FSML: Major Instrumentation and Communication Improvements for the Kewalo Marine Laboratory

Kew海洋实验室建于1971-72年。除了大楼及其优良的海水系统外，该实验室还配备了必要的核心设备，包括大容量蒸馏系统、实验室玻璃器皿洗碗机、高压锅和液体闪烁计数器。在随后的26年里，凯瓦洛实验室为常驻和访问科学家的杰出研究以及研究生和博士后培训提供了空间和设施。最近的翻修工程耗资巨大，对大楼的结构进行了翻新，更换了一台老化的含有多氯联苯的变压器，为海水系统建造了一个新的海平面泵房，用反渗透系统取代了中央水蒸气系统，并提供了与夏威夷大学主校区的硬线计算机连接。该项目将在现场使用破旧的洗碗机、高压灭菌器和过时的液体闪烁计数器，所有这些对实验室工作人员的研究活动都是必不可少的，并为中央系统提供计算机，使实验室的研究人员能够共享外围硬件，并建立关于夏威夷常见海洋动物发生、繁殖和发育的数据库。Kewalo海洋实验室重新定义的目标声明将重点放在“沿海环境中的生物分子相互作用”上，重点放在生物生物学上，利用最新的技术和分子方法回答有关发育和补充、感觉生物学、共生、微生物生态学、环境生物学、环境生物学、种群/进化生物学以及引进物种的影响等问题。

The Kew Marine Laboratory was constructed in 1971-72. In addition to the building and its excellent sea-water system, the laboratory was equipped with essential core equipment, including a large-capacity water-distilling system, a laboratory-glassware dishwasher, an autoclave and a liquid- scintillation counter. In the subsequent 26 years, the Kewalo Lab has provided the space and facilities for outstanding research by resident and visiting scientists and for graduate and postdoctoral training. Recent renovations, at state expensive, have renewed the building structurally, replaced an aging, PCB-containing transformer, built a new sea-level pump house for the sea-water system, replaced the central water-distilling system with a reverse-osmosis system, and provided hard-wire computer contact with the main University of Hawaii campus. This project will worn out dish washer and autoclave and the outmoded liquid- scintillation counter, all of which are essential, on site, to the research activities of all who work at the lab, and provide computers for a central system that will allow researchers in the lab to share peripheral hardware and build a database on occurrence, reproduction and development of common Hawaiian marine animals. The redefined goals statement for the Kewalo Marine Laboratory sets the focus on "bio-molecular interactions in coastal environments," with an emphasis on organismal biology, utilizing the most up-to date technology and molecular approaches to answer questions on development and recruitment, sensory biology, symbiosis, microbial ecology, environmental biology,enviromental biology, population/evolutionary biology, and the effects of introduced species
