The dissertation "And the Sea looked : a novel in the making" is an exploration of the creative process of a prose fiction novel called „And the Sea Looked‟. Following the lives of three women, the novel reflects on the idea that universal Peace (the end of all wars) will only be possible if individuals, through the power of their choices in the way they live their ordinary lives, strive to transcend the separations and imperfections of the Material World, ultimately finding a universal...

The pike (Esox lucius) is a major predator and top-down regulator in the Baltic Sea where it exists in two sympatric forms. One spawn in streams and rivers and the other one spawn in the sea. During the last decades, the habitats for both of these forms have developed in a negative way. In some freshwater systems, up to 90 % of the water areas have disappeared, mainly through drainage and straightening of watercourses for agricultural purposes. In the sea, reproduction habitats decrease due to c...

Through an examination of the People's Republic of China's policies on the law of the sea (LOS), this thesis proposes to show the extent to which these policies reflected China's general foreign policy objectives and its specific maritime characteristics. In part I, the determinants of China's LOS policies were examined. From a survey of China's foreign policies from 1949 through 1977, eight objectives were identified as being central to China's foreign relations. Several facets of China's marit...

A study of the proteolytic enzymes of the sea anemone Metridium senile was undertaken in search of the proposed archetype 'serine protease' from which the family of homologous serine proteases of higher animals is believed to have arisen. Activity towards the chymotrypsin specific substrate N-acetyl-L-tyrosine ethyl ester (ATEE) was found to be initially very low in homogenates of gastric filaments of Metridium but during incubation at 0°C an autocatalytic increase in the activity was observed. ...

The main object of this work is to build up as detailed and accurate a picture as possible of the normal behaviour of eider ducklings (Somateria mollissima) under natural conditions. Such a description has been called an ‘ethogram’ (1), and utilises the methods and teaching of contemporary ethologists such as Tinbergen(2), Thorpe (3), and Lorenz (4). Secondly, in pursuit of the primary aim, it is hoped to show the validity of what may be called 'the naturalistic approach'.

When a ship-owner orders a vessel from a shipyard, a contract is written to confirm and guarantee the agreement for both parts. An important requirement of the contract is the vessel's speed at a given engine power, RPM and draught, in "ideal" conditions (i.e. calm, infinitely deep and current free water, with smooth hull and propeller surfaces at with no wind and zero drift and rudder angle). The speed capacity of the recently built ship is measured carrying out a speed trial. It...

Every marine energy source presents advantages and disadvantages. For example, they are not atthe same stage of maturity. Tidal range power is fully mature but the limited number of sitesavailable, combined with the large environmental impacts and investment costs limit itsdevelopment. The idea of artificial lagoons that will be offshore tidal range plant could create a newinterest for this technology. But for the moment, no plant of this type has been constructed yet. Tidalstream power is the n...

Mysid shrimps (Mysidacea, Crustacea) are efficient zooplanktivores in both marine and freshwater systems as well as lipid rich prey for many species of fish.  Although some efforts have been made to study the role of mysids in the Baltic Sea, very few studies have been carried out in recent time and there are still knowledge gaps regarding various aspects of mysid ecology. This thesis aims to explore some of these gaps by covering a mixture of topics. Using multifrequency hydroacoustics we explo...

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / This is an examination of the open ocean deep water formation process of the Greenland sea and how it is effected by the depth dependent thermal expansion coefficient. It is hypothesized that free convection associated with parcel instability is possible because of the increase of the thermal expansion coefficient with pressure in conjunction with requisite ambient temperature and salinity profiles. Based on the depth dependence of the t...

It is now understood that deep convection in the ocean plays a dominant role in determining the climate of the world's oceans. Recent theoretical advances in explaining oceanic convection need to be tested by real observations. Satellite observations of deep convection regions may be a promising new tool in studying this phenomenon. This thesis examines deep convection events in two ways: To assess the characteristic elements of a deep convection event using two different prediction models based...

The objective of this thesis is to analyze naval developments in the countries abutting the Baltic Sea. Major international security events have radically altered the political landscape surrounding the region. Fundamental changes to the regional security environment are affecting naval building and modernization plans. This region should be of primary concern to the United States political and naval leadership because it comprises one of the world's largest concentrations of naval combatants. T...

A six transceiver ocean acoustic tomography array was deployed to monitor ocean ventilation and circulation over the 1988-89 winter cooling season. A stochastic inverse method computer code which attains a solution by minimizing mean square error is used to perform inversions of the Greenland Sea tomography data. A computer simulated ocean is used to evaluate various aspects of system performance. We first consider the advantages and problems associated with using a ray theory based algorithm. N...

A new methodology is being devised for ensemble ocean forecasting using distributions of the surface wind field derived from a Bayesian Hierarchical Model (BHM). The ocean members are forced with samples from the posterior distribution of the wind during the assimilation of satellite and in-situ ocean data. The initial condition perturbations are then consistent with the best available knowledge of the ocean state at the beginning of the forecast and amplify the ocean response to uncertaint...

The water of the oceans (11) contains about 3.5% by weight of dissolved inorganic salts in addition to organic substances and any suspended matter which may be present. The quantities and identities or these ions have been the subject of much investigation and are now generally accepted. The dissolved salts have a profound effect on many of the physical properties of sea water. Surprisingly, although the total weight of dissolved salts is not always the same, it has been found that the relative ...

<p> <i>From Syrian Sea to Shining Sea</i> is a collection of poetry that reflects the lives of Arab-Americans. Whether they may be first generation, Muslim, or immigrants, there is a piece within their self that reflects a longing for the homeland, ties to the motherland, and struggles that arose as a result of the Syrian Civil War. As a first-generation, Arab-American, Muslim woman I wrote these poems through the raw lens that is my experience. </p><p>
