Ten genera of cyanophytes and 73 genera of algae were found in the guts of Aedes, Culex, Anopheles and Culiseta larvae collected in various breeding places of the Elbe-Lowland (Bohemia) and Prague. The quality and quantity of blue-green algae and algae found in mosquito guts depended on their presence in the water of mosquito breeding places and on the feeding type (filter fieders, scrapers) of mosquito larvae. Chlorophycean algae possesing cell wall with sporopollenin and algae with a mucilagenous (jelly) envelope appeared undamaged by the digestive process. Also spores and resting stages tended to pass undamaged through the larval intestine tract.
DAPI fluorescent staining was used to record cytomorphological changes in cyanophytes during the process of digestion by some mosquito larvae. Control cells were red due to fluorescence of chlorophyll and DNA structures (nucleoids) stained with DAPI emitted strong bluish light. Morphology of Cyanothece, Cyanobacterium, Merismopedia, and all Synechococcus strains dramatically changed along the gut. In the foregut, cells did not apparently differ from control. In the hindgut however, no chlorophyll fluorescence was observed, cells exhibited weakly bluish or yellowish fluorescence (typical for dead cells) and no DNA material or polyphosphate granules were observed. However the cells were not apparently broken (except of Cyanothece). The sequence of degradation of the material was chlorophyll, polyphosphate granules and DNA structures. In the strains of Arthrospira, Chroococcus, Microcystis and both Synechocystis strains no fundamental morphological differences were observed among the cells located in fore- and hindgut.
Two methods (new miniaturized method according to TNV 757741 and standard method were compared. The new method was found comparable with several advantages. The older method can be replaced by the new one without problems or both of them can be used for the same purpose.
Interlaboratory comparison method for identification of cyanobacteria is proposed. Formalin preserved samples of water blooms or samples collected with plankton net were determined using light microscope. The correct identification of dominant species in each sample was evaluated according to the simple point system. Advantages and disadvantages of this method are summarized.
The article focuses on statistical evaluation of algal bioassays. Statistical determination of EC50 and determination of low effect concentration is a very important part of presentation of ecotoxicological experiments. The question is, what is NOEC and LOEC in algal bioassay. The paper discusses the question how large difference between the sample and control algal growth should be considered as important. How large differences of algal growth in comparison to control means there is no important difference?
The investigation is aimed at re-cultivation in the area of the Krušné Hory (Krušné Mountains) in the Czech Republic. In this area, mainly in the town of Most region, there are many coal mines. The re-cultivation by inundation has been used since 1998. In this paper, the toxicity of the Bílina River profile is evaluated and the possible influence of water and sediment quality on biological revival is assessed. Three types of samples were tested - water from the river profile, black mud with oil products odour and sand from the stream center line. These samples were tested by standard acute toxicity tests on green alga Scenedesmus quadricauda strain Greifswald 15, seeds of Sinapis alba and small crustaceans Daphnia magna strain Straus. The acute toxicity bioassays on Daphnia magna did not exhibit any signs of toxicity and it was recommended to use chronic tests on this organism. Also, no inhibitory effects on the growth of Sinapis alba roots were found. A high growth inhibition of the alga Scenedesmus quadricauda was found. In the culture of Scenedesmus quadricauda teratological formations occured.
Der letzte Tag des Liveblogs vom Kongress der Deutschen Vereinigung für Politische Wissenschaft unter dem Oberthema „Vorsicht Sicherheit! Legitimationsprobleme der Ordnung von Freiheit“ bricht an. Das Programm wird heute kürzer sein. Auch am Vormittag gibt es Panels, am Nachmittag sowohl Panels als auch Arbeitskreise...
The structure of the 1:2 co-crystalline adduct C8H16N4·2C6H5BrO, (I), from the solid-state reaction of 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane (TATD) and 4-bromophenol, has been determined. The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystalline adduct comprises a half molecule of aminal cage polyamine plus a 4-bromophenol molecule. A twofold rotation axis generates the other half of the adduct. The primary inter-species association in the title compound is through two intermolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, the adducts are linked by weak non-conventional C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, giving a two-dimensional supramolecular structure parallel to the bc plane.
CfP: IB-Nachwuchstagung 2016
(2015)
Im April nächsten Jahres findet in Tutzing die IB-Nachwuchstagung unter dem Thema „Sicherheit, Wirtschaft, Gesellschaft: Theorien und Problemfelder internationaler Politik“ statt. Bis zum 1. Oktober können hierfür noch Abstracts eingereicht werden, über die in einem anonymen Begutachtungsverfahren entschieden wird...
Using religious frameworks in political contestation and mobilisation processes has become more eminent in recent decades spiralling an intricate debate on the conceptualisation and implementation of such references in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region The contradiction, it is argued, mainly lies in the compromising nature of politics and the relatively dogmatic nature of religion. Accentuated by inaccurate media coverage and primordial analytical frameworks, it has become tempting to see religion as responsible for conflicts and underachievement in the MENA region...
Es war nur eine Fußnote in der deutschen Medienlandschaft: Die USA, genau genommen deren Wirtschafts- und Handelsministerium, verlängern den Vertrag mit ICANN über die Ausübung der IANA-Funktionen. Es hätte mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient, denn hinter dieser kleinen Meldung verbirgt sich ein Kampf um die zukünftige Kontrolle des Internets...
Vor knapp zwei Wochen riss das Bangkok-Attentat am Erawan-Schrein 22 Menschen in den Tod und versetzte Thailands Hauptstadt in einen Schockzustand. Nach offiziellen Medien-Informationen vermuten Analysten ein Netzwerk hinter dem Anschlag. Diese Spekulationen konzentrieren sich besonders auf Regierungsgegner der sogenannten „Gelbhemden“ und „Rothemden“ oder muslimische Minderheiten...
When the Iranian revolution embarked against Muhammad Reza Shah’s regime in the late 70s, it wasn’t a social revolution aiming at changing the society, but rather a political one with legitimate demands similar to what Syrians once were looking forward to achieve in 2011. When all this started in Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the most central and inspirational figure in the Iranian revolution was still in exile. This is a story that happened 35 years ago and we cannot but see the rhyming of its events with the current Syrian imbroglio...
Durch das entschlossene und überaus mutige Eingreifen mehrerer Passagiere konnte am 21. August 2015 an Bord des Thalys-Schnellzuges von Amsterdam nach Paris ein mutmaßlich jihadistisch motivierter Attentäter daran gehindert werden, zahlreiche Menschen zu ermorden. Wäre der Täter nicht gehindert worden, hätte er, bewaffnet mit einem Sturmgewehr, einer Pistole und einem Messer, dutzende Opfer finden können...
