This testimony is the result – better, the tale – of some sea and ocean descents made by a novelist to gather information for writing two of his books. The first one is The meadow under the sea published by Mondadori, 1974, and thereafter in various other editions, in Italian and other languages. The second is The Blue Whale , Mondadori, 1988, which went through several Italian editions.
The present piece concerns impressions and events of contacts with the marine and oceanic floor in the Mediterranean sea, along Atlantic beaches and the Indian Ocean, off Tromelin, Madagascar.
The last voyage takes the novelist to a peculiar situation, where water's darkness overturns the image, comes through the bathysphere port-hole and the observer looks inside himself, a view that corresponds to a mythical history of the ocean floor. 相似文献

Matrix-valued radially symmetric covariance functions (also called radial basis functions in the numerical analysis literature) are crucial for the analysis, inference and prediction of Gaussian vector-valued random fields. This paper provides different methodologies for the construction of matrix-valued mappings that are positive definite and compactly supported over the sphere of a d-dimensional space, of a given radius. In particular, we offer a representation based on scaled mixtures of Askey functions; we also suggest a method of construction based on B-splines. Finally, we show that the very appealing convolution arguments are indeed effective when working in one dimension, prohibitive in two and feasible, but substantially useless, when working in three dimensions. We exhibit the statistical performance of the proposed models through simulation study and then discuss the computational gains that come from our constructions when the parameters are estimated via maximum likelihood. We finally apply our constructions to a North American Pacific Northwest temperatures dataset. 相似文献

The orbits of Titan and Hyperion represent an interesting case of orbital resonance of order one (ratio of periods 3/4), which can be studied within a reasonable accuracy by means of the planar restricted three-body problem. The behaviour of this resonance has been investigated by numerical integrations, of which we show the results in terms of the Poincaré mapping in the plane of the coordinates = [(2L – 2G)] cos (

– t)and = –,[(2L – 2G)] sin (

–t)keeping a constant value of the Jacobi integral throughout all integrations. We find the numerical invariant curves corresponding to low and high eccentricity resonance locking (which seem stable, at least during the limited time span of our experiments) and show that the observed libration of Hyperion's pericenter about the conjunction lies inside the stable high eccentricity region. If initial conditions are chosen outside the stable zones, we have no more stable librations, but a chaotic behaviour causing successive close approaches to Titan.We discuss these results both from the point of view of the mathematical theory of invariant curves, and with the aim of understanding the origin of the resonance locking in this case. The tidal evolution theory cannot be rigorously tested by such experiments (because of the dissipative terms which change the Jacobi constant); however, we note that the time scale of chaotic evolution is by many orders of magnitude smaller than the tidal dissipation time scale, so that the chaotic regions of the phase space cannot be crossed by a slow and smooth evolution. Therefore, our results seem to favour the hypothesis that Hyperion was formed via accumulation of the planetesimals originally inside a stable island of libration, while Titan was depleting by collisions or ejections the zones where the bodies could not escape the chaotic behaviour.Paper presented at the European Workshop on Planetary Sciences, organised by the Laboratorio di Astrofisica Spaziale di Frascati, and held between April 23–27, 1979, at the Accademia Nazionale del Lincei in Rome, Italy. 相似文献

The use of taxonomic distinctness indices in assessing patterns of biodiversity in modular organisms 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Estimating diversity of modular organisms may be problematic due to actual difficulties in discriminating between 'individuals' and quantifying their abundances. Quantitative data, when available, are collected through methods that could preclude the application of classical diversity indices, making comparisons among studies difficult. Taxonomic distinctness indices, such as the 'Average Taxonomic Distinctness' (Δ+ ) and the 'Variation in Taxonomic Distinctness' (Λ+ ) may represent suitable tools in investigating diversity beyond the simple species number. The potential usefulness of such indices has been explored almost exclusively on unitary organisms, neglecting modular ones. In this study, we employed Δ+ and Λ+ to analyse patterns of diversity of epiphytic hydroid assemblages living on Cystoseira seaweeds at a hierarchy of spatial scales, along 800 km of rocky coast (SE Italy). ANOVA on species richness and Λ+ showed no significant difference in sample diversity at the investigated spatial scales. In contrast, there were significant differences at the scale of 10s of km in Δ+ . Analyses based on simulations detected significant variations at all spatial scales in Δ+ . Such findings underline the potential of Δ+ in highlighting relevant spatial scales of variation in patterns of hydroid diversity. Our results also suggest that the interplay between natural environmental variations and the complex ecological traits of modular organisms might affect taxonomic distinctness indices. We stress the need for further investigations focusing on modular organisms before any generalizations on the use of taxonomic relatedness measures in examining marine biodiversity can be made. 相似文献

