Long-term morphological model of Poole Harbour
No full textThe study focuses on the impact of human interventions on the natural behaviour of estuaries in response to sea-level rise. In particular it focuses on the affect of managed realignment on the critical sea level rise (SLRcrit) for the Poole Harbour. Numerical model ASMITA (Aggregated Scale Morphological Interaction between a Tidal inlet and the Adjacent coast, Stive and Wang, 1996) is used to study the response of the system to the external forcing (both natural and anthropogenic). ASMITA model schematises the tidal-inlet system and characterises each model element by a single variable volume. Volumetric data of the Poole harbour inlet elements obtained through the digitisation of the historical admiralty charts was used to calibrate the model. The model assumes that the each inlet elements tends towards an equilibrium volume which can be defined using the empirical equations. These equilibrium equations consist of equilibrium parameters that depend on the regional properties like hydrodynamics and topography of the Poole harbour. Once the model is calibrated, simulations were performed with various sea level rise scenarios (historic and future SLR) to observe the natural behaviour of the Poole harbour. Managed realignment is being introduced in the model and a range of values of critical sea-level rise was obtained and compared with the predicted sea-level rise rate given in the literature for the next century. Results suggest that the “hold the line” management scenario (current situation) would not result in the complete loss of inter-tidal flats and the coastal flooding is unlikely to occur over the next century, as a result of critical sea-level rise values exceeds the predicted rate. However research suggests, introducing realignment (coastline retreat management scenario) reduces SLRcrit values for the estuary; thus making the estuary more sensitive to the predicted future SLR rates.CoMEMHydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience

Voltammetry - Linear sweep and cyclic
No full textLinear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) are the most widely used voltammetric techniques for studying redox reactions of both organic and inorganic compounds because they are unmatched in their ability to provide information on the steps involved in electrochemical processes with only a modest expenditure of time and effort in the acquisition and interpretation of data. These electroanalytical methods require simple and inexpensive instrumentation and provide not only information on the electrochemical quantities typical of a redox process, but also allow investigations of chemical reactions coupled with charge transfer steps. This is because the electrode can be used as a tool for producing reactive species in a small solution layer surrounding its surface and at the same time to monitor chemical reactions involving these species. Moreover, since the relevant responses can be obtained within a few milliseconds after stimulation of the electrode, they may be used for studying mechanisms involving very fast reactions, thus allowing detection of short�lived transient intermediates.
LSV and CV techniques were proposed at the beginning of the 1950s and in those years some theoretical approaches able to rationalize the simplest responses were worked out. However, the use of these electroanalytical methods has received considerable impetus only more recently thanks to increased knowledge of more subtle criteria for interpreting the relevant responses and to greater availability of theoretical tools for processing experimental data.
This article will briefly survey the analytical performance of these techniques, as well as the criteria followed to gain information regarding participants in electrochemical processes from the recorded responses

A policymaker confronts uncertainty
No full textThis article is a reprint of a speech given by William Poole, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, to the St. Louis Gateway Chapter of the National Association for Business Economics. In today's environment economic uncertainties abound both abroad and at home. In this article the author discusses the five categories of uncertainty facing today's policymakers: 1) the data; 2) future events, shocks and disturbances; 3) how the economy works; 4) market reactions to Fed policy; and 5) market anticipations of Fed policy. Poole also discusses the Federal Reserve's role in dealing with each of these uncertainties and today's policy environment.Monetary policy - United States
Developing a partnership of indigenous peoples, conservationists, and land use planners in Latin America
No full textIllustrating from a rich body of case material, Poole's report reflects a shift away from the traditional view - represented by certain national parks and similar protected areas - that indigenous peoples be allowed to occupy and use an area's resources following rules set by conservationists. Under the new paradigm that is developing, indigenous peoples are seen as an integral part of protected area planning through agreements worked out in partnership with conservation authorities. An example of this new approach is the role that indigenous peoples are playing in the design of biosphere reserves. Poole suggests that the Bank and other development organizations pay more attention to vernacular economies - economies based on local resources, used either for subsistence or as a source of revenue. He also recommends more research into economics and resource implications of these local activities to harvest wild resources, especially in environmentally delicate areas such as tropical rainforests.Environmental Management,Tourism and Ecotourism,Water Conservation,Natural Resources Management,Wetlands
Effect of EBI2 on B cell Migration
No full textMy mentored research project was a terrific experience. I have been mentored with Dr. Brian Poole for the last three years. As a result of the project that was made possible by the ORCA grant, I was the first author on an abstract submitted and accepted by the International Immunology Summit. This last October I attended the International Immunology Summit in Las Vegas, Nevada. Dr. Poole and I presented our research and I responded to questions from the audience. I am currently an author on a manuscript that in progress that has been submitted for review. I have enjoyed my work on this project and I am grateful for the generous donations that made it possible
