Tool for Identification of Duplicate Records Downloaded from Multiple Cd-Roms. A Case Study with Spirs Based Databases

As research becomes more and more interdisciplinary, literature search from CD-ROM databases is often carried out on more than one CD-ROM database. This results in retrieving duplicate records due to same literature being covered (indexed) in more than one database. The retrieval software does not identify such duplicate records. Three different programs have been written to accomplish the task of identifying the duplicate records. These programs are executed from a shell script to minimize manual intervention. The various fields that have been used (extracted) to identify the duplicate records include the article title, year, volume number, issue number and pagination. The shell script when executed prompts for input file that may contain duplicate records. The programs identify the duplicate records and write them to a new file.

Data assimilation using ensemble transform Kalman filter (ETKF) in ROMS model for Indian Ocean

Study of Oceans dynamics and forecast is crucial as it influences the regional climate and other marine activities. Forecasting oceanographic states like sea surface currents, Sea surface temperature (SST) and mixed layer depth at different time scales is extremely important for these activities. These forecasts are generated by various ocean general circulation models (OGCM). One such model is the Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS). Though ROMS can simulate several features of ocean, it cannot reproduce the thermocline of the ocean properly. Solution to this problem is to incorporates data assimilation (DA) in the model. DA system using Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (ETKF) has been developed for ROMS model to improve the accuracy of the model forecast. To assimilate data temperature and salinity from ARGO data has been used as observation. Assimilated temperature and salinity without localization shows oscillations compared to the model run without assimilation for India Ocean. Same was also found for u and v-velocity fields. With localization we found that the state variables are diverging within the localization scale.

Will it work? an initial examination of the processes and outcomes of converting course materials to CD-ROMs

The Faculty of Business and Law at Deakin University (Victoria, Australia) decided to dispense of all printed post-graduate learning materials and replace them with CD-ROMs from the commencement of the 2006 academic year. In addition, CD-ROMs were developed for a limited
number of undergraduate units as part of a future delivery plan for this cohort of students. The following paper describes this project, the reasons underpinning it, and the processes the Faculty adopted to implement the project. The project is ongoing and part of a broader agenda for change
that will see an even greater application of electronic technology to teaching and learning within the Faculty. Although only initial findings and observations are possible at this stage, the project provides a basis for longitudinal reporting and, potentially, a guide for other institutions who may
be considering such a move. The paper reports on these observations and on those in the educational development arena and suggests that the Faculty will need to learn from these initial experiences and evaluate the project in greater depth to guarantee a smooth transition for all stakeholders.

Biophysical 3D modeling approach of the Canary Current System: a ROMS-PISCES coupling study

Modelización tridimensional del Ecosistema de la Corriente de Canarias: un estudio de acoplamiento ROMS-PISCES

[ES]Las denominadas Corrientes de Frontera Este comprenden ecosistemas complejos debido a la presencia de procesos a mesoscala y submesoscala que aumentan la variabilidad del sistema. Los modelos de acoplamiento físico-biológico son herramientas bastante interesantes para ayudar a entender dicha variabilidad. Aunque se han desarrollado modelos para los sistemas de afloramiento de las Corrientes de California y de Humboldt, el Ecosistema de la Corriente de Canarias sigue sin ser ampliamente estudiado bajo este enfoque. En este trabajo mostramos los primeros resultados de un modelo acoplado ROMS (Sistema de Modelización de Oceanografía Regional)-PISCES (Esquema de Interacción Pelágica para Estudios de Carbono y de Ecosistemas) para el Ecosistema de la Corriente de Canarias. PISCES simula la productividad oceánica y la variabilidad espacio-temporal de los ciclos de carbono y de nutrientes (P, N, Si, Fe). Como un primer paso, hemos usado la distribución de clorofila como proxy para determinar el funcionamiento del modelo. Se ha observado que los patrones de la distribución de clorofila concuerdan bastante bien con las observaciones realizadas por imágenes de satélite, aunque también se observa que el modelo subestima los valores de las concentraciones. También se compara la distribución de clorofila en la columna de agua con datos reales observándose una buena relación con la clorofila modelada. Además, se incluyen directrices a seguir para mejorar el modelo.
