description: We present a stochastic method for the calculation of baryon three-point functions that is more versatile compared to the typically used sequential method. We analyze the scaling of the error of the stochastically evaluated three-point function with the lattice volume and find a favorable signal-to-noise ratio suggesting that our stochastic method can be used efficiently at large volumes to compute hadronic matrix elements.

description: We present an implementation of a new method for explicit simulations of time-dependent electric currents through nanojunctions. The method is based on unitary propagation of stroboscopic wave packet states and is designed to treat open systems with fluctuating number of electrons while preserving full quantum coherence throughout the whole infinite system. We demonstrate the performance of the method on a model system consisting of a ring-shaped nanojunction with two semi-infinite tight-binding leads. Time-dependent electron current responses to abrupt bias turn-on or gate potential switching are computed for several ring configurations and ring-leads coupling parameters. The found current-carrying stationary states agree well with the predictions of the Landauer formula. As examples of genuinely time-dependent process we explore the presence of circulating currents in the rings in transient regimes and the effect of a time-dependent gate potential.

Development of a simulation tool for analysis of freeway crashes due to cell phone usage
Creators: name: Sriom, Sourabh
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2011

description: Research shows that drivers are susceptible to numerous distractions while driving which can be held responsible as the reason of a crash. Usage of cell phones, i.e. talking or texting while driving is considered one of the prominent distractions which causes a crash. This dissertation aims to study the number of crashes occurring on the freeways and their relation with the drivers of these cars using cell phones while they are driving. Since crashes occur relatively less frequently, the study of crashes is done using what is called the "rare event" theory. Java based simulations are done to model a six lane freeway. The cars travelling on the freeway are assigned probabilities of having and using a cell phone. This in turn leads to a probability of getting distracted and changing their normal behaviour which may or may not cause a crash. A Life table is constructed using the data observed for 24 hours and using the techniques described in the thesis, it is analysed to see which rare event probabilistic model it fits into.

description: We study the motion of a ferromagnetic helical nanostructure under the action of a rotating magnetic field. A variety of dynamical configurations were observed that depended strongly on the direction of magnetization and the geometrical parameters, which were also confirmed by a theoretical model, based on the dynamics of a rigid body under Stokes flow. Although motion at low Reynolds numbers is typically deterministic, under certain experimental conditions, the nanostructures showed a surprising bistable behavior, such that the dynamics switched randomly between two configurations, possibly induced by thermal fluctuations. The experimental observations and the theoretical results presented in this letter are general enough to be applicable to any system of ellipsoidal symmetry under external force or torque.

Surficial geology of the Las Vegas quadrangle, Nevada
Creators: name: Price, Charles Edgar
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 1966

description: The Las Vegas 15-minute quadrangle, located in the south part of the state of Nevada, includes about 240 square miles in and around the city of Las Vegas; it is in the basin and range province. The quadrangle includes a broad valley floor that was once a lake bottom, a bordering area of badlands and rolling hills developed in Tertiary and Quaternary deposits, an outer marginal area of alluvial fans, and the surrounding mountains.
The mountains constitute about three per cent of the total land surface and are composed of rock ranging in are from Precambrian to Tertiary. The remainder of the area is underlain with Pliocene(?), Pleistocene, and Recent "unconsolidated" sediments. The lowermost of these deposits is the Pliocene(?) Muddy Creek Formation which is composed largely of sand and silt with some clay, gravel, and evaporites. Much of the sand and silt is indurated to form caliche. A fanglomerate of Pleistocene(?) are is the oldest unit exposed above the Muddy Creek Formation.
In late Pleistocene time a deep lake occupied Las Vegas Valley. According to C.V. Haynes (1965), beds deposited by this lake have yielded radiocarbon dates ranging from 35,000 B.P. to 15,000 B.P. C.R. Longwell and others have named these beds the Las Vegas Formation. The youngest deposits in the area are very late Pleistocene and Recent gravels and eolian sand.
Several prominent escarpments are seen on the surface of the Las Vegas and Muddy Creek Formations. These scarps apparently are of either fault or wave-cut origin or perhaps were formed by a combination of faulting and erosion. evidence available at the present time does not conclusively prove their origin.
Sand and gravel for construction use is obtained from eolian sand and Recent alluvium. Building foundation conditions are, in general, very good, but local problems are created by expansive soil and sulfate salts. The area 's water supply is derived almost entirely from wells. The Las Vegas valley floor has subsided more than two feet during the past 20 years, and since 1960 localized fissuring of the land surface has occurred. Malmberg (1964) presented evidence which indicates that these land movements are due to the withdrawal of ground water.

