We tested the hypothesis that a clear-water period, regularly observed in many mesoand eutrophic lakes, is caused by grazing herbivorous zooplankton. Such a clear-water phase occurs during mid-May in the moderately eutrophic Schiihsee and involves a rapid increase in Secchi transparency, and a drop in chlorophyll and particulate organic carbon in size fractions ~35 Nm. Maxima of zooplankton bio...

trust, along with transparency, is an important indicator of a satisfactory relationship between a government and the public. considering transparency as the key to trust in government, the purpose of this paper is to postulate a link between transparency and trust taking into account satisfaction as a psychological factor. this paper tries to find the answer of these questions: “is there any s...

There is a growing class of elementary particle detectors ("Large Water Cerenkov Detectors") which have a body of water (thousands of tons) as a sensitive medium. Particles are detected when they interact with the water and produce Cerenkov light, so detection efficiency relies on the transparency of the water. These detectors are active typically for many years and so biological activity is on...

Superoleophobic thin films have many potential applications including fluid transfer, fluid power systems, stain resistant and antifouling materials, and microfluidics among others. Transparency is also desired with superhydrophobicity for their numerous applications; however transparency and oleophobicity are almost incompatible relationship with each other in the point of surface structure. B...

Corneal hydration and transparency still present multiple dilemmas to the inquiring investigator. Transparency is best explained by the oriented-lattice theory of Maurice, but, except for partly adequate electron micrographs, there is no objective evidence for the presence of such a lattice. Further, other transparent ocular structures are not constructed in this way. Relative dehydration and h...

this research intends to investigate the relationship between financial information transparency and investor behavior in tse, in order to provide safety trade and improve performance of the financial market in iran. in last decade transparency of the financial market has been known as one of the most effective variables in determining investor strategy. this study examines perception of transp...

in this research, cellulose-silk composites production in liquid phase was studied. in this respect,bmimcl ionic liquid was synthesized in the laboratory and was used for dissolution purpose. afterdissolution of the biopolymers and mixing them in the liquid phase, obtained suspension was spread ina petri dish. then, the composite gel was washed with running methanol to remove the il, cellulosea...

This research examined human preference for water and a key aspect of water, its reflection. We compared responses to reflection in water versus reflection in glass and responses to reflection versus transparency. Sixty respondents rated the attractiveness of four scale-models varied on those dimensions. High inter-item reliability across the rating scales called for their combination into a co...

Owing to its low cost and good transparency, highly purified water is widely used as a medium in large water Cerenkov detector experiments. The water circulation and purification system is usually needed to keep the water in good quality. In this work, a practical circulation model is built to describe the variation of the water resistivity in the circulation process and compared with the data ...

in view of the importance environmental pollution caused by plastic food packaging, in recent years there is a considerable interest in edible films and coating based on polysaccharides, proteins, lipids or combination of them. edible coatings also serve as carriers of food additives such as anti-browning and antimicrobials agents, colorants, flavor, nutrients and spices, so act as active packa...
