    Modification of nektonic fish distribution by piers and pile fields in an urban estuary

    No full text
    Large urban piers degrade habitat value for several estuarine benthic fish species by shading, but their effects on mobile nektonic species is less well understood due to sampling challenges. Dual Frequency Identification Sonar (DIDSON) allowed equal access to sampling in the water column of structured shaded and unshaded vs. open environments in both dark and light conditions by methods similar to video but without light. Sampling (n = 228, 5-minute transects) occurred under and around four large municipal piers of varying dimensions in the Hudson River estuary during day and night from summer and fall in 2007 - 2009. The distribution of small (5 - 25 cm in length) and large (25 – 850 cm) fishes were analyzed separately in recognition of functional guild differences. Small fishes occupied open water, shaded under-pier, and un-decked relict piling habitats, but were significantly more abundant during the day in open unshaded water than under adjacent piers or in piling habitats.. Small fish occurred under 3 of 4 piers of varying size and configuration at 10 - 20% of the median abundances of adjacent open water. However, while schools were rare under piers they could be very large, so that abundance greatly exceeded mean open water abundance variance so as to preclude confidence in differences among piers. The differences among habitats was not significant at night, and the difference among piers was also not significant at night. School membership for small fish appeared to mitigate adverse effects of shading and may influence scaling of their response to shading and could therefore influence pier design. Large (>25 cm) predatory fish were uncommon but responded similarly to habitat effects as did small fish. Habitats did not segregate fish by guild as small forage fish co-occurred in 65.8% of samples with large piscivores. Studies that provide species-specific and mechanistic interpretation of dynamic habitat use as well as further quantification of scaling effects could improve our understanding of how fishes respond to piers and other structures on urban shorelines.Peer reviewed

    On Poetic Inhabiting of the World According to Kenneth White

    No full text
    The article constitutes an interpretation of a collection of essays by K. White La carte de Guido. Un pèlerinage europeén (2011), which serves the author to present the method of geopoetics as proposed by the author. The essays in question are also proof of his thesis which puts forth that writing is an „intellectual and existential geography”.Uniwersytet w Białymstoku2415

    Design and implementation of real-time cognitive dynamic spectrum radio, targeting the FM radio band with PHYDYAS FS-FBMC

    No full text
    Demand for wireless connectivity is exponentially increasing. Allocated bands in the Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum are commonly presented as being nearly at capacity but in reality, they are often under-utilised. New shared spectrum regulations, combined with Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) technologies and Software Defined Radio (SRD) allow third parties to access vacant spectrum that has been traditionally licensed to broadcasters and mobile network operators. Regulators and research institutions worldwide are actively exploring the sharing of finite spectral resources, driving a wireless revolution that will bring lower cost and ubiquitous connectivity.;This thesis presents and validates a disruptive new spectrum sharing technique that facilitates access to the significant amount of vacant spectrum in the band traditionally used for analogue FM Radio broadcasting (88-108 MHz), providing a potential communications solution for load balancing and demand side management in smart grid networks. In this work, a novel, real-time DSA-enabled radio transmitter is designed, implemented, and targeted to programmable 'ZynqSDR' hardware, and investigations are carried out to determine whether it is capable of coexisting with incumbent FM Radio stations. The transmitter uses the Frequency Spread Filter Bank Multicarrier (FS-FBMC) modulation scheme - which has low levels of Out-Of-Band (OOB) leakage - and a non-contiguous subchannel mask, which can automatically reconfigure itself in real time to change the spectral characteristics of the output signal. It was developed using low level Digital Signal Processing (DSP) components from within MATLAB and Simulink.;The FBMC Secondary User (SU) radio was shown to cause minimal interference to FM Radio stations when 'transmitting' at low broadcast powers (e.g. 20 dBm) and using a 200 kHz guardband, indicating that an SU such as the one proposed in this thesis would be capable of legally coexisting with (and transmit alongside) incumbent FM Radio signals; provided radio spectrum regulations were modified to permit legal operation.Demand for wireless connectivity is exponentially increasing.
