Effects of discharge, wind, and tide on sedimentation in a recently restored tidal freshwater wetland
No full textSediment deposition is one of the key mechanisms to counteract the impact of sea level rise in tidal freshwater wetlands (TFWs). However, information about sediment deposition rates in TFWs is limited, especially for those located in the transition zone between the fluvially dominated and tidally dominated sections of a river delta where sedimentation rates are affected by the combined impact of river discharge, wind, and tides. Using a combined hydrodynamic-morphological model, we examined how hydrometeorological boundary conditions control sedimentation rates and patterns in a TFW located in the Rhine-Meuse estuary in the Netherlands. The modelling results show that net sedimentation rate increases with the magnitude of the river discharge, whereas stronger wind increasingly prevents sedimentation. Sediment trapping efficiency decreases for both increasing river discharge and wind magnitude. The impact of wind storms on the trapping efficiency becomes smaller for higher water discharge. The spatial sedimentation patterns are affected by all controls. Our study illustrates the importance of evaluating both the separate and the joint impact of discharge, wind, and tides when estimating sedimentation rates in a TFW affected by these controls. Such insights are relevant to design measures to reactivate the sedimentation process in these areas.</p

Genetic analysis of fiber-dimension traits and combined selection for simultaneous improvement of growth and stiffness in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta)
No full textQuantitative genetic variation of fiber-dimension traits and their relationship with diameter at breast height (DBH) and solid-wood traits (i.e. density and modulus of elasticity (MOE)) was investigated in lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var. latifolia Engelm.). A total of 823 increment cores were sampled from 207 half-sib families at two independent progeny trials, aged 34-35 year, located in northern Sweden. High-resolution pith-to-bark profiles were obtained for radial fiber width (RFW), tangential fiber width (TFW), fiber wall thickness (FWT), and fiber coarseness (FC) using SilviScan. Heritabilities ranged from 0.29 to 0.74 and inheritance increased with cambial maturity. Estimated age-age genetic correlations indicate that early selection between ages 5 and 8 years is highly efficient. Our results indicate that selection for a 1% increase in DBH or MOE incurs a negligible effect on fiber-dimension traits and maximum genetic gains are reached when DBH and MOE are considered jointly. Moreover, simultaneous improvement of growth and stiffness is achievable when a selection index with 7 to 10 economical weights for MOE relative to 1 for DBH is incorporated. However, the unfavorable relationship between solid-wood and pulp and paper-related traits suggests that breeding strategies must be implemented to improve wood quality of lodgepole pine for multiple uses.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.

The diversity of Hippocampus abdominalis in New Zealand
No full textThis study investigates the diversity and population differentiation of the New Zealand Pot-belly seahorse Hippocampus abdominalis through the utilization of morphological and genetic data. Four microsatellite loci - Habd3, Habd6, Habd7 and Habd9 - and three mitochondrial DNA markers - cytochrome b (814 bp), cytochrome oxidase 1 (624 bp) and control region (404 bp) - in conjunction with quantified morphological features revealed a very high diversity but low population differentiation within New Zealand, suggesting very high levels of gene flow. Some sexual dimorphism was detected, in the terms of shorter snout length and trunk length, and a higher incidence of fronds and spotting in males. A sample size of 166 yielded 31-46 microsatellite alleles and no common multilocus genotypes, and 36-40 new sequences were generated for each mitochondrial DNA marker exposing 14-16 haplotypes, with a maximum of 0.7-2.2% sequence divergence. H. abdominalis were found to be widely dispersed mainly in low density populations. As this species is likely to be facing increased threats from exploitation and habitat degradation in the future it is hoped that this information contributes to the knowledge about H. abdominalis so that future conservation management would be easier to implement
Intensivmedizinische Qualitätsindikatoren für Deutschland - vierte Auflage 2022
No full textThe measurement of quality indicators supports quality improvement initiatives. The German Interdisciplinary Society of Intensive Care Medicine (DIVI) has published quality indicators for intensive care medicine for the fourth time now. After a scheduled evaluation after three years, changes in several indicators were made. Other indicators were not changed or only minimally. The focus remained strongly on relevant treatment processes like management of analgesia and sedation, mechanical ventilation and weaning, and infections in the ICU. Another focus was communication inside the ICU. The number of 10 indicators remained the same. The development method was more structured and transparency was increased by adding new features like evidence levels or author contribution and potential conflicts of interest. These quality indicators should be used in the peer review in intensive care, a method endorsed by the DIVI. Other forms of measurement and evaluation are also reasonable, for example in quality management. This fourth edition of the quality indicators will be updated in the future to reflect the recently published recommendations on the structure of intensive care units by the DIVI.Die Messung relevanter Qualitätsindikatoren unterstützt Initiativen zur Qualitätsverbesserung. Die Deutsche Interdisziplinäre Vereinigung für Intensiv- und Notfallmedizin (DIVI) hat die intensivmedizinischen Qualitätsindikatoren nun zum vierten Mal publiziert. Sie wurden nach drei Jahren überarbeitet und einige Indikatoren wurden angepasst. Andere Indikatoren erfuhren keine oder nur minimale Änderungen. Der Fokus besteht weiter auf relevanten Behandlungsprozessen wie Management von Analgesie und Sedierung, Beatmung und Weaning sowie Infektionen auf der Intensivstation. Die Gesamtzahl von zehn Indikatoren blieb bestehen. Die Entwicklung der Indikatoren erfolgte in der neuen Version nach einem anderen Prozess. Die Transparenz wurde durch Erwähnung der Einzelbeiträge der Autoren sowie auch potenzieller Interessenkonflikte erhöht. Die Anwendung der Qualitätsindikatoren im Peer-Review-Prozess der DIVI ist weiter wesentlicher Schwerpunkt. Aber auch andere Anwendungen, z.B. im Qualitätsmanagement, sind sinnvoll. Diese vierte Auflage der Qualitätsindikatoren wird noch einmal aktualisiert, um die kürzlich veröffentlichten Empfehlungen der DIVI zur Struktur der Intensivstationen zu berücksichtigen
