A marked effect of water snails on small crustaceans. [Translation from: Anz.Ost.Akad.Wiss 10, 95-99, 1952. ]
Cases of mutual exclusion of two species of organisms in nature are known in large numbers. In the majority, they make different demands on the environ- ment which makes co-occurrence impossible. Less frequent are those cases in which a definite activity of one species prevents the occurrence of the other in the same region. An experiment was carried out n order to establish if Chydorus sphaericus can co-occur with water-snails. It emerged that a substance soluble in water which is given off by snails is responsible for the negative effect on small crustacea
Mean Field Phase Diagram of SU(2)xSU(2) Lattice Higgs-Yukawa Model at Finite Lambda
The phase diagram of an SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R lattice Higgs-Yukawa model with
finite lambda is constructed using mean field theory. The phase diagram bears a
superficial resemblance to that for infinite lambda, however as lambda is
decreased the paramagnetic region shrinks in size. For small lambda the phase
transitions remain second order, and no new first order transitions are seen.Comment: 9 pages, 3 postscript figures, RevTex. To appear in PR
