ἐνθουσιασμός per una nuova didattica della filosofia
Creators: name: Barile, Stefania
Publisher: name: Materiali di Estetica. Terza serie
Year: 2019

description: I interpreted "enthusiasm" as the only divine word that immediately produces life: from pneuma it becomes a vital, planning, creative practice. And describing the attempt to translate this reflection into didactic practice, I thought that another point of view would have been (certainly more pragmatic and less theoretical) abaut the meaning of the word of God in our social world. After all, the meaning of the word of God is read in the light that illuminates the look of man in the moment in which he intuits, discovers, understands, compares, creates. It matters little whether it is an idea born of a philosophical mind or a design of a dress on a new fabric: what matters is to have that idea or that tailored project and share its vital sense with others (not for an interest personal egoistic and infertile but for the community, in a fruitful and productive way), in a book or in the window of a shop, to offer another useful resource for the renewal of society. Below is an example model of interdisciplinary teaching with a philosophical matrix on the value of enthusiasm. This project was carried out within the civic engagement laboratory Legalità come prassi (Legality as praxis), born and developed within the Giovani Pensatori (Young Thinkers) university (Insubria University) project. Fifty students and twenty professors have worked with me to put into practice what has been designed together. It was an extraordinary work of research and didactic planning.

title: Triploid Atlantic salmon: current status and future prospects
Creators: name: Benfey, Tillmann J.
Publisher: name: ASC 2009 - Theme session Q
Year: 2024
Subjects: Fisheries and aquaculture

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The concept of using induced triploidy as a means of providing sterile fish for aquaculture and fisheries management is not new, having been first suggested over 30 years ago. Triploid Atlantic salmon were first produced almost 25 years ago, and they have been evaluated in the European, North American and Australian aquaculture industries. Through this work it has been demonstrated that it is easy to mass produce triploid salmon and that, when combined with simple and proven methods for producing all-female populations, triploidy is highly effective at suppressing gonadal development in Atlantic salmon. However, aside from Tasmania, there is currently no use of triploid Atlantic salmon in commercial aquaculture. This paper will review the development of triploidy as a management tool and outline some of the limitations of triploid performance that have influenced the decisions of industry not to adopt this technology. Finally, suggestions will be made for how to approach genetic and husbandry improvements to enhance the potential of triploid Atlantic salmon in commercial culture

description: Five fragments of reliefs from Italica are deposited in several Spanish museums. They are all decorated with figures of nationes and belonged to a building that must have been built in the city in the Julio-Claudian period. Its model was the Porticus ad Nationes in Rome. The donators may have chosen that architectonic point of reference to demonstrate their adhesion to the principate of Augustus and to increase their possibilities of promotion in the capital of the Empire. Judging by the large number of senators from Italica in Rome, they achieved their objective.

description: As the largest reservoir of carbon exchanging with the atmosphere on glacial–interglacial timescales, the deep ocean has been implicated as the likely location of carbon sequestration during Pleistocene glaciations. Despite strong theoretical underpinning for this expectation, radiocarbon data on watermass ventilation ages conflict, and proxy interpretations disagree about the depth, origin and even existence of the respired carbon pool. Because any change in the storage of respiratory carbon is accompanied by corresponding changes in dissolved oxygen concentrations, proxy data reflecting oxygenation are valuable in addressing these apparent inconsistencies. Here, we present a record of redox-sensitive uranium from the central equatorial Pacific Ocean to identify intervals associated with respiratory carbon storage over the past 350 kyr, providing evidence for repeated carbon storage over the last three glacial cycles. We also synthesise our data with previous work and propose an internally consistent picture of glacial carbon storage and equatorial Pacific Ocean watermass structure.

description: In their 1954 paper, Yang and Mills invented the non-Abelian field strength to satisfy certain criteria but didn't explain how it could be derived. In the penultimate section we show how the Yang-Mills field strength derives from Yang's gauge transformation. The preceding sections place Yang-Mills theory in historical perspective and cover material relating to the field strength. The final section shows how Yang-Mills theory was combined with spontaneous symmetry breaking, the Goldstone theorem and subsequent work to contribute to the Standard Model of particle physics.

Dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes and their incorporation into lignin based fibres
Creators: name: Teng, Nai-Yu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Softwood Kraft lignin (SKL) and fractions obtained from solvent fractionation were used and characterized. Characterizations showed that F₄SKL, the solubilizable fraction with the highest molecular weight, exhibits association of the lignin molecules. A small amount of F₄SKL facilitated the dispersion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) in dimethylformamide (DMF) solutions. π-interactions played an important role in the effective dispersal of MWNTs. Raman spectroscopy data also revealed that greater concentrations of F₄SKL could further disperse MWNTs. Also,dispersion of MWNTs affects the performance of the electrospinning process.The mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of the fibres did not improve with incorporating MWNTs.

In (partial) defense of strict liability in contract
Creators: name: Scott, Robert E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Contracts
Liability (Law)

description: Many scholars believe that notions of fault should and do pervade contract doctrine. Notwithstanding the normative and positive arguments in favor of a fault-based analysis of particular contract doctrines, I argue that contract liability is strict liability at its core. This core regime is based on two key prongs: (1) the promisor is liable to the promisee for breach, and that liability is unaffected by the promisor's exercise of due care or failure to take efficient precautions; and (2) the promisor's liability is unaffected by the fact that the promisee, prior to the breach, has failed to take cost-effective precautions to reduce the consequences of nonperformance. I offer two complementary normative justifications for contract law's stubborn resistance to consider fault in either of these instances. First, I argue that there are unappreciated ways in which courts' adherence to strict liability doctrine at the core of contract reduces contracting costs. In addition, I argue that a strict liability core best supports parties' efforts to access informal or relational modes of contracting, especially where key information is unverifiable.

description: By analytically constructing the matrix elements of an electron-phonon interaction for the $D$ band in the Raman spectra of armchair graphene nanoribbons, we show that pseudospin and momentum conservation result in (i) a $D$ band consisting of two components, (ii) a $D$ band Raman intensity that is enhanced only when the polarizations of the incident and scattered light are parallel to the armchair edge, and (iii) the $D$ band softening/hardening behavior caused by the Kohn anomaly effect is correlated with that of the $G$ band. Several experiments are mentioned that are relevant to these results. It is also suggested that pseudospin is independent of the boundary condition for the phonon mode, while momentum conservation depends on it.

description: This paper presents a quantum algorithm that computes the product of two $n\times n$ Boolean matrices in $\tilde O(n\sqrt{\ell}+\ell\sqrt{n})$ time, where $\ell$ is the number of non-zero entries in the product. This improves the previous output-sensitive quantum algorithms for Boolean matrix multiplication in the time complexity setting by Buhrman and Špalek (SODA'06) and Le Gall (SODA'12). We also show that our approach cannot be further improved unless a breakthrough is made: we prove that any significant improvement would imply the existence of an algorithm based on quantum search that multiplies two $n\times n$ Boolean matrices in $O(n^{5/2-\varepsilon})$ time, for some constant $\varepsilon>0$.

description: It is lovely to be here, especially because, as a privacy scholar, I am a bit of an interloper with the IP crowd. Whenever anyone mentions IP, I think they mean “information privacy.” So, in this group of intellectual property scholars, I am surely an outlier as well. It is exciting to find a kindred spirit in Jennifer Rothman’s book, which conceptualizes privacy as centrally involved with the formation of identity. What I am going to do is circle back to tell the story of Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis, what they were doing in their famous law review article, how they broke new ground, and some of the history around the project and the writers themselves. Then, I am going to talk about sexual privacy, the focus on my current work.

