Tides of the Ross Sea and Ross Ice Shelf cavity

Two new ocean tide models for the Ross Sea including the ocean cavity under the Ross Ice Shelf, are described. The optimum model for predicting ice shelf surface height variability is based on assimilation of gravimetry-derived tidal constituents from the Ross Ice Shelf. Synthetic aperture radar interferograms provide an independent test of model performance. The standard deviation of tide heig...

Unnatural Selection of Antarctic Toothfish in the Ross Sea, Antarctica

Historically, fishermen targeted fish in shallow, nearshore waters relatively close to port (Pauly et al. 2005). As these species became depleted, to meet growing demands, fishermen were forced to move offshore and into deeper waters (Hutchings and Reynolds 2004; Koslow et al. 2000; Morato et al. 2006; Hilborn et al. 2003; Pauly et al. 2002, 2005). Steady advances in fishing technology facilita...

The Ross Institute

The Ross operation.

Both congenital and acquired aortic valve defects represent an important group of diseases in pediatric patients. Since the defects –in form of stenosis, insufficiency or mixedmay finally cause a loss of ventricular function and mean a big load for the heart muscle, an interventional or surgical therapy is required. Although there are various alternatives of treatment, none of these is really s...

The Ross Procedure

Background—Reports on outcome after the Ross procedure are limited by small study size and show variable durability results. A systematic review of evidence on outcome after the Ross procedure may improve insight into outcome and potential determinants. Methods and Results—A systematic review of reports published from January 2000 to January 2008 on outcome after the Ross procedure was undertak...
