Abstract Diminished reproduction success in species with narrow distribution ranges might be one of the factors responsible for their limited dispersal and colonization abilities. We investigated here various aspects seed biology West Carpathian endemic Daphne arbuscula (Thymelaeaceae) compared it its more widespread relative D. cneorum . In both species, we (i) differences viability germinatio...

Abstract Dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration is a fundamental metric to describe climate-related alterations in deep lakes. Increasing water temperatures enhance thermal stratification, leading temperate basins growing isolation of waters. This leads the depletion hypolimnetic DO, which adds up limited nutrient circulation and restricted replenishment trophogenic layers. With vanishing convecti...

Index words: Numerical modeling Lake Michigan Phytoplankton Quagga mussels The disappearance of the spring phytoplankton bloom in Lake Michigan has been attributed in some studies to the direct effect of quagga mussel filter-feeding. We applied a biophysical model to test whether the observed reduction in the spring bloom can be explained by direct effects of quagga mussel grazing. We developed...

we develop a theory of stratified $lm$-filters which generalizes the theory of stratified $l$-filters. our stratification condition explicitly depends on a suitable mapping between the lattices $l$ and $m$. if $l$ and $m$ are identical and the mapping is the identity mapping, then we obtain the theory of stratified $l$-filters. based on the stratified $lm$-filters, a general theory of lattice-v...

Abstract By increasing Earth-atmosphere system albedo, Stratospheric Aerosol Geoengineering (SAG) using sulfur dioxide is an artificial potential means, with the goal to mitigate global warming effects. In this study, we used simulations from Large Ensemble project realized under climate change scenario of Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5), investigate impact SAG on Sea Surface ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine whether stratification of deceased donors by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) criteria negatively impacts graft survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed deceased donor and recipient pretransplant variables of kidney transplantations that occurred between February 1995 and December 2009. We compared clinical outcomes ...

For aquatic biological processes, diurnal and annual cycles of water temperature are very important to plants as well as to animals and microbes living in the water. An existing one-dimensional model has been extended to simulate the temperature profile within a small water body. A year-round outdoor experiment has been conducted to estimate the model input parameters and to verify the model. B...

The climate response of the equatorial Pacific to increased greenhouse gases is investigated using numerical experiments from 11 climate models participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment Report. Multimodel mean climate responses to CO2 doubling are identified and related to changes in the heat budget of the surface layer. Weaker ocean surface currents dri...

Abstract. Temperature extremes not only directly affect the marine environment and ecosystems but also indirectly influence hydrodynamics life. In this study, role of heat wave events in occurrence persistence thermal stratification was analysed by simulating water temperature North Sea from 2011 to 2018 using a fully coupled hydrodynamic model within framework Geesthacht Coupled cOAstal SysTem...
