Abandoning Sverdrup's Critical Depth Hypothesis on phytoplankton blooms.
The Critical Depth Hypothesis formalized by Sverdrup in 1953 posits that vernal phytoplankton blooms occur when surface mixing shoals to a depth shallower than a critical depth horizon defining the point where phytoplankton growth exceeds losses. This hypothesis has since served as a cornerstone in plankton ecology and reflects the very common assumption that blooms are caused by enhanced growt...
متن کاملRevisiting the Dynamical Hypothesis
" There is a familiar trio of reactions by scientists to a purportedly radical hypothesis: (a) " You must be our of your mind! " , (b) " What else is new? Everybody knows that! " , and, later—if the hypothesis is still standing—(c) " Hmm. You might be on to something! " ((Dennett, 1995) p. 283)

The stealth trading hypothesis (STH) states that informed traders concentrate their trades on medium sizes to conceal their information. Supporting empirical evidence for the NYSE case is considerable. In this paper, we question several methodological aspects of previous studies to provide new insights. We show that the STH cannot be rejected under alternative definitions of the trade-size cuto...
متن کاملRevisiting the Legal Restrictions Hypothesis∗
This paper re-examines the so-called coexistence puzzle in terms of a modified version of the legal restrictions hypothesis initially put forth by Bryant and Wallace (1980). The modification is in terms of dropping a questionable assumption in the original hypothesis; i.e., that large denomination government bonds cannot be intermediated by private banks. This restriction is replaced by one tha...
متن کاملRevisiting the Continuum Hypothesis: Toward an In-Depth Exploration of Executive Functions in Korsakoff Syndrome
Korsakoff syndrome (KS) is a neurological state mostly caused by alcohol-dependence and leading to disproportionate episodic memory deficits. KS patients present more severe anterograde amnesia than Alcohol-Dependent Subjects (ADS), which led to the continuum hypothesis postulating a progressive increase in brain and cognitive damages during the evolution from ADS to KS. This hypothesis has bee...
