Field, Lab and Modelling Study of Microscale Copepod Distributions
نویسنده
چکیده
The objectives of the research are to understand how copepod ingestion and swimming behavior change over short (<2 hour) time scales, under a suite of different food and acclimation conditions. New techniques to determine the gut content of individual copepods are being developed to relate individual behavior to individual feeding success. Models will be used to test hypotheses of copepod foraging strategies in patchy environments. The models will be parameterized with laboratory data, and forced with data gathered from the LUMIS and FishTV deployments (Jaffe and Franks, parent grant).

Modeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
متن کاملOntogenetic vertical distribution patterns in small copepods: field observations and model predictions
We investigated fine-scale (5m, 4h) speciesand stage-specific (N1 to C6) distributions of common copepods at an anchor station in a Swedish fjord during two 24 h periods in October 1997. Generally, both calanoid and cyclopoid nauplii were found near the surface, while copepodids stayed deeper in the water column. No diurnal migration was observed. To analyze the observed distributions, we combi...
متن کاملMicroscale Laser Shock Processing (LSP) of Metal Thin Films
Microscale Laser Shock Processing (LSP) is a technique that may be potentially used to manipulate the residual stress distributions in metal film structures and thus improve the reliability performances of micro-devices. In this study, microscale LSP of copper thin films on single crystal silicon substrates is investigated. Curvature measurements verify that substantial average compressive resi...
متن کاملTurbulence in a microscale planar confined impinging-jets reactor.
Confined impinging-jets reactors (CIJR) offer many advantages for rapid chemical processing at the microscale in applications such as precipitation and the production of organic nanoparticles. It has been demonstrated that computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a promising tool for "experiment-free" design and scale-up of such reactors. However, validation of the CFD model used for the microscal...
متن کاملThe three-dimensional flow field generated by a feeding calanoid copepod measured using digital holography.
Digital in-line holography is used for measuring the three-dimensional (3-D) trajectory of a free-swimming freshwater copepod Diaptomus minutus, and simultaneously the instantaneous 3-D velocity field around this copepod. The optical setup consists of a collimated He-Ne laser illuminating a sample volume seeded with particles and containing several feeding copepods. A time series of holograms i...