description: When Professors Rothman and Ginsburg asked me to speak here on the issues surrounding territoriality, jurisdiction, choice of law, and the like in the law of publicity, I confessed that I knew little about the developing law of publicity rights. Having taught Copyright Law for many years, I had come across the well-known foundational publicity rights cases—the cases involving Tom Waits, Vanna White, and Bette Midler—because of the problematic relationship between those decisions (under California state law) and federal copyright law. But I had not studied the publicity doctrine, or the main corpus of cases and statutes, with any great care. I had, however, done some thinking over the years about territoriality and jurisdiction in other contexts. I was happy to have the opportunity to dive in and spend a couple of months immersing myself in the publicity cases and commentary to try to discover how those questions played themselves out in this particular corner of the legal universe. I found the results “alarming.” I use the term advisedly, so let me try to explain what I mean by it.
The role of developmental activities on self-determined motivation, passion and skill in youth soccer players.
Creators: name: Hendry, David Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Based upon postulates derived from the Developmental Model of Sports Participation (Côté et al., 2012) we tested the effects of domain specific activities (play and practice), as well as sporting diversity during the sampling years, on the development of motivation, passion and skill ratings. The first component of our study required testing predictions that play and diversity during the sampling years (age 5-12 yr) were positively correlated with intrinsic motivation and passion. We questioned elite youth level soccer players (N= 148), across 3 age groups, who were on the pathway towards achieving professional status at the adult level. Overall, we found no significant correlations between play and early sporting diversity during the sampling years with scores of motivation or passion. A small, yet significant positive correlation was observed between accumulated hours in soccer practice and integrated regulation. However, independent analysis of age groups yielded significant negative correlations between hours accumulated in soccer practice and measures of intrinsic motivation (Under 15 yr) and harmonious passion (Under 17 yr). The second study component investigated associations between time spent in soccer activities during the sampling years and across participants’ full careers as well as sporting diversity with coach ratings of skill. For the U17 group, hours accumulated in organized practice were related to creative and overall skill, while accumulated hours in soccer practice were related to technical skill for the U15 group. Moreover, for the U17 group, % accumulated hours in play negatively correlated with technical and overall skill ratings. The youngest group (U13) showed a different pattern of results to the older players, with more hours in play (% and total) related to creative skill. Due to these overall relationships, we conclude that recommendations towards early sporting diversity and more time in deliberate play activities (i.e., individually-led practice or play) should be treated with caution, because they do not inoculate against any hypothesized negative effects of early specialization in sport and are negatively related to predictors of skill (at least for the older players). Follow-up longitudinal analysis is recommended to determine how these practice and motivation variables are related to future success.
Thinking ahead : the decision problem

description: We propose a model of costly decision-making based on time-costs of deliberating current and future decisions. We model an individual decision maker's thinking process as a thought-experiment that takes time and let the decision maker "think ahead" about future decision problems in yet unrealized states of nature. By formulating an intertemporal, state-contingent, planning problem, which may involve costly deliberation in every state of nature, and by letting the decision-maker deliberate ahead of the realization of a state, we attempt to capture the basic observation that individuals generally do not think through a complete action-plan. Instead, individuals prioritize their thinking and leave deliberations on less important decisions to the time or event when they arise.

description: The effective development of functional materials requires a thorough understanding of their high-temperature thermodynamic properties under material production process conditions. In this study, we develop high-temperature synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques using a compact near-infrared (NIR) lamp furnace at BL02B2 and BL13XU in SPring-8, enabling heating to ~ 1700 °C at a maximum rate of 1000 °C/min. The compactness of the device allows easy installation within the limited space around a goniometer in the beamline and facilitates simple sample exchange and positioning. The NIR furnace supports various measurement types using two different setups. One setup involves sample holders with flat sapphire sample cells, enabling measurements under various gas atmospheres and precise temperature control through direct temperature measurements near sample positions using a thermocouple. The other involves a capillary rotation system, allowing for sufficient particle statistical measurements even as crystal grain growth progresses. To demonstrate the applicability of the developed system for in situ experiments under various heating conditions, we evaluated the heating process of standard samples and in situ crystalline phase changes of Sr ferrite permanent magnet materials. Specifically, we successfully observed the calcination synthesis of the permanent magnet material, M-type SrFe12O19, from a mixture of SrCO3 and Fe2O3. Moreover, in situ heating observations were utilized to establish a pseudo-binary diagram of the SrFe12O19-Fe2O3 system above 1300 °C, including multiple Sr ferrite magnet phases (M-type SrFe12O19, X-type Sr2Fe30O46, and W-type SrFe18O27). Harnessing NIR lamp furnace adaptability facilitated in situ XRD observations for visualizing diverse high-temperature treatment procedures for functional materials. Newly designed multi-purpose near-infrared furnace for synchrotron X-ray diffraction enables in situ observation of various high-temperature heating processes up to 1700°C, as demonstrated by the permanent magnet material synthesis

