Littoral wetlands and lake inflow dynamics
… water temperature is specifically important in littoral wetlands, where it can alter the intrusion depth in the downstream lake. Numerical analysis in conjunction with field observations shows that littoral wetlands located in small or forested watersheds can raise the water temperature of the …

ASSESSING THE LITTORAL COMBAT SHIP'S SUSTAINMENT CAPABILITIES
… of the Freedom and Independence variants of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) in performing sustainment functions, specifically providing supply and medical evacuation support. Using experimental design techniques, a meta-model is developed to analyze the LCS’s performance across a range of factors …

Cooperative tracking for persistent littoral undersea surveillance
The US Navy has identified a need for an autonomous, persistent, forward deployed system to Detect, Classify, and Locate submarines. In this context, we investigate a novel method for multiple sensor platforms acting cooperatively to locate an uncooperative target. Conventional tracking methods …

The Effects of Odonates on a Littoral Prey Community
… Michigan. These opportunistic predators cling to littoral vegetation and consume aquatic insects and microcrustaceans. To monitor the effects of these odonate predators on community dynamics, a 2X2 factorial in situ enclosure experiment was set up and monitored over an eight-week period. Twelve …

A Littoral Place: Loss and Environment in Contemporary Newfoundland Fiction
This dissertation examines three contemporary Newfoundland novels to reconsider the relationship among loss, environment, and Newfoundland identity. Studies of Newfoundland literature often perform environmentally deterministic readings, or readings that characterize Newfoundland as a nostalgic and …

ACCELERATED NOISE INTERFEROMETRY-BASED PASSIVE ACOUSTIC CHARACTERIZATION OF THE LITTORAL OCEAN
Acoustic remote sensing of the ocean traditionally relies on controlled sound sources and active sonars. Alternatively, the seabed and the water column can be characterized acoustically in a surreptitious and environmentally friendly way using noise interferometry. Noise interferometry exploits …

From the Edge: the Littoral in Visual and Literary Imaginaries of Mexico
The word littoral/*litoral* derives from the Latin *litor*, meaning ‘of or pertaining to the shore’ (OED). It entered usage in the mid-seventeenth century and has since accumulated a variety of referents, some cartographically or ecologically specific, others symbolic. The ‘littoral zone’ has most …

Literature and the littoral in South Africa: reading the tides of history
This thesis explores representations of the littoral in South African literature. It analyses literature published in three broad historical periods with the specific focus on the littoral as a setting from which authors imagine histories differently, often as a corrective, to challenge and wrestle …

Classification of Marine Vessels in a Littoral Environment Using a Novel Training Database
… of marine vessels commonly found in littoral environments. This research seeks to fill this void and is the combination of a multi-stage research endeavor designed to provide the missing marine vessel ontology. The first of the two stages performed to date introduces a novel training …

A study of the littoral marine isopod Crustacea of the Dillon Beach area
… study was to provide accurate diagnoses of the littoral marine isopod crustacea in the Dillon Beach area. Such a purpose involved a much more complete study of the anatomy of the species represented in the fauna than was heretofore performed. Certain anatomical structures deemed by earlier …

The utilization of littoral and estuarine habitats by fish in the Southwestern Cape
This thesis examines the utilization of rocky intertidal, sandy-beach surf-zone and estuarine habits by fishes on the southwestern Cape coast of South Africa. It has there central objectives: 1) to determine the species composition, abundance, size structure and seasonality of fish and to examine …

Context-dependent controls of periphyton across the littoral-benthic habitat of deep, clear lakes
Littoral-benthic habitats can play a key role in governing whole ecosystem production within lakes. Typical controls of littoral-benthic production can include light, nutrients, and grazers, although, studies examining production across the photic zone in deep lakes are limited. This study …

Effects of water willow establishment on littoral assemblages in Kansas reservoirs: focus on age-0 largemouth bass
… American water willow Justicia americana, on littoral reservoir communities. Coves in three large (>1,800 ha) Kansas impoundments were chosen and half planted with water willow. Sampling was conducted during the summer from 2001 to 2004. I found that water willow coves had more complex habitat …
