Laboratory studies are increasingly indicating that the quality of nutrient-limited algae is suboptimal for zooplankton production. However, little known about how affected by nutrient limitation phytoplankton in more natural situations. To test phosphorus (P) growth under realistic food conditions, we performed a set 5-d experiments using Daphnia dentifera and suspended particulate matter (seston) from three lakes at Experimental Lakes Area (Ontario, Canada). Neonate fed 6 h per day on...
Abstract. Ocean acidification, a complex phenomenon that lowers seawater pH, is the net outcome of several contributions. They include dissolution increasing atmospheric CO2 adds up with dissolved inorganic carbon (dissolved CO2, H2CO3, HCO3−, and CO32−) generated upon mineralization primary producers (PP) organic matter (DOM). The aquatic processes leading to are substantially affected by increased DOM nutrients via terrestrial runoff, acidic rainfall, PP algal blooms, nitrification,...
This paper analyzes the various design parameters of thermal conductivity (k) probe and makes recommendations for applications nonfrozen food materials. The k is a simplified application line-heat source theory, but this simplification contributes to instrument error which can be minimized by paying particular attention size probes materials construction. As diameter decreases, its accuracy increases; however, small are difficult make. Therefore, it recommended that users their using highest...
The dynamics of fluorescent dissolved organic matter (FDOM) in the large monomictic freshwater Lake Biwa (surface area 675 km 2 , maximum depth 104 m) was studied from December 2010 to 2011. protein‐like FDOM (FDOM T ) and carbon (DOC) showed epilimnetic accumulation 4.42 ± 0.22 quinine sulfate units [QSU] 6.30 0.04 QSU; DOC 80.8 2.7 µmol L −1 102.7 3.5 between nutrient‐replete winter mixing nutrient‐depleted stratified periods. This is attributed reduced heterotrophic activity following...

ABSTRACT: There are many dried foods of hollow cylinder‐shapes in the market. Hygrostress cracks form these during drying without a careful process control. The objective present work was to develop simulation method for heat and moisture transfer cylinder‐food coupled with hygrophysical changes. A modified Luikov's model used development together virtual minimization principle, critical tensile stress criterion crack formation, crack‐tip‐opening angle propagation. developed, computerized...
The importance of diurnal stratification for the formation cyanobacterial blooms was examined using large enclosures (180 m 3 ) in a shallow bay Lake Biwa, Japan 1995 and 1997. Three different mixing regimes were set up: covered with transparent plastic sheet to prevent wind from causing turbulence water column loss heat radiation continuously stratified, those artificially mixed pumps each day disrupt never controls which stratified diurnally, Concentration dissolved inorganic nitrogen...
To understand the behavior of fluorescent whitening agents (FWAs) in a lake environment, we measured quantities two FWAs, DSBP, and DAS1, water samples collected monthly from six depths column, sediment trap sample, core sample Lake Biwa, largest Japan, sewage, effluent, river lake's catchment. We conducted sunlight exposure experiment developed method to estimate degree photodegradation by using DSBP/DAS1 ratio environmental samples. The observed seasonal pattern vertical distributions FWAs...
