Abstract In the present study, the height of internal solitary wave is derived by combining the theoretical fluid flow field from perturbation method and MODIS images. The flow field is derived by assuming two-layer fluid system. Note that it is difficult to determine the interface depth from CTD measurement because sea water density changes continuously with depth. Moreover, changing the upper layer thickness will significantly affect the estimate of wave height. Thus, a proper method should be used so that the two-layer fluid system can represent the continuously stratified sea water. The resulting parameters for the two-layer system are the upper and lower layer thickness h1 and h2 and the corresponding densities £l1 and £l2 . Another important parameter dpp derived from MODIS images is the distance from dark-band to light-band. The dark-band and light-band are due to the interaction of surface and internal waves that changes roughness on the ocean surface. These processes are discussed in detail in this thesis. Finally, the parameters h1, h2, £l1, £l2 and dpp are combined to estimate internal solitary waves height in the deep ocean. According to the estimate for deep ocean with 3000m depth, the wave height is about 100m which is quite reasonable by comparing with in-situ observation.

The research over-viewed in this dissertation concerns very accurate variational calculations of the molecular systems with more than two electrons under the assumption of the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation. The centerpiece of this research is the use of explicitly correlated Gaussian (ECG) basis functions with floating centers to generate the potential energy curve (PEC) and potential energy surface (PES) of the considered molecular systems. One challenge of such calculations is the occurrence of the linear dependency between basis functions in the process of basis set optimization. The BO PECs generated with ECG basis sets were limited to two-electron molecular systems for a few decades prior to the implementation of the author's approaches to this issue. These approaches include methods for a partial remedy to linear dependence, better guessing of initial basis functions, permanently removing the restriction of memory usage in parallel computer systems, and efficiently paralleling the calculations. The approach effectively utilizing the super computer systems yields benefits not only to the ECG calculations but could also be useful in the fields that require the significant amount of the computational resources. These procedures were implemented in computer codes that were run quite extensively on several parallel computer systems during the period of the author's Ph.D study. The calculated adiabatic PECs and the rovibrational energy levels are proven to be the most accurate ones to date. The dissertation is primarily based on the content of the papers that were published in co-authorship with my scientific advisor and other collaborators in several scientific journals. It also includes some details that were not considered in the publications but are essential for the completeness and good understanding of the presented work. In order to provide readers an insight into the development of the ECG based BO molecular calculation, the published results of many calculations are classified and presented in a comprehensive way.

A atuação da arquiteta é muito pertinente ao desenvolvimento da arquitetura moderna brasileira devido à qualidade de suas obras e pela força das questões que encerram. Assim, podem ser estabelecidos alguns pontos de contatos e aproximações importantes entre sua atuação e a própria movimentação moderna brasileira para balizar o que se pretende aqui. Inicialmente, a aproximação com a arquitetura de Lina Bo Bardi se organiza para configurar um quadro que evidencie as três instâncias em que se configuram esta tensão moderno/popular: a materialidade do projeto, o uso popular do espaço moderno e a transformação das escalas de produção. A abordagem focaliza este último aspecto, para a partir dele tratar das expectativas da arquiteta de desenvolver um desenho industrial baseado numa capacidade de manufatura popular e vislumbrar sua inserção como valor cultural de uma produção moderna. Com isto, Lina Bo Bardi amplia o sentido da prática arquitetônica moderna e simultaneamente pode trazer questões importantes para o debate atual, revelando outros parâmetros para o fazer arquitetura. / Salvador
