The widening gyre: reflections on September 11.

Gyre generation after a typhoon-induced upwelling in a stratified lake

Since its discovery by Soda 1924, the largest gyre in Lake Biwa, known as the “first gyre”, has been the topic of many studies over the years to clarify the processes that create the basin-scale cyclonic current system during the stratified period. Several study results of the ecosystem of Lake Biwa highlight the correlation between the biology of the lake and the first gyre. For instance Ishik...

The American Cultural Identity: Philosophical Reflections on the Existing Controversies over its Nature

Model Simulations of the Bay of Fundy Gyre: 1. Climatological Results.

The characteristics of a persistent gyre in the mouth of the Bay of Fundy are studied using model simulations. A set of climatological runs are conducted to evaluate the relative importance of the different forcing mechanisms affecting the gyre. The main mechanisms are tidal rectification, and density-driven circulation. Stronger circulation of the gyre occurs during the later part of the strat...

Benthic community responses to pulses in pelagic food supply: North Pacific Subtropical Gyre

Time-series measurements of particulate organic carbon (POC) and particulate nitrogen (PN) fluxes, sediment community composition, and sediment community oxygen consumption (SCOC) were made at the Hawaii Ocean Time-series station (Sta. ALOHA, 4730m depth) between December 1997 and January 1999. POC and PN fluxes, estimated from sediment trap collections made at 4000m depth (730m above bottom), ...

Reflections on the Ontology of Mass Art as Avant-garde Art

The aesthetics of “everyday experience” is made by a paradigm that defines the duality of the Elite art/low-class art by focusing on the art of the majority/minority, based on the desire of the urban middle class, It has been put as the art of the people in opposition to the art of avant-garde. The study is based on reflections on possibility of finding the main origin between the art of the ma...
