— Highly modified habitats resulting from coastal development could facilitate the re-establishment of biological communities. At the Singapore Armed Forces Yacht Club in Changi, Singapore, the diversity and distribution of scleractinian corals were investigated using belt surveys at two different depths (1–3.5 m and 3.5–6 m) of a seawall. The 1,762 scleractinian colonies recorded are represent...

Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina) are the most abundant and widespread seal species in Washington State. Most seal haul-out sites are unavailable at high tide, hence abundance estimates are conducted at low tide when it is commonly accepted that most seals are hauled-out. On sites unaffected by tides, however, it is less clear whether tide level has an effect on seal abundance. We counted hauled-ou...

In this paper, the authors present a systematic and comprehensive analysis of scenario methods in the integrated planning of nautical port and marina sites. The subject of research is nautical ports and marinas as facilities having the greatest importance for nautical tourism development and for boaters. The optimum scenario for their development is determined, and marina carrying capacity is i...

The article discusses a set of pictures that illustrate public health activities, practices, and campaigns against malaria in Brazil from 1918 through 1956. Exemplary of certain key moments in this history, the illustrations belong to three archives from the Casa de Oswaldo Cruz/Fundação Oswaldo Cruz collection: Arquivo Belisário Penna, Arquivto Fundação Rockefeller ("Serviço de Malária do Nord...

An interactive museum exhibit of a digitally augmented medieval musical instrument, the tromba marina, is presented. The tromba marina is a curious single stringed instrument with a rattling bridge, from which a trumpet-like timbre is produced. The physical instrument was constructed as a replica of one found in Musikmuseet, a musical instrument museum in Copenhagen, Denmark. The replica instru...
