Factors determining growth and vertical distribution of planktonic algae in extremely acidic mining lakes (pH 2.7)
Die vorliegende Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit den Faktoren, die das Wachstum und die Vertikalverteilung von Planktonalgen in extrem sauren Tagebaurestseen (TBS; pH 2-3) beeinflussen. Im exemplarisch untersuchten TBS 111 (pH 2.7; Lausitzer Revier) dominiert die Goldalge Ochromonas sp. in oberen …

Sensitivity Study on Modification of Vertical Distribution of Strength and Stiffness in Wood Shear Wall Building Models
… story on seismic response. In this study, four distributions of strength are used as bounding cases. The Parabolic strength distribution (1) results from the ELF vertical force distribution method in ASCE 7 that assigns forces to each level based on weight and story height. The Triangular …

Exploring physical, biological, and behavioral processes that affect larval fish distribution in the pelagic zone of Lake Michigan
… in biotic and abiotic conditions along a vertical gradient, the vertical distribution of larval fish can profoundly affect their growth and survival. In large systems such as the Great Lakes, vertical distribution patterns can also influence dispersal and ultimately settlement events. …

Responses of Boom-Forming Phytoplankton Populations to Changes in Reservoir Chemistry and Physics
… exhibit high horizontal (inflow to dam) and vertical (surface to sediments) environmental heterogeneity, which plays a large role in determining phytoplankton population dynamics. In this thesis, I explore how three bloom-forming phytoplankton taxa, the dinoflagellates Peridinium and …
