    SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN FRONTIERS PROGRAM #1503 "Going Deep" AIRDATE: February 2, 2005 ALAN ALDA Hello and welcome to Scientific American Frontiers. I'm Alan Alda. It's said that the oceans, which cover more than two thirds of the earth's surface, are less familiar to us than the surface of the moon. If you consider the volume of the oceans, it's actually more than ninety percent of the habitable part of the earth that we don't know too much about. The main reason for our relative ignorance is simply that the deep ocean is an absolutely forbidding environment. It's pitch dark, extremely cold and with pressures that are like having a 3,000-foot column of lead pressing down on every square inch -- which does sound pretty uncomfortable. In this program we're going to see how people finally made it to the ocean floor, and we'll find out about the scientific revolutions they brought back with them. We're going to go diving in the Alvin, the little submarine that did so much of the work. And we're going to glimpse the future, as Alvin's successor takes shape in a small seaside town on Cape Cod. That's coming up in tonight's episode, Going Deep. INTO THE DEEP ALAN ALDA (NARRATION) Woods Hole, Massachusetts. It's one of the picturesque seaside towns that draw the tourists to Cape Cod each year. But few seaside towns have what Woods Hole has. For 70 years it's been home to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution — an organization that does nothing but study the world's oceans.

  • In Situ Tagging and Tracking of Coral Reef Fishes from the Aquarius Undersea Laboratory
    TECHNICAL NOTE In Situ Tagging and Tracking of Coral Reef Fishes from the Aquarius Undersea Laboratory AUTHORS ABSTRACT James Lindholm We surgically implanted coded-acoustic transmitters in a total of 46 coral reef fish Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary; during a saturation mission to the Aquarius Undersea Laboratory in August 2002.

Over the course of 10 Sarah Fangman days, with daily bottom times of 7 hrs, saturation diving operations allowed us to col- Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary lect, surgically tag, release, and subsequently track fishes entirely in situ. Fish were collected using baited traps deployed adjacent to the reef as well as nets manipulated Les Kaufman on the bottom by divers. Surgical implantation of acoustic transmitters was conducted Boston University Marine Program at a mobile surgical station that was moved to different sites across the reef. Each fish Steven Miller was revived from anesthetic and released as divers swam the fish about the reef.

  • Hardware Configuration with Dynamically-Queried Formal Models
    Master’s Thesis Nr. 180 Systems Group, Department of Computer Science, ETH Zurich Hardware Configuration With Dynamically-Queried Formal Models by Daniel Schwyn Supervised by Reto Acherman Dr. David Cock Prof. Dr. Timothy Roscoe April 2017 – October 2017 Abstract Hardware is getting increasingly complex and heterogeneous. With different compo- nents having different views of the system, the traditional assumption of unique phys- ical addresses has become an illusion. To adapt to such hardware, an operating system (OS) needs to understand the complex address translation chains and be able to handle the presence of multiple address spaces. This thesis takes a recently proposed model that formally captures these aspects and applies it to hardware configuration in the Barrelfish OS. To this end, I present Sockeye, a domain specific language that uses the model to de- scribe hardware. I then show, that code relying on knowledge about the address spaces in a system can be statically generated from these specifications. Furthermore, the model is successfully applied to device management, showing that it can also be used to configure hardware at runtime. The implementation presented here does not rely on any platform specific code and it reduced the amount of such code in Barrelfish’s device manager by over 30%. Applying the model to further hardware configuration tasks is expected to have similar effects. i Acknowledgements First of all, I want to thank my advisers Timothy Roscoe, David Cock and Reto Acher- mann for their guidance and support. Their feedback and critical questions were a valuable contribution to this thesis. I’d also like to thank the rest of the Barrelfish team and other members of the Systems Group at ETH for the interesting discussions during meetings and coffee breaks.

However, most direct observations and samplings of seep sites have been concentrated above water depths of approximately 3000 ft (1000 m) because of the scarcity of deep diving manned submersibles. In the summer of 2006, Minerals Management Service (MMS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admini- stration (NOAA) supported 24 days of DSV Alvin dives on the deep continental slope. Site selection for these dives was accomplished through surface reflectivity analysis of the MMS slope-wide 3D seismic database followed by a photo reconnaissance cruise. From 80 potential sites, 20 were studied by photo reconnaissance from which 10 sites were selected for Alvin dives.

  • Message Passing for Programming Languages and Operating Systems
    Master’s Thesis Nr. 141 Systems Group, Department of Computer Science, ETH Zurich Message Passing for Programming Languages and Operating Systems by Martynas Pumputis Supervised by Prof. Dr. Timothy Roscoe, Dr. Antonios Kornilios Kourtis, Dr. David Cock October 7, 2015 Abstract Message passing as a mean of communication has been gaining popu- larity within domains of concurrent programming languages and oper- ating systems. In this thesis, we discuss how message passing languages can be ap- plied in the context of operating systems which are heavily based on this form of communication. In particular, we port the Go program- ming language to the Barrelfish OS and integrate the Go communi- cation channels with the messaging infrastructure of Barrelfish. We show that the outcome of the porting and the integration allows us to implement OS services that can take advantage of the easy-to-use concurrency model of Go. Our evaluation based on LevelDB benchmarks shows comparable per- formance to the Linux port. Meanwhile, the overhead of the messag- ing integration causes the poor performance when compared to the native messaging of Barrelfish, but exposes an easier to use interface, as shown by the example code. i Acknowledgments First of all, I would like to thank Timothy Roscoe, Antonios Kornilios Kourtis and David Cock for giving the opportunity to work on the Barrelfish OS project, their supervision, inspirational thoughts and critique. Next, I would like to thank the Barrelfish team for the discussions and the help. In addition, I would like to thank Sebastian Wicki for the conversations we had during the entire period of my Master’s studies.

  • The Project Investigators Will Comply with the Data Management And
    Data Management Plan Data Policy Compliance: The project investigators will comply with the data management and dissemination policies described in the NSF Award and Administration Guide (AAG, Chapter VI.D.4) and the NSF Division of Ocean Sciences Sample and Data Policy. Pre-Cruise Planning: Pre-cruise planning will occur through email and teleconFerences. The cruises will utilize a deep submergence vehicle (DSV Alvin, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution). Preliminary dive plans will be written prior to the cruise, and updated and amended prior to each dive based on cruise events. Cruise event logging: Detailed dive reports For each Alvin dive will be digitally compiled as MicrosoFt Word documents during the cruise. Each dive report will include site inFormation, times oF launch and recovery, sampling events, and watch-stander logs. These, along with each dive plan, participant inFormation, and samples logs will be compiled into a cruise report at the conclusion oF the cruise and shared among the cruise party. Description of Data Types This project will produce observational datasets through the ship's underway sensors, DSV Alvin sensors and cameras, deployed autonomous chemistry sensors, and derived From analysis oF collected biological specimens. Observational data will be collected on research cruise at the East PaciFic Rise planned to take place during Jan-April oF two diFFerent years. Cruise underway data: Standard underway data collected along the ship’s track (e.g., sea surFace temperature, salinity, etc.). File types: .csv ASCII Files; Repository: BCO-DMO and the Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R). Alvin data: Routine sensor data (e.g., temperature), video, and images collected by the DSV Alvin, as well as dive event logs, are made available through WHOI dives FrameGrabber system at http://4dgeo.whoi.edu/alvin and archived at the National Deep Submergence Facility (NDSF) at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