description: We highlight the existence of a joint probability distribution as the common underpinning assumption behind Bell-type, contextuality, and Leggett-Garg-type tests. We then present a procedure to translate contextual scenarios into temporal Leggett-Garg-type and spatial Bell-type ones. To demonstrate the generality of this approach we construct a family of spatial Bell-type inequalities. We show that in Leggett-Garg scenario a necessary condition for contextuality in time is given by a violation of consistency conditions in Consistent Histories approach to quantum mechanics.

Year: 2012

description: Outsourcing has become increasingly popular to the public since the mid-20th century and has become more controversial in the last decade. The United States economy has been under the microscope for the last 4 years due to an economic recession. Outsourcing has been a subject of interest that has been brought up numerous times by economists. Offshore outsourcing is the main type of outsourcing that is of concern in relation to the United States economy. This topic is highly debated because of the unemployment rate in America.

description: We present a stacking method that makes use of co-added maps of gamma-ray counts produced from data taken with the Fermi Large Area Telescope. Sources with low integrated gamma-ray fluxes that are not detected individually may become detectable when their corresponding count maps are added. The combined data set is analyzed with a maximum likelihood method taking into account the contribution from point-like and diffuse background sources. For both simulated and real data, detection significance and integrated gamma-ray flux are investigated for different numbers of stacked sources using the public Fermi Science Tools for analysis and data preparation. The co-adding is done such that potential source signals add constructively, in contrast to the signals from background sources, which allows the stacked data to be described with simply structured models. We show, for different scenarios, that the stacking method can be used to increase the cumulative significance of a sample of sources and to characterize the corresponding gamma-ray emission. The method can, for instance, help to search for gamma-ray emission from galaxy clusters.

Medical Tourism: Trends and Opportunities
Creators: name: Wendt, Krista
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: Medical tourism involves travel for the purpose of receiving medical, dental, or surgical care (Medical Tourism Association), and represents a rapidly growing niche market within the healthcare, tourism, and hospitality industries. Medical travelers are motivated to seek care outside of their area of residence by many factors, including more advanced technology, quicker access, higher quality of care, or lower costs for care in the destination locality (Ehrbeck, Guevara, & Mango, 2008). Multiple factors contribute to the growth of the medical tourism industry and suggest a continuing trend toward growth in the future. This nascent industry represents a significant market opportunity to entrepreneurs and investors in the healthcare, tourism, and hospitality markets. Hospitality and tourism companies, as well as local governments and destination marketers, are positioning themselves to capture share in the medical tourism market worldwide.
The purpose of this paper is to identify current trends and opportunities in the medical tourism industry, and to explore the critical success factors for medical tourism destinations and providers.
Resurgence and Trans-series in Quantum Field Theory: The CP(N-1) Model

description: This work is a step towards a non-perturbative continuum definition of quantum field theory (QFT), beginning with asymptotically free two dimensional non-linear sigma-models, using recent ideas from mathematics and QFT. The ideas from mathematics are resurgence theory, the trans-series framework, and Borel-Ecalle resummation. The ideas from QFT use continuity on R^1 x S^1_L, i.e, the absence of any phase transition as N \to infinity, or rapid-crossovers for finite-N, and the small-L weak coupling limit to render the semi-classical sector well-defined and calculable. We classify semi-classical configurations with actions 1/N (kink-instantons), 2/N (bions and bi-kinks), in units where the 2d instanton action is normalized to one. Perturbation theory possesses the IR-renormalon ambiguity that arises due to non-Borel summability of the large-orders perturbation series (of Gevrey-1 type), for which a microscopic cancellation mechanism was unknown. This divergence must be present because the corresponding expansion is on a singular Stokes ray in the complexified coupling constant plane, and the sum exhibits the Stokes phenomenon crossing the ray. We show that there is also a non-perturbative ambiguity inherent to certain neutral topological molecules (neutral bions and bion-anti-bions) in the semiclassical expansion. We find a set of "confluence equations" that encode the exact cancellation of the two different type of ambiguities. We show that a new notion of "graded resurgence triangle" is necessary to capture the path integral approach to resurgence, and that graded resurgence underlies a potentially rigorous definition of general QFTs. The mass gap and the Theta angle dependence of vacuum energy are calculated from first principles, and are in accord with large-N and lattice results.

