Delaunay refinement is a widely used method for the construction of guaranteed quality triangular and tetrahedral meshes. We present an algorithm and a software for the parallel constrained Delaunay mesh generation in two dimensions. Our approach is based on the decomposition of the original mesh generation problem into N smaller subproblems which are meshed in parallel. The parallel algorithm ...

The approach is to incorporate latest developments in turbulence and tidal research and modeling into ROMS. This project complements well, the AESOP program, the ONR DRI on subgrid-scale parameterization and skill assessment of numerical ocean models as well as the new Characterization and Modeling of Archipelago Strait Dynamics (CMASD) DRI. Using the Adriatic Sea (and North Indian Ocean) ROMS/...

Answers to referee #2 comments received and published on 10 April 2008, on the manuscript: "Comparison of OMI ozone and UV irradiance data with ground-based measurements at two French sites." General comments : This well-written paper presents a comparison between OMI (TOMS-like and DOASlike) estimated total ozone content (TOC) and the value retrieved from two Jobin Yvon spectroradiometers at t...

The long-term technical goal is to design, to develop and to test the next generation primitive equation, Terrain-following Ocean Modeling System (TOMS) for high-resolution scientific and operational applications. This project will improve the ocean modeling capabilities of the U.S. Navy for relocatable, coastal, coupled atmosphere-ocean forecasting applications. It will also benefit the ocean ...

Artificial insemination is practiced extensively with commercial turkeys. This is primarily the result of selective breeding for a heavier and broader-breasted commercial turkey and the consequent inability of toms to consistently transfer semen to the hen at copulation. The broiler industry has not adapted AI to the extent of the turkey industry but it is occasionally used in pedigree lines an...