A novel two-phase hybrid controller is proposed to optimize propellant consumption during multiple spacecraft rendezvous maneuvers
in Low Earth Orbit. This controller exploits generated differentials in aerodynamic drag on each involved chaser spacecraft
to effect a propellant-free trajectory near to the target spacecraft during the first phase of the maneuver, and then uses
a fuel optimal control strategy via continuous low-thrust engines to effect a precision dock during the second phase. In particular,
by varying the imparted aerodynamic drag force on each of the chaser spacecraft, relative differential accelerations are generated
between each chaser and the target spacecraft along two of the three translational degrees of freedom. In order to generate
this required differential, each chaser spacecraft is assumed to include a system of rotating flat panels. Additionally, each
chaser spacecraft is assumed to have continuous low-thrust capability along the three translational degrees of freedom and
full-axis attitude control. Sample simulations are presented to support the validity and robustness of the proposed hybrid
controller to variations in the atmospheric density along with different spacecraft masses and ballistic coefficients. Furthermore,
the proposed hybrid controller is validated against a complete nonlinear orbital model to include relative navigation errors
typical of carrier-phase differential GPS (CDGPS). Limitations of the proposed controller appear relative to the target spacecraft’s
orbit eccentricity and a general characterization of the atmospheric density. Bounds on these variables are included to provide
a framework within which the proposed hybrid controller can effect an extremely low propellant rendezvous of multiple chaser
spacecraft to a desired target spacecraft. 相似文献

Taxonomic distinctness has been applied successfully for the exploration of biodiversity patterns, yet its relevance in environmental impact assessment is far from being unquestioned. In this study, we assessed the potential of taxonomic distinctness to discern perturbed and unperturbed sites by analysing Mediterranean nematode assemblages. Geographic and habitat-related effects on the performance of the index were also explored. Above all, our findings do not corroborate the conjecture that taxonomic distinctness could be largely unaffected by natural variability, habitat features, and biogeographic context, casting doubts on potential generalization concerning its application as an indicator of environmental stress. Taxonomic distinctness represents an excellent metric to identifying taxonomic properties of ecological systems but, as for other ecological indices, it should be viewed as a complementary tool in environmental impact assessment, due to its sensitiveness to specific environmental features of systems being investigated. 相似文献

Taxonomic Sufficiency (TS) is a promising analysis technique, particularly in light of the current need for rapid and reliable procedures in marine impact assessment and monitoring. However, generalizations are still difficult and there are few studies comparing the effectiveness of TS under different environmental settings. The present study investigates whether reduced taxonomy can be used to detect natural and human-driven patterns of variation in mollusk and polychaete assemblages from subtidal soft and hard bottoms in the Mediterranean. Results showed that, unlike in polychaetes, mollusk families represent effective taxonomic surrogates across a range of environmental contexts. These findings suggest that the mechanisms behind TS in mollusks could act homogeneously across habitats and environmental conditions. In contrast, multiple factors could interact to determine the robustness of polychaetes to taxonomic aggregation. This study highlights the need to go beyond the current pragmatism in this field of work and focus on the reasons underlying TS effectiveness in order to provide a general framework on the application of taxonomic surrogates in marine systems. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate the concentration and distribution of heavy metals in the sediments of Paulo Gorski Lake, as well as the metals’ bioavailability and potential ecological risk, and to define the anthropogenic and natural heavy metal contributions to the lake. The chemical elements calcium (Ca), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), sodium (Na), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) were quantified by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry with two extraction methods to quantify the bioavailable and non-bioavailable fractions. The data were evaluated using multivariate statistics and sediment quality indices. All sediment collection points (S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5) are different in terms of the concentration of heavy metals, except for S4 and S5, which were statistically equal. The bioavailable fraction of the elements in the sediment follows the sequence Pb>Cu>Mn>Zn>Ni>Cr>phosphorus (P) for all points. The elements Co, Cr, Pb, and Zn showed moderate to considerable contamination at all points. Only points S3 and S5 had moderate ecological risk. Urbanization has been affecting Paulo Gorski Lake via the input of chemical elements, especially Co and Pb. The points most affected by heavy metal contamination are S3 and S5 when the sedimentological sensitivity factor is considered. The lake has high hydrodynamics, causing some of the contaminants that enter the system to leave it, leading to potential negative impacts downstream. 相似文献

The Veneto region is one of the major tourist destinations in Italy, attracting some 20 million foreign and 24 million domestic arrivals each year through the variety of natural and cultural resources it has to offer. This paper examines the structure of foreign tourism, highlighting the importance of the Adriatic coast and Venice, and outlines some of the impacts which have resulted from the rapid and unplanned development of mass tourism. 相似文献