description: The thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have traditionally been used as engineered elastomers (alone or as parts of a complex system) for various therapeutic or diagnostic procedures due to their processibility, enhanced mechanical and physicochemical properties, along with the ability to undergo large deformation. This comprehensive spotlight aims to reveal why TPEs have emerged to be a huge success in biomedical industries, undermining the popularity of the traditional crosslinked elastomers. Moreover, the narrative walks through the development of TPEs, especially in the last decade, to perceive some of the breakthroughs in the TPE industry, enabling the readers to answer why TPE is blooming significantly in biomedical sciences.

description: The non-local correlations exhibited when measuring entangled particles can be used to certify the presence of genuine randomness in Bell experiments. While non-locality is necessary for randomness certification, it is unclear when and why non-locality certifies maximal randomness. We provide here a simple argument to certify the presence of maximal local and global randomness based on symmetries of a Bell inequality and the existence of a unique quantum probability distribution that maximally violates it. Using our findings, we prove the existence of N-party Bell test attaining maximal global randomness, that is, where a combination of measurements by each party provides N perfect random bits.

description: 2',5'-Oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS) enzymes and RNase-L constitute a major effector arm of interferon (IFN)-mediated antiviral defense. OAS produces a unique oligonucleotide second messenger, 2',5'-oligoadenylate (2-5A), that binds and activates RNase-L. This pathway is down-regulated by virus- and host-encoded enzymes that degrade 2-5A. Phosphodiesterase 12 (PDE12) was the first cellular 2-5A- degrading enzyme to be purified and described at a molecular level. Inhibition of PDE12 may up-regulate the OAS/RNase-L pathway in response to viral infection resulting in increased resistance to a variety of viral pathogens. We generated a PDE12-null cell line, HeLaΔPDE12, using transcription activator-like effector nuclease-mediated gene inactivation. This cell line has increased 2-5A levels in response to IFN and poly(I-C), a double-stranded RNA mimic compared with the parental cell line. Moreover, HeLaΔPDE12 cells were resistant to viral pathogens, including encephalomyocarditis virus, human rhinovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus. Based on these results, we used DNA-encoded chemical library screening to identify starting points for inhibitor lead optimization. Compounds derived from this effort raise 2-5A levels and exhibit antiviral activity comparable with the effects observed with PDE12 gene inactivation. The crystal structure of PDE12 complexed with an inhibitor was solved providing insights into the structure-activity relationships of inhibitor potency and selectivity.

description:
American archives are currently in a state of under-utilization and change must occur in order for them to survive the twenty-first century. The archives hold information that can be used for teaching research methods, honing critical thinking skills, and fostering a greater understanding of our past. Recent literature in the fields of education and archives suggest increased interest the integration of primary sources into K-12 curriculum, yet there are intellectual gaps left unfilled. Research indicates that both teachers and students are lacking sufficient knowledge pertaining to the proper use and understanding of primary sources. Archivists have an opportunity to promote archives and increase quality scholarship thorough the use of primary sources in K-12 education. This thesis provides resources for connecting current curriculum standards in the state of Washington, and resources from local, state, and national archives. The goal is to demonstrate the broad applicability of archives in the classroom and highlight the scholarly skills that can be developed though the use of primary sources.

