SEASONAL AND INTER-ANNUAL VARIABILITY OF PLANKTON CHLOROPHYLL AND PRIMARY PRODUCTION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA: A MODELLING APPROACH

Seasonal and inter-annual variability of plankton chlorophyll and primary production in the Mediterranean Sea: a modelling approach

This study presents a model of chlorophyll and primary production in the pelagic Mediterranean Sea.A 3-D-biogeochemical model (OPATM-BFM) was adopted to explore specific system characteristics and quantify dynamics of key biogeochemical variables over a 6 yr period, from 1999 to 2004.We show that, on a basin scale, the Mediterranean Sea is characte

An open-source software analysis package for Microspheres with Ratiometric Barcode Lanthanide Encoding (MRBLEs).

Multiplexed bioassays, in which multiple analytes of interest are probed in parallel within a single small volume, have greatly accelerated the pace of biological discovery.Bead-based multiplexed bioassays have many technical advantages, including near solution-phase kinetics, small sample volume requirements, many within-assay replicates to reduce
