    Impacts of phytoplankton activity on dissolved nitrogen fluxes in the tidal reaches and estuary of the Tweed (North East UK)

    No full text
    Monthly surveys were conducted from April to August 1997 to quantify the uptake of dissolved nitrogen species (nitrate, ammonium and urea) and oxygen production in the tidal reaches and estuary of the Tweed. 15N isotope labelling was used in conjunction with in situ incubation methods to determine the uptake of dissolved nitrogen in surface water samples. Respiration, gross and net oxygen production were measured simultaneously. Phytoplankton activity in the Tweed resulted in low rates of dissolved nitrogen uptake (<0.4 nmol N l?1 h?1) and caused small changes in the dissolved oxygen concentration. Uptake of nitrate and urea was associated with phytoplankton biomass and was highest during periods of net autotrophic production (May, June and August). Reductions in the total downstream fluxes of dissolved nitrogen due to phytoplankton activity were appreciable despite the low rates of uptake of dissolved nitrogen and were found to be strongly dependent on the flushing time of the estuar

    Seismic data reveal eastern Black Sea Basin structure

    No full text
    Rifted continental margins are formed by progressive extension of the lithosphere. The development of these margins plays an integral role in the plate tectonic cycle, and an understanding of the extensional process underpins much hydrocarbon exploration. A key issue is whether the lithosphere extends uniformly, or whether extension varies\ud with depth. Crustal extension may be determined using seismic techniques. Lithospheric extension may be inferred from the waterloaded subsidence history, determined from\ud the pattern of sedimentation during and after rifting. Unfortunately, however, many rifted margins are sediment-starved, so the subsidence history is poorly known.\ud To test whether extension varies between the crust and the mantle, a major seismic experiment was conducted in February–March 2005 in the eastern Black Sea Basin (Figure 1), a deep basin where the subsidence history is recorded\ud by a thick, post-rift sedimentary sequence. The seismic data from the experiment indicate the presence of a thick, low-velocity zone, possibly representing overpressured sediments. They also indicate that the basement and\ud Moho in the center of the basin are both several kilometers shallower than previously inferred. These initial observations may have considerable impact on thermal models of the petroleum system in the basin. Understanding\ud the thermal history of potential source rocks is key to reducing hydrocarbon exploration risk. The experiment, which involved collaboration between university groups in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Turkey, and BP and\ud Turkish Petroleum (TPAO), formed part of a larger project that also is using deep seismic reflection and other geophysical data held by the industry partners to determine the subsidence history and hence the strain evolution of\ud the basin

    Skeleton-based design and simulation flow for Computation-in-Memory architectures

    No full text
    Memristor-based Computation-in-Memory is one of the emerging architectures proposed to deal with Big Data problems. The design of such architectures requires a radically new automatic design flow because the memristor is a passive device that uses resistance to encode its logic value. This paper proposes a design flow for mapping parallel algorithms on the CIM architecture. Algorithms with similar data flow graphs can be mapped on the crossbar using the same template containing scheduling, placement, and routing information; this template is named skeleton. By configuring such a skeleton with different pre-designed circuits, we can build CIM implementations of the corresponding algorithms in that class. This approach does not only map an algorithm on a memristor crossbar, but also gives an estimation of its performance, area, and energy consumption. It also supports user-defined constraints and parallel SystemC simulation. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and the potential of the approach.Accepted Author ManuscriptComputer EngineeringQuantum & Computer EngineeringFTQC/Bertels La
