[1] Ocean flow moves sea water through the Earth’s magnetic field, inducing electric fields, currents and secondary magnetic fields. These motionally induced magnetic fields have a potential for the remote sensing of ocean flow variability. A first goal must be to gain a better understanding of magnetic field generation by tidal ocean flow. We predict the motionally induced magnetic fields for ...

Early prediction of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) may facilitate tailored management for neonates at risk. We investigated whether easily accessible flow data from a mechanical ventilator can predict BPD in neonates born extremely premature (EP). In a prospective population-based study of EP-born neonates, flow data were obtained from the ventilator during the first 48 h of life. Data were l...

The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the measurement accuracy of two currently available devices for measuring tidal breathing in infants. A mechanical model pump was used to generate flow profiles which simulated those observed in infants. A range of flows was applied simultaneously to two different devices, namely the commercially available SensorMedics 2600 (SM 2600) and more recent...

MIRFENDERESK, H. and TOMLINSON, R., 2008. Living with sea-level rise and climate change: observation and analysis of hydrodynamic parameters in tidal inlets in a predominantly semidiurnal regime. 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...

[1] Tidal signals are observed in numerous time-series measurements obtained from mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems. In some instances these tidal signals are clearly the result of ocean currents, but in other instances it appears that the signals may originate in the subseafloor formation. In order to explore the effect of ocean tidal loading on mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal systems, we appl...

A brief review of the literature is provided on the characteristics of marine currents and the approaches used for simulating tidal turbines. The feasibility of using CFD models to simulate time-dependent turbulent flow around a tidal turbine is then explored. Two different approaches for specifying the structure of the turbulent inflow conditions in CFD models are compared: the von Kármán spec...

Sandy sediments of tidal beaches are poor in reactive substances because they are regularly flushed by significant flow caused by tidal forcing. This transport process may significantly affect the flux of reactive solutes to the ocean. A two dimensional model coupling the Richards equation that describes the flow in permeable sediments and the conservation equation of the silicic acid was devel...

The Louisiana coast is among the most productive coastal areas in the US and home to the largest coastal wetland area in the nation. However, Louisiana coastal wetlands have been disappearing at an alarming rate due to natural and anthropogenic processes, including sea level rise, land subsidence and infrastructure development. Wetland loss occurs mainly along the tidal zone, which varies in wi...
