  • Test of Self-Organization in Beach Cusp Formation Giovanni Coco,1 T
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 108, NO. C3, 3101, doi:10.1029/2002JC001496, 2003 Test of self-organization in beach cusp formation Giovanni Coco,1 T. K. Burnet, and B. T. Werner Complex Systems Laboratory, Cecil and Ida Green Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California, USA Steve Elgar Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, USA Received 4 June 2002; revised 6 November 2002; accepted 13 November 2002; published 29 March 2003. [1] Field observations of swash flow patterns and morphology change are consistent with the hypothesis that beach cusps form by self-organization, wherein positive feedback between swash flow and developing morphology causes initial development of the pattern and negative feedback owing to circulation of flow within beach cusp bays causes pattern stabilization. The self-organization hypothesis is tested using measurements from three experiments on a barrier island beach in North Carolina. Beach cusps developed after the beach was smoothed by a storm and after existing beach cusps were smoothed by a bulldozer. Swash front motions were recorded on video during daylight hours, and morphology was measured by surveying at 3–4 hour intervals. Three signatures of self- organization were observed in all experiments. First, time lags between swash front motions in beach cusp bays and horns increase with increasing relief, representing the effect of morphology on flow. Second, differential erosion between bays and horns initially increases with increasing time lag, representing the effect of flow on morphology change because positive feedback causes growth of beach cusps. Third, after initial growth, differential erosion decreases with increasing time lag, representing the onset of negative feedback that stabilizes beach cusps.

Kaze Department of Plant and Wildlife Science, BYU Masters of Science Population growth for species with long lifespans and low reproductive rates (i.e., K- selected species) is influenced primarily by both survival of adult females and survival of young. Because survival of adults and young is influenced by habitat quality and resource availability, it is important for managers to understand factors that influence habitat selection during the period of reproduction.

  • Predators As Agents of Selection and Diversification
    diversity Review Predators as Agents of Selection and Diversification Jerald B. Johnson * and Mark C. Belk Evolutionary Ecology Laboratories, Department of Biology, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-801-422-4502 Received: 6 October 2020; Accepted: 29 October 2020; Published: 31 October 2020 Abstract: Predation is ubiquitous in nature and can be an important component of both ecological and evolutionary interactions. One of the most striking features of predators is how often they cause evolutionary diversification in natural systems. Here, we review several ways that this can occur, exploring empirical evidence and suggesting promising areas for future work. We also introduce several papers recently accepted in Diversity that demonstrate just how important and varied predation can be as an agent of natural selection. We conclude that there is still much to be done in this field, especially in areas where multiple predator species prey upon common prey, in certain taxonomic groups where we still know very little, and in an overall effort to actually quantify mortality rates and the strength of natural selection in the wild. Keywords: adaptation; mortality rates; natural selection; predation; prey 1. Introduction In the history of life, a key evolutionary innovation was the ability of some organisms to acquire energy and nutrients by killing and consuming other organisms [1–3]. This phenomenon of predation has evolved independently, multiple times across all known major lineages of life, both extinct and extant [1,2,4]. Quite simply, predators are ubiquitous agents of natural selection. Not surprisingly, prey species have evolved a variety of traits to avoid predation, including traits to avoid detection [4–6], to escape from predators [4,7], to withstand harm from attack [4], to deter predators [4,8], and to confuse or deceive predators [4,8].

  • Robust Classification Method for Underwater Targets Using the Chaotic Features of the Flow Field
    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article Robust Classification Method for Underwater Targets Using the Chaotic Features of the Flow Field Xinghua Lin 1, Jianguo Wu 1,* and Qing Qin 2 1 School of Mechanical Engineering, Hebei University of Technology, Tianjin 300401, China; [email protected] 2 China Automotive Technology and Research Center Co., Ltd, Tianjin 300300, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 17 January 2020; Accepted: 10 February 2020; Published: 12 February 2020 Abstract: Fish can sense their surrounding environment by their lateral line system (LLS). In order to understand the extent to which information can be derived via LLS and to improve the adaptive ability of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), a novel strategy is presented, which directly uses the information of the flow field to distinguish the object obstacle. The flow fields around different targets are obtained by the numerical method, and the pressure signal on the virtual lateral line is studied based on the chaos theory and fast Fourier transform (FFT). The compounded parametric features, including the chaotic features (CF) and the power spectrum density (PSD), which is named CF-PSD, are used to recognize the kinds of obstacles. During the research of CF, the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE), saturated correlation dimension (SCD), and Kolmogorov entropy (KE) are taken into account, and PSD features include the number, amplitude, and position of wave crests. A two-step support vector machine (SVM) is built and used to classify the shapes and incidence angles based on the CF-PSD. It is demonstrated that the flow fields around triangular and square targets are chaotic systems, and the new findings indicate that the object obstacle can be recognized directly based on the information of the flow field, and the consideration of a parametric feature extraction method (CF-PSD) results in considerably higher classification success.

