Les formulations et modèles de vagues stochastiques sont les outils les plus traditionnels pour l’évaluation et la prévision des états de mer. Cependant, la prise en compte de nombreux processus physiques essentiels à l’évolution des vagues reste souvent lacunaire dans ces types d’approches. Une des raisons possible est notamment que peu d’observations viennent documenter ces processus. La dissipation des ondes est ainsi mal quantifiée par les méthodes d'observation traditionnelles dans tout l’é...

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2012. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Nearly all South African abalone farms function on an intensive pump-ashore, flow-through system. Large volumes of sea water that are pumped ashore flow through abalone or kelp harvesting tanks and finally gravitate back to the ocean. If the effluent from an abalone farm can be desalinated without permanent membrane fouling, then sea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) technology can be integrated effectively with established abalone ...

This thesis aims at quantitatively characterizing the recent (last few decades) and future climate variability of marine climate in the Western Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. Namely it focuses on sea level and wind-waves, as these are the variables with a larger potential impact on coastal ecosystems and infrastructures. We first use buoy and altimetry data to calibrate a 50-year wind-wave hindcast over the Western Mediterranean in order to obtain the best characterization of th...

Increasing demand for fresh water in arid and semi-arid areas, similar to the Middle East, pushed for the use of seawater desalination techniques to augment freshwater. Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) is one of the techniques that have been commonly used due to its cost effectiveness. Recently, the use of Ultrafiltration (UF) was recommended as an effective pretreatment for SWRO membranes, as opposed to conventional methods (i.e. sand filtration). During UF operation, intermittent cleaning...

Convective snow bands develop commonly over the open water surface of lakes or seas when cold airgets advected from a continent. Enhanced heat and moisture fluxes from the comparatively warm waterbody trigger shallow convection and an unstable boundary layer builds up. Relatively strong wind canorganize this convection into wind-parallel quasi-stationary cloud bands with moving individual cells.Depending on various factors like the horizontal wind, the vertical shear or the shape of the coast, t...

Several coralligenous reefs occur in the soft bottoms of the northern Adriatic continental shelf. Mediterranean coralligenous habitats are characterised by high species diversity and are intrinsically valuable for their biological diversity and for the ecological processes they support. The conservation and management of these habitats require quantifying spatial and temporal variability of their benthic assemblages. This PhD thesis aims to give a relevant contribution to the knowledge of the st...

This thesis is inspired by the experience of living in two places that both have distinctive cultures. Architecture being a form of culture motivated me to enter the school of architecture. After 6 years of study, this paper attempts to answer my initial concerns on architecture and culture. For me it is very important to understand what the relationship between architecture and culture and how they influence each other. How does one present culture and tradition in the design of architecture? H...

Biological invasions are a major threat to biodiversity world wide with annual economic costs up to 1.4 trillion dollars. The round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is a particularly fierce invader that threatens ecological function of the Baltic Sea. Individual variation in behavioral traits that remain constant through time and context have been identified as crucial factors for explaining different parts of the invasion process. For example, asocial behavior facilitates dispersal from high densi...

Broad-scale population genetics can reveal population structure across an organism’s entire range, which can enable us to determine the most efficient population-wide management strategy depending on levels of connectivity. Genetic variation and differences in genetic diversity on small-scales have been reported in anemones, but nothing is known about their broad-scale population structure, including that of “host” anemone species, which are increasingly being targeted in the aquarium trade.

Tesi realitzada al Centre d'Estudis Avançats de Blanes (CEAB-CSIC) / Many nearshore temperate coastal ecosystems are strongly regulated by top-down control. This is particularly true of shallow macrophyte communities, where habitat structuring is heavily dependent on the ability of predators to control populations of herbivorous sea urchins. Released from predation pressure, urchins can quickly transform macroalgal ecosystems to unproductive barrens. While temperate seagrasses are less dramati...

Recent field observations suggest that the radiative forcing of aerosol and clouds in the Arctic may be seasonally regulated by the oceanic emissions of the climatically-important biogenic trace gas dimethylsulfide (DMS). However, the validity of the proposed argument is challenged by the limited spatio-temporal coverage of these earlier studies in this difficult-to-access region. In particular, little is known about the pan-Arctic distribution of the oceanic DMS emissions, its temporal variabil...

Bioelectricity refers to differential membrane voltage and cytoplasmic ion concentrations in tissues or cells which persist over long periods of time. Differences in these steady-state ionic conditions are responsible for large-scale axial patterning and morphogenesis in developing embryos. The sea urchin embryo is an excellent model organism for studying embryonic development, yet a comprehensive study of bioelectricity in sea urchin development has not been reported. Differential ion channel a...

Multi-tissue pattern formation during development is a complex process in which extracellular communication events specify distinct cell types and regulate exquisite embryonic morphogenesis. The sea urchin embryo provides an excellent model for studying pattern formation due to relative genetic and morphological simplicity. The larval skeleton is secreted via biomineralization by the skeletogenic primary mesenchyme cells (PMCs). The PMCs undergo an epithelial-mesenchymal transition and migrate a...

The object of this thesis is to contribute to the appreciation of five selected Anglo-Saxon poems - The Wanderer, The Seafarer, Exodus, Andreas, and Beowulf - by analysing their metaphoric use of the sea. Metaphor is an essential and distinctive element of all poetry and, to be genuine, to be alive, and to be ever-interesting, a poem must achieve itself through metaphor. A poem's unique mode of vision is metaphoric, and whatever it communicates we perceive in and through metaphor. This is an axi...

abstract: Microzooplankton, mainly heterotrophic unicellular eukaryotes (protists), play an important role in the cycling of nutrients and carbon in the sunlit (euphotic) zone of the world’s oceans.

In this study, I investigate the seasonal and interannual dynamics of the heterotrophic protists, particularly the nanoflagellate, dinoflagellate, and ciliate communities, a...
