چکیده
The invasion of zebra mussels (Dreisenna polymorpha) has had a tremendous impact on lake habitats ever since their arrival in 1986 (O’Neill 1994). They live on the hard surfaces in the lake, which includes native mussels (unionids) and rocks. Within this study, we examined surface preferences of zebra mussels by looking at living and dead native mussel shells and rocks. We constructed a plot area on the South Fishtail Bay area of Douglas Lake and counted the number of zebra mussels we found on both living and dead unionids. After the removal of these zebra mussels, we waited seven days for recolonization to occur and recounted the number of zebra mussels that were present upon the unionids shells and a transect of rocks that were placed in the water. After collecting this data, we found there to be no preference between the three surfaces we studied. However, by examining our plot data, we discovered the recolonization rate of zebra mussels, which is approximately 0.074 zebra mussels per native mussel per day. This data shows there is a possibility of creating a refuge for native mussels along the Douglas Lake shoreline by removing the zebra mussels every three months.

Amphiphilic Block Copolymer Nano-micelles: Effect of Length Ratio of the Hydrophilic Block
Block copolymer nano-micelles are especially important in cancer treatment because of their fine dimensions. In this article, three systems of amphiphilic copolymers with similar lengths and different ratios of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic chains are studied using implicit-solvent coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations. The factor fphil is defined as the ratio of the number...

متن کاملImproving the Stability and Accuracy of Power Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation Using Virtual Impedance Method
Abstract: Power hardware-in-the-loop (PHIL) systems are advanced, real-time platforms for combined software and hardware testing. Two paramount issues in PHIL simulations are the closed-loop stability and simulation accuracy. This paper presents a virtual impedance (VI) method for PHIL simulations that improves the simulation’s stability and accuracy. Through the establishment of an impedance m...
