Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interim report describes the development and testing of the R-TEAM system from the initial concept studies to the actual deployment and recovery of a working prototype at Site D, 39°N, 70°W (June 2 to August 3. 1987). The R-TEAM mooring is specifically designed to collect oceanic environmental data in the Arctic region and to transmit these data to shore on a daily basis via ARGOS satellite telemetry. To this end an ascent module comes to the surface once a day and transmits directly to ARGOS (ice free surface) or indirectly through a relatively adjacent MF receiver station (ice covered surface) which in turn relays the data to the ARGOS satellite. When not transmitting, the module remains in its rest position most of the time, well away from the surface. thus diminishing the risks of damage at the ice interface. The design life of the R-TEAM system is one year in situ. The mooring must be capable of deployment in depths of up to 4500 meters and must be able to withstand a maximum current speed of 2 knots at the surface.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is a general, but comprehensive, description and analysis of industrial organization in the field of marine electronic instrumentation (MEl), a broadly defined "industry," which until now has received little systematic, scholarly attention. The report reviews the current literature on international trade and competitiveness, as well as trade and scientific journals relevant to the industry. The resul ts of a series of interviews with representatives of the industry and responsible government agencies are presented and industry and government data on R & D and output have been collected and analyzed together with other indicators of industrial performance. On the basis of these sources, the structure of the industry and its markets is characterized and the importance of marine electronic instrumenation in international high technology trade is established. Over 350 firms in the U.S. industry are identified, which annually earn total estimated gross revenues of approximately $5 billion. These firms fall into three largely distinct industry groups: (1) defense systems contractors; (2) commercial marine electronics; and (3) scientific instrumentation. The first group is by far the largest in sales volume and is oligopolistic in structure, consisting of a few large rivals for infrequent and complex defense systems contracts. The other groups are more purely competitive. Four major customer groups are distinguished: (1) military; (2) commercial and recreational shipping and boating; (3) offshore oil and gas; and (4) oceanographic/environmental. Most of the firms in the industry face international competititon. The importance of marine electronic instrumentation to technological advance and economic activity in the world's oceans is strongly apparent. Parameters affecting the international competitiveness of firms in this industry, including those relating to industry structure and behavior and governmental practices and institutions such as sponsored research, procurement, intellectual property rights, tax allowances, antitrust enforcement, small business encouragements, export controls, import restrictions, exchange rates, and technology transfer are summarized. A number of issues relating to international competititon, economic analysis, and government policy that are fruitful areas for further research also are identified.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this research was to understand what factors determine whether a diatom cell can exit the mitotic cell cycle to undergo gametogenesis and subsequent auxospore formation. Using flow cytometry, I found that the centric diatom, Thalassiosira weissflogii, could be induced to undergo spermatogenesis by exposing cells maintained in continuous light to either dim light or darkness. The use of populations representing distinct cell cycle distributions indicated that cells in early G1 could be triggered to form male gametes. Whereas cells further along in their cell cycle were unresponsive to these same cues. The size distributions of numerous isolates maintained under identical conditions were examined over time to determine the relation between cell size and the ability to undergo sexual reproduction. Each isolate underwent periodic increases and decreases in mean cell size as expected for populations alternating between asexual and sexual reproduction. However, the timing of the onset of sexual reproduction, the rate of increase in mean cell size, and the size of the post-auxospores created during a sexual event varied among isolates and within a given isolate over time. This variable behavior was hypothesized to occur because the genetic composition of diatom populations varies over time. Keywords: Medicine.
