    Plankton community properties determined by nutrients and size-selective feeding

    No full text
    The potential impacts of climate change on marine planktonic ecosystems remain difficult to predict. Climate forcing can alter nutrient availability and predator community composition, and here we show that these shifts may dramatically alter plankton trophic structure, size distributions and biomass. We modeled phytoplankton and zooplankton as a highly resolved size spectrum with size-dependent nutrient uptake and predation and analyzed the model both as a size spectrum and as a food web. Model results identified 2 distinct regimes defined by the average zooplankton feeding preferences. Regime I communities, where planktonic predators are specialists or large relative to prey, had low omnivory, many top predators, low connectance and relatively flat size spectra. Regime II communities, where predators are generalists or small relative to prey, had a high degree of omnivory, no top predators, high connectance and steep size spectra. Model ecosystems with generalist predators had lower size diversity, smaller plankton and gappier size distributions than ecosystems with specialist predators. Nutrient availability had little influence on trophic structure but strongly impacted size structure and biomass. Most surprisingly, phytoplankton biomass sometimes decreased with added nutrients if predators were small relative to prey, implying that both predators and nutrients mediate shifts between bottom-up and top-down control. Based on our synthesized estimates of size-selective feeding parameters, we infer that size and trophic structure should be strongly affected by abundances of generalist, bloom-forming taxa such as salps and jellyfish, many of which are responsive to ocean temperature. Size-selective feeding fundamentally affects community structure and is a likely mechanism of change in planktonic ecosystems where community composition varies with temperature.Article accompanied by supplement (13 p.): Plankton community properties determined by nutrients and size-selective feedingPeer reviewe

    Intestinal trichomoniasis due to Tritrichomonas mobilensis in tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri)

    No full text
    Intestinal trichomoniasis was observed in 156 of 202 Tupaia belangeri (77.2%). The parasites were located principally in the cecum (75%) and were far less common in the proximal portion of the colon (19%) or terminal portion of the ileum (6%). Advanced trichomoniasis was associated with liquid cecal contents but not diarrhea. The trichomonads had a tendency to penetrate the mucosal epithelial layer, causing desquamation of entire crypts. They never penetrated the epithelial basement membrane and never triggered inflammatory responses. The trichomonads were characterized by three anterior flagella and one trailing flagellum that extended over the entire parasite body, connected to it by an undulating membrane. The capitulum of the straight axostyle formed a small but well defined pelta, and the stout costa had distinct banding. The parasites thereby matched the description of Tritrichomonas mobilensis

    Der künstlerische Widerspruch eines politisierten Autors Anmerkungen zum literarischen Werk von Jürgen Fuchs im 21. Jahrhundert

    Jürgen Fuchs (1950–1999) was born in the GDR and was a writer, journalist, essayist, peace movement activist and psychologist. Before the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 Fuchs was the most important author living in the forced emigration. In 1976 Fuchs was arrested by the Ministry for State Security. The reason for prosecution was political. The government deprived of his citizenship and send him to the West Germany. The basis of the exile was connected with long conflict between authorities and Fuchs litetature. The article shows the biography, creation and political activity of J. Fuchs who was known in the 21st century mainly as a dissident and political author meanwhile he was a writer focused on GDR and the settlement with German dictatorship. This contribution explains the reason of difficult reception of his heritage and encourages the thinking about East Germany legacy

    Filter-Based Active Damping of Voltage Source Converters With LCLLCL Filter

    No full text
    Pulsewidth modulation (PWM) voltage source converters are becoming a popular interface to the power grid for many applications. Hence, issues related to the reduction of PWM harmonics injection in the power grid are becoming more relevant. The use of high-order filters like LCL filters is a standard solution to provide the proper attenuation of PWM carrier and sideband voltage harmonics. However, those grid filters introduce potentially unstable dynamics that should be properly damped either passively or actively. The second solution suffers from control and system complexity (a high number of sensors and a high-order controller), even if it is more attractive due to the absence of losses in the damping resistors and due to its flexibility. An interesting and straightforward active damping solution consists in plugging in, in cascade to the main controller, a filter that should damp the unstable dynamics. No more sensors are needed, but there are open issues such as preserving the bandwidth, robustness, and limited complexity. This paper provides a systematic approach to the design of filter-based active damping methods. The tuning procedures, performance, robustness, and limitations of the different solutions are discussed with theoretical analysis, selected simulation, and experimental results
