CytoBuoy: a step forward towards using flow cytometry in operational oceanography

An Enhanced Flux Treatment in Solving Incompressible Flow in a Forward-Facing Step

The aim of this paper is to give a detailed effect of several parameters such as step height, Reynolds number, contraction ratio, and temperature difference between the entrance and solid boundaries, of a forward-facing step. An accurate length of separation and reattachment zones are achieved. A finite-volume method (FVM) has been developed to study incompressible flow in a forward-facing step...

Operational Oceanography using the ‘new’ SeaSoar ocean undulator

SeaSoar is a towed undulating vehicle capable of achieving undulations from surface to 500 metres at speeds of around 8 knots. To achieve this the SeaSoar is towed from a standard Rochester cable fitted with a set length of fairing. It has a significant enclosed payload area, relying on external wings to provide the efficient hydrodynamic lift and dive forces. The SeaSoar wing angle is set by a...

Towards High Throughput Selection of Binding Ligands: Using Flow Cytometry

Phage display libraries represent a relatively easy way to generate binding ligands against a vast number of different targets. Although in principle, phage display selection should be amenable to automation, this has not yet been described and present selection protocols are far from high throughput. We have examined the selection process in a systematic approach and attempted to automate each...

Satellite earth observation in operational oceanography

The role and contribution of satellite data in operational oceanography is reviewed, with emphasis on northern European seas. The possibility to observe various ocean parameters and processes by existing satellite sensors, such as optical instruments, infrared radiometers, passive Ž . microwave radiometers, and active microwave systems altimeter, scatterometer, SAR is discussed. The basic param...