Genius of SPACE

description: The Genius of SPACE (Systems for People’s Access to a Clean Environment) was a pilot project aimed to apply nature-based solutions (NBS) to treat and manage wastewater and greywater entering the stormwater system, as well as the management of solid waste while empowering local community members, improving living conditions and promoting social upliftment. Langrug, South Africa, is a relatively recently formed and continuously growing informal settlement (slum), where wastewater and solid waste accumulate in the streets due to lack of service provision, sewerage and surface hardening, leading to localised flooding, disease risk and associated health issues. The Stiebeuel River drains the Langrug Catchment (about 4.37 sq.km.) and enters the Berg River, an important agricultural river for the Western Cape (predominantly winter wheat, vineyards and fruit) entering the sea at the Velddrif Estuary (St Helena Bay), supporting im-portant fisheries. Therefore the eutrophication and pollution of the Berg River causes issues for agriculture downstream, which is particularly important in terms of the stringent growing and import standards of overseas trading partners. The NBS involved installation of 27 greywater disposal points, underground wastewater pipes, permeable paving, grading and pavement construction and 15 tree gardens for water infiltration. The aim of this case study is to evaluate the results of the “Genius of Space” project as a NBS that aims to reduce local and down-stream pollution impacts in the informal peri-urban area of Langrug and thus focuses on water quality. The study explores results related to the three di-mensions of sustainability, namely, social, econom-ic and environmental and aims to take a systematic perspective on water-related NBS, particularly focussing on resilience, adaptation, complexity, and uncertainty for various peri-urban contexts.

Subjects: Allium--Identification

description: Allium have a long history of use. Leeks, onions, garlic are some of members of Allium, and Alliums are also used as ornamental plants. This study focused on (1) the phenotypic evaluation of ornamental Alliums and (2) the identification of unknown Alliums spp., with potential ornamental value, using DNA barcoding. The Alliums studied were from the USDA collection held by the Western Regional Plant Introduction Station. For evaluation of ornamental Alliums, the morphological features of 14 ornamental Allium accessions were measured at flowering in the field. To be considered for use as a cut flower, an accession's scape should be longer than 60 cm. Twelve of 14 ornamental Alliums measured in the field met this criterion. The umbel diameter ranged from 0.3 cm to 14.4 cm, and six different flower colors were observed: purple, yellow, cream, mix, blue and white. Species determination was proposed for 16 of unknown Allium accessions using the DNA barcode gene ITS. Five of these accessions with good ornamental characteristics, ITS regions were genetically identified to species A. cretaceum (W6 26738, W6 23154), A. elegans (W6 23371), A. senescens (W6 1435), A. atroviolaceum (W6 17165). These accessions should be further studied morphologically to confirm these species identifications. ITS sequence will be useful for the preliminary identification of unknown Allium species in plant genetic resource collections.

The reversed dynamics obtained via optimal control --contrary to standard time-reversal procedures-- is extremely robust to external sources of noise. We provide a lower bound on the control complexity of a many-body quantum dynamics in terms of the dimension of the manifold supporting it, elucidating the role played by integrability in this context.

description: We study the possible detection of and properties of very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission (in the energy band above 100 GeV) from high redshift sources. We report on the detection of VHE gamma-ray flux from blazars with redshifts z>0.5. We use the data of Fermi telescope in the energy band above 100 GeV and identify significant sources via cross-correlation of arrival directions of individual VHE gamma-rays with the positions of known Fermi sources. There are thirteen high-redshift sources detected in the VHE band by Fermi/LAT telescope. The present statistics of the Fermi signal from these sources is too low for a sensible study of the effects of suppression of the VHE flux by pair production through interactions with Extragalactic Background Light photons. We find that the detection of these sources with ground-based gamma-ray telescopes would be challenging. However, several sources including BL Lacs PKS 0426-380 at z=1.11, KUV 00311-1938 at z=0.61, B3 1307+433 at z=0.69, PG 1246+586 at z=0.84, Ton 116 at z=1.065 as well as a flat-spectrum radio quasar 4C +55.17 at z=0.89 should be detectable by HESS-II, MAGIC-II and CTA. A high-statistics study of a much larger number of VHE gamma-ray sources at cosmological distances would be possible with the proposed high-altitude Cherenkov telescope 5@5.

