Morphodynamic Resilience of Intertidal Mudflats on a Seasonal Time Scale

Carbon and nitrogen cycling on intertidal mudflats of a temperate Australian estuary. I. Benthic metabolism

The light and dark inundated fluxes of O2 and total CO2 (TCO2), as well as the concentrations of chlorophyll a and phaeopigments, were measured (ex situ) on the upper and lower portions of 2 intertidal mudflats—1 in the upper Huon Estuary (salinity 4 to 32) and 1 in a marine side-arm of the estuary (salinity 17 to 34)—over 4 seasons. Dark-exposed fluxes of O2 and CO2 were also measured on the u...

Scale-selective Validation of Morphodynamic Models

Although it is generally acknowledged that the practical predictability at smaller scales may be limited, output of high-resolution morphodynamic area models is mostly presented at the resolution of the computational grid. The sopresented fields typically are realistic looking, but not necessarily of similar quality at all spatial scales. Unfortunately, commonly used single-number validation me...

A new species of Strongylacron (Copepoda, Harpacticoida, Cletodidae) from intertidal mudflats in the Korean peninsula

A new species, Strongylacron glabrum sp. n. is described from intertidal mudflats in the Korean peninsula. The new species is assigned to the monospecific genus Strongylacron Gee & Huys, 1996 in accordance with the generic morphological features of the rostrum, antennary exopod, and thoracic legs. However, Strongylacron glabrum sp. n. is clearly distinguished from the type species, Strongylacro...

A NEW APPROACH BASED ON OPTIMIZATION OF RATIO FOR SEASONAL FUZZY TIME SERIES

In recent years, many studies have been done on forecasting fuzzy time series. First-order fuzzy time series forecasting methods with first-order lagged variables and high-order fuzzy time series forecasting methods with consecutive lagged variables constitute the considerable part of these studies. However, these methods are not effective in forecasting fuzzy time series which contain seasonal...
