TL;DR: Access to light appeared to be the main factor determining the dominant phytoplankton species in a turbid-river weir pool based on the establishment or destruction of persistent thermal stratification.
Abstract: The transitions between the diatoms Aulacoseira spp. (Melosira) and the cyanobacteria Anabaena spp. as dominant phytoplankton species in a turbid-river weir pool are shown to depend directly on the establishment or destruction of persistent thermal stratification. A transition from high to low flow through the pool resulted in the establishment of persistent thermal stratification, causing Aulacoseira to sink out of the euphotic zone at a speed of 0.95 m d-l. Concurrently, the slightly buoyant Anabaena grew within the euphotic zone with a specific growth rate of 0.37 d-l, climaxing after approximately 14 d at a population of 20,000-30,000 cells ml I, at which point its biomass may have been limited by the availability of phosphorus. The stratification thus caused the phytoplankton population to separate into two distinct layers, with Anabaena occupying the illuminated surface layer and Aulacoseiru found only in the lower layer below the euphotic depth. Under stratified conditions, the ratio of the surface layer depth to euphotic depth, z,, : z,,, was approximately 1, whereas for a mixed water column that ratio was >3. Access to light appeared to be the main factor determining the dominant phytoplankton species.

TL;DR: The aims were to discover SNP associated with all traits studied, but especially RFI, and further to test the consistency of SNP effects across different cattle populations and breed types, which showed consistent between data sets only when estimated within the same breed type.
Abstract: A genome wide-association study for production traits in cattle was carried out using genotype data from the 10K Affymetrix (Santa Clara, CA) and the 50K Illumina (San Diego, CA) SNP chips. The results for residual feed intake (RFI), BW, and hip height in 3 beef breed types (Bos indicus, Bos taurus, and B. indicus × B. taurus), and for stature in dairy cattle, are presented. The aims were to discover SNP associated with all traits studied, but especially RFI, and further to test the consistency of SNP effects across different cattle populations and breed types. The data were analyzed within data sets and within breed types by using a mixed model and fitting 1 SNP at a time. In each case, the number of significant SNP was more than expected by chance alone. A total of 75 SNP from the reference population with 50K chip data were significant (P < 0.001) for RFI, with a false discovery rate of 68%. These 75 SNP were mapped on 24 different BTA. Of the 75 SNP, the 9 most significant SNP were detected on BTA 3, 5, 7, and 8, with P ≤ 6.0 × 10(-5). In a population of Angus cattle divergently selected for high and low RFI and 10K chip data, 111 SNP were significantly (P < 0.001) associated with RFI, with a false discovery rate of 7%. Approximately 103 of these SNP were therefore likely to represent true positives. Because of the small number of SNP common to both the 10K and 50K SNP chips, only 27 SNP were significantly (P < 0.05) associated with RFI in the 2 populations. However, other chromosome regions were found that contained SNP significantly associated with RFI in both data sets, although no SNP within the region showed a consistent effect on RFI. The SNP effects were consistent between data sets only when estimated within the same breed type.

TL;DR: In this article, a tensile test was performed on three-dimensional (3D) orthogonal, normal layered interlock, and offset layered inter-lock woven fiber architectures.
Abstract: Tensile tests were performed on glass reinforced polymer (GRP) composites with three-dimensional (3D) orthogonal, normal layered interlock, and offset layered interlock woven fibre architectures. The mechanical properties and failure mechanisms under tensile loading were similar for the three composites. Cracks formed at low strains within the resin-rich channels between the fibre tows and around the through-thickness binder yarns in the composites, although this damage did not alter the tensile properties. At higher applied tensile stresses the elastic modulus was reduced by 20–30% due to inelastic tow straightening and cracking around the most heavily crimped in-plane tows. Further softening occurred at higher strains by inelastic straightening of all the tows. Composite failure occurred within a localised region and the discrete tow rupture events that have caused tow lock-up and pullout mechanisms in other 3D woven composites were not observed.

TL;DR: Improvements in N availability and Penetrometer resistance during the growth of the subsequent cotton crop increased in the order faba bean, lablab, field pea, wheat, cotton, and soybean, while soil strength was generally lower following most legume crops than non-legume rotation crops.

TL;DR: Dissolved organic N leachates from formulated feed and faeces are likely to have a significant impact on water quality in shrimp ponds, both by the accumulation of DON, and stimulation of the growth of the microbial community.
