs, sea surface temperature (SST) variability at relatively short spatial scales (O(50 m) to O(1 km)) was observed to increase with decreasing wind speed. A unique set of coincident surface and subsurface oceanic temperature measurements from CBLAST-Low is used to investigate the subsurface expression of this spatially organized SST variability, and the SST variability is linked to internal waves. The data are used to test two previously hypothesized mechanisms for SST signatures of oceanic internal waves: a modulation of the cool-skin effect and a modulation of vertical mixing within the diurnal warm layer. Under conditions of weak winds and strong insolation (which favor formation of a diurnal warm layer), the data reveal a link between the spatially periodic SST fluctuations and subsurface temperature and velocity fluctuations associated with oceanic internal waves, suggesting that some mechanism involving the diurnal warm layer is responsible for the observed signal. Internal-wave signals in skin temperature very closely resemble temperature signals measured at a depth of about 20 cm, indicating that the observed internal-wave SST signal is not a result of modulation of the cool-skin effect. Numerical experiments using a one-dimensional upper ocean model support the notion that internal-wave heaving of the warm-layer base can produce alternating bands of relatively warm and cool SST through the combined effects of surface heating and modulation of wind-driven vertical shear.

description: We show how solutions to many recursive arena equations can be computed in a natural way by allowing loops in arenas. We then equip arenas with winning functions and total winning strategies. We present two natural winning conditions compatible with the loop construction which respectively provide initial algebras and terminal coalgebras for a large class of continuous functors. Finally, we introduce an intuitionistic sequent calculus, extended with syntactic constructions for least and greatest fixed points, and prove it has a sound and (in a certain weak sense) complete interpretation in our game model.
