We study the tidal evolution of a binary system consisting of a 1.4M compact object in elliptic orbit about a 10M uniformly rotating main sequence (MS) star for various values of the initial orbital parameters. We apply our previously published results of 2D non-adiabatic calculations of the nonradial gand r-mode oscillations of the uniformly rotating MS star, and include the effects of resonan...

PURPOSE Differences in tidal breathing patterns have been reported between patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and healthy individuals using traditional measurement techniques. This feasibility study examined whether structured light plethysmography (SLP) - a noncontact, light-based technique - could also detect differences in tidal breathing patterns between patients wit...

A two-dimensional west coast tidal model, built on the ADCIRC platform (an unstructured grid two-dimensional depth-integrated shallow water model), has been developed to examine the scope for reliable and fully predictable electricity generation from UK coastal waters using an ambitious combination of estuary barrages, tidal lagoons and tidal stream generator arrays. The main emphasis has been ...

Spatially and temporally continuous temperature measurements were collected over 32 h using a fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) system deployed along 330 m of two intertidal saltmarsh channel beds in northern California. Measured temperature gradients imparted ecosystem-scale structure to the saltmarsh tidal channel thermal regime, which was punctuated by potential warm and cold...

Tidal wetlands including intertidal flats are highly productive and have dynamic and diverse ecosystems. Despite the importance of the tidal flats and associated coastal habitats, theses areas are at risk due to high development pressure, such as reclamation and marine pollution. Because of their poor accessibility, remote sensing techniques are the most effective tool for tidal flat observatio...

In this paper the efficiency of the method of Least Squares Harmonic Estimation (LS-HE) for detecting the main tidal frequencies is investigated. Using this method, the tidal spectrum of the sea level data is evaluated at two tidal stations: Bandar Abbas in south of Iran and Workington on the eastern coast of the UK. The amplitudes of the tidal constituents at these two tidal stations are not t...
