Effectiviteit van herstelbeheer in vennen en duinplassen op de middellange termijn

Al sinds het opstarten van de regeling OBN zijn er herstelmaatregelen uitgevoerd in vennen en duinplassen. In een deel van de wateren bleek de waterkwaliteit en de vegetatie zich goed te herstellen in de eerste vijf jaren na de ingreep, maar de Fauna bleek op korte termijn overwegend negatief te reageren. Op deze korte termijn bleek vooral herstel van abiotiek en vegetatie op te treden indien zowel vermesting als eventuele verzuring werden bestreden en hernieuwde vermesting en verzuring werden voorkomen. In de praktijk betekende dit het verwijderen van sliblagen, plaggen van oevers, verwijderen van boomopslag en voorkomen van hernieuwde vermesting door o.a. bladinwaai en te grote aantallen watervogels. Verzuring kon het beste worden voorkomen door gedoseerde inlaat van voedselarm, gebufferd water of door bekalking van het inzijggebied. Na verloop van tijd bleken er nog de nodige onbeantwoorde vragen te zijn: Hoe pakken de herstelmaatregelen op de middellange termijn uit voor de levensgemeenschappen van vennen en duinplassen? Hoe reageert de fauna op de herstelmaatregelen? Hoe reageren sier- en kiezelwieren op de herstelmaatregelen? Moet het beheer worden aangepast nu de atmosferische depositie is afgenome

The 3D printing of a polymeric electrochemical cell body and its characterisation

An undivided flow cell was designed and constructed using additive manufacturing technology and its mass transport characteristics were evaluated using the reduction of ferricyanide, hexacyanoferrate (III) ions at a nickel surface. The dimensionless mass transfer correlation Sh = aRebScdLee was obtained using the convective-diffusion limiting current observed in linear sweep voltammetry; this correlation compared closely with that reported in the literature from traditionally machined plane parallel rectangular flow channel reactors. The ability of 3D printer technology, aided by computational graphics, to rapidly and conveniently design, manufacture and re-design the geometrical characteristics of the flow cell ishighlighted

Identificação de deficiências nutricionais do guaraná.

Procuraram-se evidenciar os sintomas de deficiência nutricional do guaraná. Com este objetivo, plantas de guaraná foram cultivadas em substrato de areia lavada e supridas com solução nutritiva completa (todos os nutrientes) e com soluções de um elemento omitido para teste de deficiência. Quando os sintomas foram constatados, realizou-se a documentação fotográfica e a interpretação visual das deficiências. Assim, foi possível elaborar uma chave indicadora da carência de N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Cu, Mn, Zn, Fe, B e Mo em plantas de guaraná.bitstream/item/33534/1/CPATU-CirTec13.pd

Validating silicon polytrodes with paired juxtacellular recordings: method and dataset

Cross-validating new methods for recording neural activity is necessary to accurately interpret and compare the signals they measure. Here we describe a procedure for precisely aligning two probes for in vivo “paired-recordings” such that the spiking activity of a single neuron is monitored with both a dense extracellular silicon polytrode and a juxtacellular micropipette. Our new method allows for efficient, reliable, and automated guidance of both probes to the same neural structure with micrometer resolution. We also describe a new dataset of paired-recordings, which is available online. We propose that our novel targeting system, and ever expanding cross-validation dataset, will be vital to the development of new algorithms for automatically detecting/sorting single-units, characterizing new electrode materials/designs, and resolving nagging questions regarding the origin and nature of extracellular neural signals