description: Auf den Punkt ...
Neben den rund 350 Arbeitsgemeinschaften und den 69 optierenden Kommunen gibt es derzeit 23 kommunale Einheiten, in denen Arbeitsagenturen und Kommunen diese Aufgaben getrennt erfüllen.
Die Aufgabenzuweisung durch das SGB II erzwingt auch bei getrennter Aufgabenwahrnehmung (GAW) eine Zusammenarbeit. In der überwiegenden Zahl der Fälle ist man um eine enge Kooperation bemüht - bindende Vereinbarungen darüber werden jedoch vermieden.
Angesichts der (bundes-)politischen Unsicherheit über die Zukunft der Aufgabenwahrnehmung bildet die GAW ein politisch umkämpftes Feld. Die Akteure der GAW versuchen, die eigene Ausgangsposition für eine etwaige Zeit danach zu optimieren. Neben der notwendigen Kooperation gibt es daher gleichzeitig auch Konkurrenz.
Auch die beste Kooperation ändert nichts daran, dass getrennte, aber leistungsrechtlich wechselseitig voneinander abhängige Bescheide erstellt werden müssen. Ein automatisierter Datenabgleich oder -austausch ist bisher technisch nicht möglich.
Für die Leistungsbezieherinnen und -bezieher hält sich der Wege-Aufwand zum Besuch zweier Anlaufstellen in Grenzen, da i.d.R. beide nahe beieinanderliegen. Die Dienststellen sind jedoch nirgends räumlich integriert, so dass ein Austausch von kommunalen und Agentur-Mitarbeitern "über den Flur" nicht möglich ist. Der Datenaustausch erfolgt auf dem Papierwege und ist zeitintensiv und fehlerträchtig.
Das ursprüngliche Versprechen der Hartz-Reformen, ganzheitliche Dienstleistungen aus einer Hand zu erbringen, kann in der getrennten Aufgabenwahrnehmung nicht eingelöst werden. Wenn die Politik sich nicht auf eine dauerhafte Nachfolgelösung für die Arbeitsgemeinschaften einigen kann, wird das "Nebeneinander von Arbeits- und Sozialamt" mehr als zwanzig Mal so viele Menschen betreffen wie vor der Reform.

Social Media Helps Small Businesses
Creators: name: Oxborrow, Nicholas J.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: Beemer and Shook (2009) explain that developing customers one at a time is the only way. There are no short cuts to this. Traditionally, a small business would develop their relationships by going from door-to-door to raise awareness and grow their brand. How fast they achieved this depended on the budget and time available to their business. Traditionally, large businesses had the power of reaching their markets through huge advertising budget, which small companies could not match.
In todays business environment, social media has become a new marketing tool that is available to all businesses, that instantly develops relationships with potential customers. Social media does not require huge budgets or time investment. Small businesses can leverage social media to penetrate their markets, reach their customers and develop relationships in a personal and direct manner that can catapult their brand and raise their awareness as successfully as any large business. Social media enables a small business to reach a large and potentially global audience in a very short period of time with relatively little energy. This has opened a whole new opportunity to the way a small business can develop its awareness and marketing activities. An effective social media campaign is able to develop relationships by communicating positive images and dialogue about a brand.
The purpose of this paper is to develop a social media-marketing plan for an online floral company in Singapore.
Dank dem «Lebenslangen Lernen» die Entgliederung aus dem Arbeitsmarkt verhindern. Arbeitnehmer:innen und Arbeitgeber:innen haben ein gemeinsames Interesse daran.
Creators: name: Rösch, Markus
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Die Arbeitswelt 4.0 und die digitale Transformation stellen neue Anforderungen an Arbeitnehmer:innen. Die Veränderungsdynamiken im Arbeitsmarkt steigen – insbesondere durch die Digitalisierung. Arbeitnehmer:innen müssen sich in immer kürzeren zeitlichen Abständen neues Wissen aneignen, damit sie sich ihre Arbeitsmarktfähigkeit erhalten können. Das Konzept des Lebenslangen Lernens gewinnt somit an Bedeutung. Diese Arbeit geht primär der Frage nach, welche Schlüsselkompetenzen müssen Arbeitnehmer:innen entwickeln, damit sie auf die Veränderungen im Arbeitsmarkt reagieren und das Lebenslange Lernen verinnerlichen können. In einem zweiten Schritt will diese Arbeit aufzeigen, wie Arbeitgeber:innen die Arbeitnehmer:innen beim Entwickeln dieser Schlüsselkompetenzen begleiten und unterstützen können. Aus der Perspektive der Arbeitsintegration will diese Arbeit Mittel und Wege sichtbar machen, wie Arbeitnehmer:innen und Arbeitgeber:innen gemeinsam das Lebenslange Lernen in ihren Arbeitsalltag integrieren und die Arbeitsmarktfähigkeit der Arbeitnehmer:innen in der Arbeitswelt 4.0 erhalten können. Die Arbeit will ein Vorgehen vorstellen, dass der Entgliederung von Arbeitnehmer:innen aus dem Arbeitsmarkt vorbeugt. Ein Fragebogen dient als Basis dieser Arbeit. Der Fragebogen ist nach den drei in der Arbeitswelt 4.0 aufgeführten Dimensionen People, Place und Technology geordnet und fragt gezielt nach dem Bedarf der Schlüsselkompetenzen bei den Arbeitnehmer:innen. Die Fragen richteten sich an Arbeitgeber:innen in der freien Marktwirtschaft, an Arbeitgeber:innen, die in der Arbeitsintegration tätig sind, sowie an drei Fachexperten, -innen. Im Kapitel 1 bis 6 werden Theorien zum Arbeitsthema erläutert (Theorieebene), im Kapitel 7 sind die Ergebnisse der Umfrage vorgestellt (empirische Ebene) und die Frage 1 der Fragestellung wird an dieser Stelle beantwortet. Im Kapitel 8 bis 12 werden Lösungen angeboten (Lösungsebene), die sich auf die Frage 2 der Fragestellung beziehen.

