Maximum phytoplankton concentrations in the sea
A simplification of plankton dynamics using coagulation theory provides predictions of the maximum algal concentration sustainable in aquatic systems. These predictions have previously been tested successfully against results from iron fertilization experiments. We extend the test to data collected in the North Atlantic as part of the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series program as well as data collect...
متن کاملForming the primary nitrite maximum: Nitrifiers or phytoplankton?
As intermediary in a number of key biological processes, the dynamics of oceanic NO 2 concentrations have historically been used as an indicator of the balance between oxidative and reductive pathways in the marine nitrogen cycle. As appreciation of the role of NO 2 in the marine nitrogen cycle grew through the 1960s and 1970s, and data sets from different ocean basins became available, a commo...

متن کاملTreatment of vernal conjunctivitis.
THE aetiology of vernal conjunctivitis is not yet established apart from a supposed association with "allergy ". Fibrolysin (Luedde, 1920), acetic acid, lactic acid (Tontscheff, 1929), chaulmoogra oil (El-Tobgy, 1933), and other classical "magic eye-drops ", have all proved useless. No specific therapy has been found apart from palliatives till the disease subsides of its own accord. The clinic...
متن کاملManagement of Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis
Vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a relatively rare, chronic form of ocular allergy that can potentially cause severe visual complications. Affecting mainly children and young adults, it is an IgE- and T cell-mediated disease, leading to a chronic inflammation in which eosinophil, lymphocyte and structural cell activation are involved. Treatment of VKC requires a multiple approach that inclu...