description: This investigation explores the challenges millennials face in safeguarding their digital assets in an era of rising online fraud. Due to their heavy reliance on technology, the millennials are bound to be  vulnerable to cybercriminals. The study examines key risk factors, including their dependence on digital platforms, lack of cybersecurity expertise, and overconfidence in their knowledge. It also highlights common types of online fraud targeting millennials, such as phishing, investment scams, social engineering, and identity theft. Findings show that 50% of millennials have experienced some form of online fraud, yet only 35% regularly use strong passwords or two-factor authentication. Furthermore, cybercrime targeting millennials has increased by 30% over the past five years, underscoring their growing exposure to these threats. The study also highlights the importance of millennials adopting a more proactive stance toward cybersecurity by increasing awareness of potential risks and promoting safer online practices. It suggests that using password managers can help securely store and organize login information, decreasing the chances of using weak or repeated passwords. Additionally, the study recommends that tech companies and educational institutions collaborate to offer resources and training that equip millennials with the necessary tools and knowledge to protect their digital assets. Given their increasing reliance on digital services, it is essential for millennials to prioritize online security in order to reduce the growing threat of cybercrime. The study concludes with recommendations for improving cybersecurity practices, such as creating strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and staying updated on security developments.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Farmed Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) escaping or spawning directly in sea cages poses a continuous risk to the natural environment, similar to that recognized for the salmon aquaculture industry. Cod culture is in its infancy, providing the industry and scientific community the opportunity to develop cod culture in an environmentally sound and profitable manner. Preliminary research has shown that triploid females do not produce hydrated oocytes, while male triploids undergo spermatogenesis. Although this precludes the opportunity for within-cage mating of triploid females and males, it does pose a possible problem if male triploids were to escape. The purpose of this study was to examine if male triploid Atlantic cod are capable of outcompeting male diploids for spawning access to female partners, and to evaluate the viability of their offspring. Fertilization rates, daily embryonic survival, hatch rates and daily, unfed larval survival were compared by manually fertilizing eggs with sperm from males of each ploidy. Data were collected from ten replicate trios, with each trio comprised of a male of each ploidy and a diploid female. No significant difference was found between fertilization rates using milt stripped from triploids and diploids. A significant difference was found for hatch rates and survival, with offspring from diploid males being superior to those of triploids. Trios of fish were also placed in eight tanks and permitted to undergo spawning to determine whether a triploid male was able to gain access to a female in a competition setting with a diploid male. Egg batches were collected from tanks and microsatellite DNA makers used to determine proportion of embryos sired by each male.

Last Glacial Maximum

description: The Nussloch loess–palaeosol sequence (Rhine Valley, Germany) is considered to be one of the most complete records of the last glacial period in Western Europe due to its very high sedimentation rate and its good chronological control. This sequence is therefore a good framework in which to develop new proxies for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. In this study, we explore, for the first time, the potential of earthworm calcite granules as a new bio-indicator and climatic proxy of absolute air and soil temperature in the context of Last Glacial loess. These granules are composed of rhomboedric calcite crystals, organized in a radial crystalline structure. As these granules are individually generated by earthworms at a relative fast rate, they are expected to record intra-annual variations in the available sources of oxygen: percolating waters of meteoric origin. We extracted thirty earthworm calcite granules from 11 of 5 cm layers thick from tundra gley and brown soil horizons previously, dated at 45 to 23 ka. Oxygen isotope ratios were measured on each individual granule. The δ¹⁸O of calcite granules and interlinked transfer functions between water cycle, air and soil temperatures allowed us to estimate air temperatures ranging from 10 to 12±4°C, which most likely reflect the warm periods of the year when earthworms were the most active.

description: We report the discovery of a pair of quasars at $z=1.487$, with a separation of $8\farcs585\pm0\farcs002$. Subaru Telescope infrared imaging reveals the presence of an elliptical and a disk-like galaxy located almost symmetrically between the quasars, creating a cross-like configuration. Based on absorption lines in the quasar spectra and the colors of the galaxies, we estimate that both galaxies are located at redshift $z=0.899$. This, as well as the similarity of the quasar spectra, suggests that the system is a single quasar multiply imaged by a galaxy group or cluster acting as a gravitational lens, although the possibility of a binary quasar cannot be fully excluded. We show that the gravitational lensing hypothesis implies these galaxies are not isolated, but must be embedded in a dark matter halo of virial mass $\sim 4 \times 10^{14}\ h_{70}^{-1}\ {M}_\odot$ assuming an NFW model with a concentration parameter of $c_{vir}=6$, or a singular isothermal sphere profile with a velocity dispersion of $\sim 670$ km s$^{-1}$. We place constraints on the location of the dark matter halo, as well as the velocity dispersions of the galaxies. In addition, we discuss the influence of differential reddening, microlensing and intrinsic variability on the quasar spectra and broadband photometry.

