[1] A high-resolution hybrid data assimilative (DA) modeling system is used to study barotropic tides and tidal dynamics on the southeast New England shelf. In situ observations include tidal harmonics of 5 major tidal constituents [M2, S2, N2, O1, and K1] analyzed from coastal sea level and bottom pressure gauges. The DA system consists of both forward and inverse models. The former is the thr...

A tidal bore may occur in a macro-tidal estuary when the tidal range exceeds 4.5–6 m and the estuary bathymetry amplifies the tidal wave. Its upstream propagation induces a strong mixing of the estuarine waters. The propagation of undular tidal bores was investigated herein to study the effect of bridge piers on the bore propagation and characteristics. Both the tidal bore profile and the turbu...

This paper presents an application of a hydrodynamic model to simulate tidal energy extraction in a tidal dominated estuary in the Pacific Northwest coast. A series of numerical experiments were carried out to simulate tidal energy extraction with different turbine array configurations, including location, spacing and array size. Preliminary model results suggest that array optimization for tid...

Journal of Coastal Research, 24(5), 1229–1239. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Gold Coast Seaway and Jumpinpin Bar are two tidal inlets that connect the Pacific Ocean to the extensive Gold C...

RATIONALE Reducing tidal volume decreases mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, the effect of the timing of low tidal volume ventilation is not well understood. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association of intensive care unit (ICU) mortality with initial tidal volume and with tidal volume change over time. METHODS Multivariable, time-varying Cox regression analysis ...

Residual renal function (RRF) is a key element for good maintenance of patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD). Several reports have been published comparing RRF preservation between continuous ambulatory PD and automated PD (APD); however, no comparisons have yet been made between tidal and non tidal APD. We therefore retrospectively analyzed RRF in patients on tidal (n = 10) and non tidal (n = 1...

Els últims anys han vist un fort increment en l'ús de tècniques procedents les humanitats digitals dins la investigació històrica. El resultat ha estat augment exponencial el volum d'evidència disponible, però no anat acompanyat d'un desenvolupament paral·lel dels mètodes d'anàlisi disciplina per integrar noves eines digitals. D'entre aquestes eines, destaquen els sistemes d'informació geogràfi...

In this paper a parametric study was undertaken to quantify the sensitivity Abstract to a wide range of coastal detention pond systems dealing with tidal influence to store surface flood water so as to produce general guidance on the importance of the catchment and pond variables. In this process a specified pond design return period was selected for which the system was to be designed. The pon...