description: We study the action of the formal affine Hecke algebra on the formal group algebra, and show that the the formal affine Hecke algebra has a basis indexed by the Weyl group as a module over the formal group algebra. We also define a concept called the normal formal group law, which we use to simplify the relations of the generators of the formal affine Demazure algebra and the formal affine Hecke algebra.

Exploration for Human Capital: Evidence from the MBA Labor Market
Creators: name: Oyer, Paul
name: Kuhnen, Camelia M.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: We empirically investigate the effect of uncertainty on corporate hiring. Using novel data from the labor market for MBA graduates, we show that uncertainty regarding how well job candidates fit with a firm's industry hinders hiring and that firms value probationary work arrangements that provide the option to learn more about potential full-time employees. The detrimental effect of uncertainty on hiring is more pronounced when firms face greater firing and replacement costs and when they face less direct competition from other similar firms. These results suggest that firms faced with uncertainty use similar considerations when making hiring decisions as when making decisions regarding investment in physical capital.

description: We report the design of nonreciprocal resonant transmission/reflection using a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) adjacent to the magneto-optical (MO) metal film. The nonreciprocal surface modes are found at the interface between the PC and MO metal within the forbidden band of native PC structure. Breaking time-reversal symmetry using external magnetic field gives rise of such unique nonreciprocal properties. Quantitatively understanding of nonreciprocal resonant optical transmission/reflection behavior is performed using an effective admittance-matching theory. With excitation of the nonreciprocal surface modes, light can transmit and be reflected in one-way. Such design offers promising potential in realizing the optical diode.

description: Variable climatic conditions strongly influence phytoplankton dynamics in estuaries globally. Our study area is Chesapeake Bay, a highly productive ecosystem providing natural resources, transportation, and recreation for nearly 16 million people inhabiting a 165,000-km2 watershed. Since World War II, nutrient over-enrichment has led to multiple ecosystem impairments caused by increased phytoplankton biomass as chlorophyll-a (chl-a). Doubled nitrogen (N) loadings from 1945–1980 led to increased chl-a, reduced water clarity, and low dissolved oxygen (DO), while decreased N loadings from 1981–2012 suggest modest improvement. The recent 30+ years are characterized by high inter-annual variability of chl-a, coinciding with irregular dry and wet periods, complicating the detection of long-term trends. Here, we synthesize time-series data for historical and recent N loadings (TN, NO2 + NO3), chl-a, floral composition, and net primary productivity (NPP) to distinguish secular changes caused by nutrient over-enrichment from spatio-temporal variability imposed by climatic conditions. Wet years showed higher chl-a, higher diatom abundance, and increased NPP, while dry years showed lower chl-a, lower diatom abundance, and decreased NPP. Our findings support a conceptual model wherein variable climatic conditions dominate recent phytoplankton dynamics against a backdrop of nutrient over-enrichment, emphasizing the need to separate these effects to gauge progress toward improving water quality in estuaries.
