The Loop Current (LC) system dynamics are an essential component of the processes influencing circulation and transport in Gulf Mexico (GoM). LC evolution is influenced by various factors, including rich eddy field region flow exchange through Yucatan Strait with neighboring Caribbean Sea. These factors contribute to complexity and, as a result, limitations predictability system. focus this stu...

This contribution documents, using the example of the Gulf of Mexico large marine ecosystem (GoM) LME, how mass-balance, trophic (‘Ecopath’) models can be synthesized into a single integrated, spatially explicit model, from which various inferences on the ecological functioning of, and fisheries impacts on an LME can be drawn. The 10 component models used here covered inshore subsystems (lagoon...

Approximately two thirds of migratory songbirds in eastern North America negotiate the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), where inclement weather coupled with no refueling or resting opportunities can be lethal. However, decisions made when navigating such features and their consequences remain largely unknown due to technological limitations of tracking small animals over large areas. We used automated rad...

The most common monogenic cause of small-vessel disease leading to ischemic stroke and vascular dementia is the neurodegenerative syndrome cerebral autosomal-dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), which is associated with mutations in the Notch 3 receptor. CADASIL pathology is characterized by vascular smooth muscle cell degeneration and accumulation ...

We used a 12-yr data set of benthic cover (2005–2017), spanning two bleaching events, to assess changes in and coral community composition along 21 islands within Gulf Mannar (GoM), southeast India. Overall, between 2005 2017 reefs had simultaneous decrease relative (avg. = − 36%) increase algal + 45%). Changes were not consistent among islands, ranging from 34 5% for 0.3 50% algae. There was s...

Abstract We estimate ocean heat content (OHC) change in the upper 2000 m Gulf of Mexico (GOM) from 1950 to 2020 improve understanding regional warming. Our estimates are based on 192 890 temperature profiles World Ocean Database. Warming occurs at all depths and most regions except for a small region northeastern GOM between 200 600 m. OHC increases rate 0.38 ± 0.13 ZJ decade −1 1970 2020, whic...

This paper introduces and investigates a new family of distributions called the Topp-Leone-Gompertz-exponentiated half logistic-G (TL-Gom-EHL-G) distribution. Some mathematical statistical properties this are derived. To estimate evaluate model parameters, maximum likelihood estimation technique is used, consistency estimators examined using Monte Carlo simulation. Applications to three real da...

The Government of Malawi (GoM) initiated activities to deliver treatment of common childhood illnesses (suspected pneumonia, fever/suspected malaria, and diarrhea) in the community in 2008. The service providers are Health Surveillance Assistants (HSAs), and they are posted nationwide to serve communities at a ratio of 1 to 1,000 population. The GoM targeted the establishment of 3,452 village h...

The relationship between educational theories, game design and game development are used to develop models for the creation of complex learning environments. The Game Object Model (GOM), that marries educational theory and game design, forms the basis for the development of the Persona Outlining Model (POM) and the Game Achievement Model (GAM). POM provides researchers with a means to more easi...

We recovered 12 archival geolocators deployed on Eastern Kingbirds (Tyrannus tyrannus) breeding in New York (NY; n = 3, 2 with years of data), Nebraska (NE; 6, 1 and Oregon (OR; 3) to describe migratory routes, timing rates migration, nonbreeding season distributions, connectedness. NY fall migrants migrated along the Atlantic coast Florida, flew either nonstop across Gulf Mexico (GoM; 3 birds)...
