Automated Search for the Quantitative Laws Affecting CO2 Fugacity in Sea Water

چکیده
To describe and explain the world, scientists search for equations that quantify relations among relevant variables. We wanted to assist these efforts by a computer program inspired by genetic programing. Using realworld data, the program discovered equations that outperformed, in terms of accuracy, published expressions. Moreover, the research indicated that somewhat different formulas may be needed in different geographical regions. The latter observation appears to be due to “hidden” parameters that were not included in the available data.

Site assessment for industrial mass cultivation of microalgae: case studies from Persian Gulf and Oman Sea coastal areas
Providing enough microalgae biomass is required for various applications in sectors such as food, medicine and energy. The biomass resources such as land, water, nutrient and carbon dioxide are essential in cultivation feasibility study for biomass production as well as cost benefits. The aims of this research is therefore, site assessment and prioritization of potential site locations, carbon ...
متن کاملCollapse of the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic CO2 sink in boreal spring of 2010
Following the 2009 Pacific El Niño, a warm event developed in the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic during boreal spring of 2010 promoted a significant increase in the CO2 fugacity of surface waters. This, together with the relaxation of the prevailing wind fields, resulted in the reversal of the atmospheric CO2 absorption capacity of the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic. In the re...

Introduction: It is recommended that the physician apply at least a semi-quantitative segmental scoring system in myocardial perfusion SPECT. We aimed to assess the agreement between automated semi-quantitative analysis using QPS (quantitative Perfusion SPECT) software and visual approach for calculation of summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS) and summed difference score (SDS). ...
