Scientific parameterization and its validation: comparing the universal models of fisheries economics with the invalid modeling of stock assessment
(2008-09-22)
Here I compare the valid parameterization of fisheries economics with the data-fitted parameters of a stock
assessment’s modeling, invalid models whose predictions cannot be falsified (which is another way of saying ...
A low-level circulation in the tropics
(American Meteorological Society, 2008)
Deep convective tropical systems are strongly convergent in the midtroposphere. Horizontal wind measurements from a variety of rawinsonde arrays in the equatorial Pacific and Caribbean are used to calculate the mean dynamical ...
A trio of new Local Group galaxies with extreme properties
(2008-12)
We report on the discovery of three new dwarf galaxies in the Local Group. These galaxies are found in new CFHT/MegaPrime g,i imaging of the south-western quadrant of M31, extending our extant survey area to include the ...
Asymmetric oxidation of 2-(arylsulfenyl)pyrroles
(2008-07)
The asymmetric oxidation of prochiral 2-(arylsulfenyl)pyrroles has been investigated. A marked
electronic effect within the substrate significantly influenced the degree of enantioselectivity
obtained, with very high enantio ...

Aerobic hydrogen production and dinitrogen fixation in the marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium erythraeum IMS101
(2008-11)
Rates of hydrogen production and acetylene reduction were measured in aerobic cultures of the marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium erythraeum IMS101 grown in a supplemented seawater medium low in combined inorganic nitrogen. ...
Dark channels in resonant tunneling transport through artificial atoms
(American Institute of Physics, 2008)
We investigate sequential tunneling through a multilevel quantum dot confining multiple electrons in the regime where several channels are available for transport within the bias window. By analyzing solutions to the master ...
Development of a wearable global positioning system for place and health research
(2008-11)
Background: An increasing number of studies suggest that characteristics of context, or the attributes of the places within which we live, work and socialize, are associated with variations in health-related behaviours and ...
Weighing the Black Holes in z~2 Submillimeter-Emitting Galaxies Hosting Active Galactic Nuclei
(2008-05-01)
We place direct observational constraints on the black-hole masses of the cosmologically important z~2 submillimeter-emitting galaxy (SMG; f850>4mJy) population, and use measured host-galaxy masses to explore their ...
Interferometric CO Observations of submillimeter-faint, radio-selected starburst galaxies at z~2
(2008-12-20)
High-redshift, dust-obscured galaxies -- selected to be luminous in the radio but relatively faint at 850um -- appear to represent a different population from the ultra-luminous submillimeter- (submm-) bright population. ...