  • Meteorology and Climatology in Normal
    METEOROLOGY AND CLIMATOLOGY IN NORMAL SCHOOLS AND COLLEGE An examination of catalogues from 76 Normal Schools and Teach- ers' Colleges in the United States throws some interesting light on the meteorology and climatology offered in these schools. Under such titles as "Climates of the World," "Meteorology," "The Changing Weather," "Climate and Man," "Weather and Climate or Climatology," 35 courses are listed. As catalogues from 36 states were included, this would seem to be a very small average, but considerably more climatology is taught than appears on the surface, for in 150 courses given on continents or countries, climate is a factor usually considered. Moreover in about 50 courses listed by some such title as "Principles of Geography," "Mathematical Geography," "Human Geography," "Agricultural Ge- ography," or "Elements of Geography," etc., climatology and meteor- ology are taught although the catalogues are not very lucid as to the extent. There is little or no indication of climatological material being included in courses listed under methods, but it is probable that it is not entirely omitted, particularly in the few Normal Schools where no purely contest work is given.—J. M. Shipman. A HANDY BOOKLET ABOUT WEATHER The "Weather" manual in the Merit Badge Series issued by the Boy Scouts of America (200 Fifth Avenue, New York City), has recently appeared. It is a pamphlet of 73 pages, with plenty of instructive pic- tures. There are views of all the cloud types of the International Cloud Classification, optical phenomena, lightning, St. Elmo's fire, aurora, meteorological instruments, etc. The first half of the text is devoted to an explanation, in simple language, of a number of weather phenomena.

  • Soundscapes of Air Warfare in Second World War Britain
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery Moaning Minnie and the Doodlebugs: Soundscapes of Air Warfare in Second World War Britain Gabriel Moshenska Familiar sounds were no longer heard; church bells were silenced; they were only to be as a warning of invasion. Whistles, tube type used by the police as well as the rattling pea type, were to warn of gas attack, while hand bells and football ricketys were only to be used as an indicator of some kind of alarm which escapes me now. Works horns, used to indicate starting, lunch breaks, and stopping times, steam operated like those fitted to ships’ funnels, were briefly silenced but were soon brought back into use to maintain production. (Rountree 2004) Introduction: First broadcast in 1968, the BBC television sitcom Dad’s Army depicted the comic antics of the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard, and remains an icon of British comedy. As the theme tune fades in the closing credits of the show an air raid siren sounds the ‘All Clear’, the tone that signaled the end of an air raid or alert period in British towns and cities during the Second World War. For many of those watching Dad’s Army the sound would have been deeply and possibly painfully familiar, triggering memories of wartime: one man, a child during the war, recalled almost sixty years afterwards “How welcome was Minnie's steady 'all clear' note when the raids were over. Whenever that note sounds at the end of an episode of 'Dad's Army' it still brings a lump to my throat and reminds me of those difficult times” (Beckett 2003).

  • Seventh Grade
    Name: _____________________ Maui Ocean Center Learning Worksheet Seventh Grade Our mission is to foster understanding, wonder and respect for Hawai‘i’s Marine Life. Based on benchmarks SC.6.3.1, SC. 7.3.1, SC. 7.3.2, SC. 7.5.4 Maui Ocean Center SEVENTH GRADE 1 Interdependent Relationships Relationships A food web (or chain) shows how each living thing gets its food. Some animals eat plants and some animals eat other animals. For example, a simple food chain links plants, cows (that eat plants), and humans (that eat cows). Each link in this chain is food for the next link. A food chain always starts with plant life and ends with an animal. Plants are called producers (they are also autotrophs) because they are able to use light energy from the sun to produce food (sugar) from carbon dioxide and water. Animals cannot make their own food so they must eat plants and/or other animals. They are called consumers (they are also heterotrophs). There are three groups of consumers. Animals that eat only plants are called herbivores. Animals that eat other animals are called carnivores. Animals and people who eat both animals and plants are called omnivores. Decomposers (bacteria and fungi) feed on decaying matter. These decomposers speed up the decaying process that releases minerals back into the food chain for absorption by plants as nutrients. Do you know why there are more herbivores than carnivores? In a food chain, energy is passed from one link to another. When a herbivore eats, only a fraction of the energy (that it gets from the plant food) becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up (by the herbivore as it moves).

  • Engineering the Quantum Foam
    Engineering the Quantum Foam Reginald T. Cahill School of Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences, Flinders University, GPO Box 2100, Adelaide 5001, Australia [email protected] _____________________________________________________ ABSTRACT In 1990 Alcubierre, within the General Relativity model for space-time, proposed a scenario for ‘warp drive’ faster than light travel, in which objects would achieve such speeds by actually being stationary within a bubble of space which itself was moving through space, the idea being that the speed of the bubble was not itself limited by the speed of light. However that scenario required exotic matter to stabilise the boundary of the bubble. Here that proposal is re-examined within the context of the new modelling of space in which space is a quantum system, viz a quantum foam, with on-going classicalisation. This model has lead to the resolution of a number of longstanding problems, including a dynamical explanation for the so-called `dark matter’ effect. It has also given the first evidence of quantum gravity effects, as experimental data has shown that a new dimensionless constant characterising the self-interaction of space is the fine structure constant. The studies here begin the task of examining to what extent the new spatial self-interaction dynamics can play a role in stabilising the boundary without exotic matter, and whether the boundary stabilisation dynamics can be engineered; this would amount to quantum gravity engineering. 1 Introduction The modelling of space within physics has been an enormously challenging task dating back in the modern era to Galileo, mainly because it has proven very difficult, both conceptually and experimentally, to get a ‘handle’ on the phenomenon of space.
