I.C. Engine Fundamental (I)
No full textThis text has been compiled for those trainees taking part in the six months Marine Engineering Course at SEAFDEC/TD, to be used in conjunction with the lectures and practical training on the subject of the Internal Combustion Engines for Fishing Boats. The text deals with fundamentals of the prime mover in the form of heat engines, specifically the internal combustion engine, and has been based on the technical senior-high school level requirements in Japan. Further applications, including small automobile engines, rotary and diesel engines etc. Will be explained in the next edition of this text series (I.C. Engine Fundamentals (II)) by the same author

The provenancing of flint artefacts using palynological techniques
No full textThe provenancing of flint artefacts has proved problematic in the past. Acid maceration to extract age-diagnostic organic-walled microplankton from sedimentary materials is a technique routinely employed in both industrial hydrocarbon exploration and Quaternary studies. Here we assess the application of this technique to provenance determination of flint nodules from three locations (two in southern England and one in the Inner Hebrides, Scotland), each of which has abundant local evidence of flint utilization for artefact manufacture in prehistory. We show that, whilst not all flint nodules yield abundant or well preserved organic-walled microfossils assemblages, there is a significant potential for the use of this technique, which deserves further investigation
Evaluating the consistency and discrepancies among biomass datasets in the Cornwall region through a comparative analysis of their methodologies and performance
No full textBiomass data is essential for environmental monitoring and management, but inconsistencies and uncertainties among these datasets hinder accurate estimates. This study comprehensively compares GEDI, ESA CCI, and ICESat-2 biomass datasets for Cornwall, an analysis not previously been conducted, evaluating spatial distribution, statistical properties, uncertainty, and saturation.
GEDI offers high-resolution, precise biomass estimates suitable for ecological studies, despite its coarser resolution compared to the other datasets. ESA CCI provides global coverage and integrates various data sources for climate change mitigation, but early signal saturation is an issue. ICESat-2 combines field measurements with satellite data, offering detailed temporal insights, but uncertainty is higher in Cornwall's complex landscape.
This analysis revealed significant biomass estimate variations due to sensor differences, methodologies, and processing techniques. GEDI and ICESat-2 captured broader biomass ranges compared to ESA CCI's predominantly lower values. Methodological transparency varies, although GEDI’s enhanced clarity is evident through precision categorisation. Lidar-based GEDI outperformed optical and radar methods such as those by ESA CCI, which saturated earlier. Resampling impacts are evident in altered statistical properties, with higher R-squared values indicating stronger large-scale relationships but reduced detail at coarser resolutions.
The importance of this research and its results lies in its potential to enhance the accuracy of biomass estimation and improved ecological research, land use planning, carbon accounting and climate change mitigation efforts. By examining the differences and complementarities between these datasets, this study supports more informed decision making in selecting appropriate data sources. Furthermore, the insights gained from this analysis can inform efforts in biomass mapping not only in Cornwall but also in other regions with similar ecological characteristics. To ensure biomass mapping produces comparable, reliable, and consistent results, user-friendly product documentation employing consistent terminology is strongly recommended
Phylogenetic assessment of heterotrophic bacteria from a water distribution system using 16S rDNA sequencing
No full textDetermination of a heterotrophic plate count (HPC) for drinking-water samples alone is not enough to assess possible health hazards associated with sudden changes in the bacterial count. Speciation is very crucial to determine whether the population includes pathogens and (or) opportunistic pathogens. Most of the isolates recovered from drinking water samples could not be allocated to a specific phylogenetic branch based on the use of conventional diagnostic methods. The present study had to use phylogenetic analysis, which was simplified by determining and using the first 500-bp sequence of the 16S rDNA, to successfully identify the type and species of bacteria found in the samples. Gram-positive bacteria α-, β-, and γ-Proteobacteria were found to be the major groups representing the heterotrophic bacteria in drinking water. The study also revealed that the presence of sphingomonads in drinking water supplies may be much more common than has been reported so far and thus further studies are merited. The intermittent mode of supply, mainly characterized by water stagnation and flow interruption associated possibly with biofilm detachment, raised the possibility that the studied bacterial populations in such systems represented organisms coming from 2 different niches, the biofilm and the water column. © 2005 NRC Canada.Abraham WR, 1999, INT J SYST BACTERIOL, V49, P1053; AMY PS, 1992, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V58, P3367; Assanta MA, 1998, J FOOD PROTECT, V61, P1321; BEJ AK, 1991, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V57, P2429; BOTTGER EC, 1989, FEMS MICROBIOL LETT, V65, P171, DOI 10.1016-0378-1097(89)90386-8; Boye K, 1999, MICROBIOL RES, V154, P23; BRAUNHOWLAND EB, 1993, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V59, P3219; BURKE V, 1984, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V48, P367; CARSON LA, 1978, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V36, P839; Chang CT, 2002, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V68, P3159, DOI 10.1128-AEM.68.6.3159-3161.2002; CLARK J, 1977, CAN J MICROBIOL, V26, P827; Covert TC, 1999, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V65, P2492; Dewettinck T, 2001, APPL MICROBIOL BIOT, V57, P412, DOI 10.1007-s002530100797; Domingo JWS, 2003, WATER SCI TECHNOL, V47, P149; Fernandez M, 1997, PEDIATR INFECT DIS J, V16, P1007, DOI 10.1097-00006454-199710000-00023; Francis CA, 2001, WATER RES, V35, P3758, DOI 10.1016-S0043-1354(01)00073-2; Furuhata K, 1993, Nihon Koshu Eisei Zasshi, V40, P1047; GELDREICH EE, 1985, J AM WATER WORKS ASS, V77, P72; GILARDI GL, 1984, J CLIN MICROBIOL, V20, P626; HIRAISHI A, 1995, APPL ENVIRON MICROB, V61, P2099; HOLMBERG SD, 1986, ANN INTERN MED, V105, P683; HOLMES B, 1994, J CLIN MICROBIOL, V32, P1970; Holt J.