description: Concurrent wavefield and turbulent flux measurements acquired during the Southern Ocean (SO) Gas Exchange (GasEx) and the High Wind Speed Gas Exchange Study (HiWinGS) projects permit evaluation of the dependence of the whitecap coverage W on wind speed, wave age, wave steepness, mean square slope, and wind-wave and breaking Reynolds numbers. The W was determined from over 600 high-frequency visible imagery recordings of 20 min each. Wave statistics were computed from in situ and remotely sensed data as well as from a WAVEWATCH III hindcast. The first shipborne estimates of W under sustained 10-m neutral wind speeds U10N of 25 m s−1 were obtained during HiWinGS. These measurements suggest that W levels off at high wind speed, not exceeding 10% when averaged over 20 min. Combining wind speed and wave height in the form of the wind-wave Reynolds number resulted in closely agreeing models for both datasets, individually and combined. These are also in good agreement with two previous studies. When expressing W in terms of wavefield statistics only or wave age, larger scatter is observed and/or there is little agreement between SO GasEx, HiWinGS, and previously published data. The wind speed–only parameterizations deduced from the SO GasEx and HiWinGS datasets agree closely and capture more of the observed W variability than Reynolds number parameterizations. However, these wind speed–only models do not agree as well with previous studies than the wind-wave Reynolds numbers.

description: A central characteristic of Bayesian statistics is the ability to consistently incorporate prior knowledge into various modeling processes. In this paper, we focus on translating domain expert knowledge into corresponding prior distributions over model parameters, a process known as prior elicitation. Expert knowledge can manifest itself in diverse formats, including information about raw data, summary statistics, or model parameters. A major challenge for existing elicitation methods is how to effectively utilize all of these different formats in order to formulate prior distributions that align with the expert’s expectations, regardless of the model structure. To address these challenges, we develop a simulation-based elicitation method that can learn the hyperparameters of potentially any parametric prior distribution from a wide spectrum of expert knowledge using stochastic gradient descent. We validate the effectiveness and robustness of our elicitation method in four representative simulation studies covering linear models, generalized linear models, and hierarchical models. Our results support the claim that our method is largely independent of the underlying model structure and adaptable to various elicitation techniques, including quantile-based, moment-based, and histogram-based methods.

Marine algae--Ecology

description: Establishing virus–host relationships has historically relied on culture-dependent approaches. Here we report on the use of marine metatranscriptomics to probe virus–host relationships. Statistical co-occurrence analyses of dsDNA, ssRNA and dsRNA viral markers of polyadenylation-selected RNA sequences from microbial communities dominated by Aureococcus anophagefferens (Quantuck Bay, NY), and diatoms (Narragansett Bay, RI) show active infections by diverse giant viruses (NCLDVs) associated with algal and nonalgal hosts. Ongoing infections of A. anophagefferens by a known Mimiviridae (AaV) occur during bloom peak and decline. Bloom decline is also accompanied by increased activity of viruses other than AaV, including (+) ssRNA viruses. In Narragansett Bay, increased temporal resolution reveals active NCLDVs with both ‘boom-and-bust’ and ‘steady-state infection’-like ecologies that include known as well as novel virus–host interactions. Our approach offers a method for screening active viral infections and develops links between viruses and their potential hosts in situ. Our observations further demonstrate that previously unknown virus–host relationships in marine systems are abundant.
Control over Contemporary Photography: A Tangle of Copyright, Right of Publicity, and the First Amendment

description: Professional photographers who make photographs of people negotiate a tense relationship between their own creative freedoms and the right of their subjects to control their images. This negotiation formally takes place over the terrain of copyright, right of publicity, and the First Amendment. Informally, photographers describe implied understandings and practice norms guiding their relationship with subjects, infrequently memorialized in short, boilerplate contractual releases. This short essay explores these formal and informal practices described by contemporary professional photographers. Although the evidence for this essay comes from professional photographic practice culled from interviews with contemporary photographers, the analysis of the evidence speaks to the more general challenge of balancing privacy and freedom of expression in the digital age. At the outset of this essay, I describe the scope of the empirical project and the process of collecting data. Then, in three parts, I describe how photographers simultaneously collaborate with and control the subjects of the photographs they make in order to assert themselves as civic storytellers with broad free speech rights in our digital age. I identify a conflict between photographers and their subjects, which serves to maximize the aesthetic freedom of photographers at the expense of their subjects. This conflict resolves in the photographers’ accounts through their caretaking role over their photographs on behalf of the subjects themselves. I conclude with a brief explanation of why it matters to better understand these professional photographic norms in our Internet age when free speech and privacy are increasingly in conflict.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) represents one of the most economically important fishes in the north Atlantic. However, serious declines in abundance have been observed in many wild stocks, a situation which has stimulated the increasing global interest for cod farming. In Norway, which is one of the largest producing countries, current aquaculture production is approximately 7500 tons. This industry has considerable potential to expand, and the Norwegian government has issued sufficient farming licenses to enable a commercial production of approximately 300 000 tons.
Optimal property rights in financial contracting

