چکیده
An incremental method is presented to generate automatically boundary-®tted Delaunay triangulations of the global ocean. The method takes into account Earth curvature and allows local mesh re®nement in order to resolve topological or dynamical features like midocean ridges or western boundary currents. Crucial issues like the nodes insertion process, the boundary integrity problem or the creation of inner nodes are explained. Finally, the quality of generated triangulations is discussed.

Results Three hundred and eight women were randomised, 284 (92%) completed a pain scale before and immediately after the procedure. After the procedure, 84 women (30%) recorded a pain score of $6, 38 (26%) received anaesthetic and 46 (33%) an inert gel. The difference in the proportion of women recording a pain score of 6 or above between the two study groups was not signi®cant (relative risk (...

During the course of developing new numerical algorithms for a terrain-following ocean modeling system (TOMS), different numerical aspects have been evaluated through a comparison between two widely used community ocean models, the Princeton ocean model (POM) and the regional ocean modeling system (ROMS). While both models aim at modeling coastal to basin-scale problems using similar grids, the...

We consider a single-species model which is composed of several patches connected by linear migration rates and having logistic growth with a threshold. We show the existence of an aggregating mechanism that allows the survival of a species which is in danger of extinction due to its low population density. Numerical experiments illustrate these results. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights ...

A new generic approach to improve computational efficiency of certain processes in numerical environmental models is formulated. This approach is based on the application of neural network (NN) techniques. It can be used to accelerate the calculations and improve the accuracy of the parameterizations of several types of physical processes which generally require computations involving complex m...

We developed an index of biotic integrity (IBI) based on cray®sh, ®sh, and amphibian assemblages to assess vernal ponds and palustrine wetland habitats of less than 5 ha along the southern shore of Lake Michigan. We found that the modi®ed IBI based on three cray®sh, twelve ®sh, and seven amphibian species collected during our surveys provided a more complete assessment than one based on any sin...
