Plankton distribution spectra: inter-size class variability and the relative slopes for phytoplankton and zooplankton

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

A Preliminary Study of the Plankton of the Cleveland Harbor Area, Ohio. III. The Zooplankton, and General Ecological Considerations of Phytoplankton and Zooplankton Production

Zooplankton mortality and the dynamical behaviour of plankton population models.

We investigate the dynamical behaviour of a simple plankton population model, which explicitly simulates the concentrations of nutrient, phytoplankton and zooplankton in the oceanic mixed layer. The model consists of three coupled ordinary differential equations. We use analytical and numerical techniques, focusing on the existence and nature of steady states and unforced oscillations (limit cy...

Intermittency in the plankton: a multifractal analysis of zooplankton biomass variability

We present the first evidence that variability in zooplankton biomass can be characterized as a multifractal. An hourly tune series of vertically integrated acoustic biomass measurements, taken from a fixed mooring on the Atlantic coastline, provided the data for our analysis. Two measures of variability were analyzed: the first difference squared and the squared difference from the mean. When ...
