A new species of pseudamine cardinalfish, Pseudamiops springeri, is described from five specimens collected in the Red Sea. It may be distinguished from the four known species of Pseudamiops in having 13 pectoralfin rays, pseudobranch with 2-4 filaments, no canine teeth on the vomer, anterior nostril with a conspicuous skin flap and genital opening flanked by two slender papillae. Pseudamiops s...

This paper describes the deployment of a fully polarimetric K-band radiometer in the Rough Evaporation Duct (RED) experiment, which was conducted during August and September of 2001. The calibration of the four Stokes parameters is described, along with a comparison of the measurements with results of both the Klein-Swift and Ellison et al. sea surface dielectric models. The purpose of the expe...

Since the release of its home console, "Wii," Nintendo had fought mostly successfully off competition in gaming market by using a blue ocean strategy. The strategy is idea to create new space with no or minimal through differentiation, low cost, and innovation. It not compete against but demand make irrelevant instead. Nintendo's first step pursuing was get out Red Ocean, where there none befor...

The relative contributions of the spring-neap tides, river discharge and vertical behavior to the dispersal of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) larvae in Delaware Bay is investigated with a coupled circulation-individual-based larvae model. The coupled model simulates larval growth and behavior along particle trajectories using temperature and salinity conditions obtained from an implemen...

The Delaware Estuary has a history of high anthropogenic nutrient loadings but has been classified as a highnutrient, low-growth system due to persistent light limitation caused by turbidity. While the biogeochemical implications of light limitation in turbid estuaries have been well-studied, there has been minimal effort focused on the connectivity between hydrodynamics, sediment dynamics, and...

− Besides empirical algorithms with the blue-green ratio, the algorithms based on fluorescence are also important and valid methods for retrieving chlorophyll-a concentration in the ocean waters, especially for Case II waters and the sea with algal blooming. This study reviews the history of initial cognitions, investigations and detailed approaches towards chlorophyll fluorescence, and then in...

Customer satisfaction has long been recognized as one of the critical success factor in today’s competitive business environment as it affects companies’ market share and customer retention (Ooi et al. 2011). O'Sullivan and Mc Callig (2012) also find that customer satisfaction positively and significantly moderates the earnings-firmvalue relationship as customer satisfaction is key operational ...
