## Abstract A regularized time‐staggered discretization of the shallow‐water equations has recently been proposed. Here, a new form of the regularization operator is presented. This form addresses a weakness in the original formulation so that now the discretization preserves the analytic forced re

Abstract
A key aspect of the recently proposed Hamiltonian particle‐mesh (HPM) method is its time‐staggered discretization combined with a regularization of the continuous governing equations. In this article, the time discretization aspect of the HPM method is analysed for the linearized, rotating, shallow‐water equations with orography, and the combined effect of time‐staggering and regularization is compared analytically with the popular two‐time‐level semi‐implicit time discretization of the unregularized equations. It is found that the two approaches are essentially equivalent, provided the regularization parameter is chosen appropriately in terms of the time step Δ__t__. The article treats space as a continuum and, hence, its analysis is not limited to the HPM method. Copyright © 2005 Royal Meteorological Society

## Abstract A new type of fluorescence assay for the determination of peroxidase (POx) activity is presented. The assay is based on the indication of the enzymatic consumption of H~2~O~2~ (HP), using a fluorescent europium–tetracycline (Eu~3~TC) complex as indicator. On addition of HP, this complex
