HelloEveryone Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I'm still (ludicrously) trying to work through some code for a whale population model.. but beer is sounding better and better Bruin123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelloEveryone Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Now that just sounds awesome. I <3 whales. me too However, you wouldn't think that's true b/c the first few times I tried the model, I killed off all the whales really quick. Then I had a problem with negative whale populations, and wanted to spread a theory about anti-whales swimming through the Atlantic canceling out my real whales..

Kriegsspiele Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Krieg. I'm having a franziskaner as we speak! Ah good choice. Haven't had one in a while, next time I go to Munich though I'll grab a case for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What field are you in to be able to do such awesome models? I've been really wanting to break into population dynamics modeling (specifically whales), but Biostats faculty/my advisors/my slave drivers to whom I owe my soul don't particularly care for those models, so I have to study other things.

topcat84 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Absolutely no offense. BUT. Why would the DoD care about whales? Lol. Unless they have laser beams attached to their heads...... Awexome and hello! :) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruin123 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) Absolutely no offense. BUT. Why would the DoD care about whales? Lol. Unless they have laser beams attached to their heads...... Actually, there's a program in the Navy where whales and dolphins are trained to detect underwater mines. But I also imagine that abundance modeling is important to the Navy to see how likely it is for an aircraft carrier to strike a whale and upset Greenpeace.

I'm actually in the "Earth and Atmospheric Sciences" dept., working with a couple oceanographers that have really really broad interests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelloEveryone Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Now that was funny! Maybe funny.. but absolutely right. Also, I'm just a first year dabbling in some projects, and I mostly wrote to DOD about bio-acoustics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat84 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I knew dolphins but did not know whales! Awesome. Still needs more flubber - glavin.

mposa Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 [quote name=hello! ' timestamp='1303149810' post='246816] YEAH! That's what I got on Saturday! But I didn't take a screenshot of it before I refreshed and got "locked out." The page that I got forwarded to after logging in was ndseg.asee.org/award/sessions, but if you go there without logging in, it's a 404 page. It's a little odd because if you type in a random address like ndseg.asee.org/award/test, it's a different 404 page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat84 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I think we are missing the key point. Save the whale movement....then train them to sniff out mines? Seems quite cruel....or morbidly awesome! "Oh your're not endagered anymore?? BOOM!" Awexome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hello! :) Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Where did you come up with the URL https://ndseg.asee.org/award/sessions ? If I go there, I get the same message as you. However, If I go to https://ndseg.asee.org/award it brings me to a login page where my login information from the application is not valid. https://ndseg.asee.org/apply Hey mposa, it's the URL that I got forwarded to after trying to log in. Not sure how to trigger it again and what the heck it's for. I haven't been able to do it again since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