Subjects: Right of property
Contracts

description: In this paper we propose a theory of optimal property rights in a financial contracting setting. Following recent contributions in the property law literature, we emphasize the distinction between contractual rights, that are only enforceable against the parties themselves, and property rights, that are also enforeceable against third parties outside the contract. Our analysis starts with the following question: which contractual agreements should the law allow parties to enforce as property rights? Our proposed answer to this question is shaped by the overall objective of minimizing due diligence (reading) costs and investment distortions that follow from the inability of third-party lenders to costlessly observe pre-existing rights in a borrower's property. Borrowers cannot reduce these costs without the law's help, due to an inability to commit to protecting third-parties from redistribution. We find that the law should take a more restrictive approach to enforcing rights against third-parties when these rights are i) more costly for third-parties to discover, ii) more likely to redistribute value from third-parties, and iii) less likely to increase efficiency. We find that these qualitative principles are often reflected in observed legal rules, including the enforceability of negative covenants; fraudulent conveyance; corporate veil-piercing; and limits on assignability.
Anisotropic mesh adaptation : recovering quasi-structured meshes
Creators: name: Sharbatdar, Mahkame
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: An adaptive method for producing anisotropic quasi-structured meshes is presented in this thesis. Current anisotropic adaptation schemes produce meshes without any regular structure which can hurt accuracy and efficiency of the solution. By modifying the anisotropic adaptation schemes, producing aligned, quasi-structured meshes is possible which means that the accuracy and efficiency of the flow solution are improved. By using quasi-structured meshes, we can get the advantages of flexibility of unstructured meshes for complex geometries and accuracy of the high directional qualities of the structured meshes at the same time. The construction of the quasi-structured meshes from initial isotropic unstructured meshes is accomplished by assigning metrics to vertices based on the error estimation methods. The metrics are used to communicate the desired anisotropy to the meshing program. After assigning a metric to each vertex, the mesh is refined anisotropically using four mesh quality improvements operations to produce high quality anisotropic quasi-structured meshes: swapping to choose the diagonal of the quadrilateral formed by two neighboring triangles which results the maximum quality, inserting vertices for large triangles, vertex removal to eliminate small edges and vertex movements to optimize the location of the vertices so that quasi-structured meshes are created. The idea in the optimization process is to smooth a vertex location by seeking so that the final mesh contains target elements dictated by the metrics assigned in the three vertices of that triangle. The final, high quality mesh is produced by using these operations iteratively based on the metrics assigned to each vertex in an adaptive, solution-based process.

description: With rising atmospheric CO2, phytoplankton face shifts in ocean chemistry including increased dissolved CO2 and acidification that will likely influence the relative competitive fitness of different phytoplankton taxa. Here we compared the physiological and gene expression responses of six species of phytoplankton including a diatom, a raphidophyte, two haptophytes, and two dinoflagellates to ambient (~400 ppm) and elevated (~800 ppm) CO2. Dinoflagellates had significantly slower growth rates and higher, yet variable, chlorophyll a per cell under elevated CO2. The other phytoplankton tended to have increased growth rates and/or decreased chlorophyll a per cell. Carbon and nitrogen partitioning of cells shifted under elevated CO2 in some species, indicating potential changes in energy fluxes due to changes in carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCM) or photorespiration. Consistent with these phenotypic changes, gene set enrichment analyses revealed shifts in energy, carbon and nitrogen metabolic pathways, though with limited overlap between species in the genes and pathways involved. Similarly, gene expression responses across species revealed few conserved CO2-responsive genes within CCM and photorespiration categories, and a survey of available transcriptomes found high diversity in biophysical CCM and photorespiration expressed gene complements between and within the four phyla represented by these species. The few genes that displayed similar responses to CO2 across phyla were from understudied gene families, making them targets for further research to uncover the mechanisms of phytoplankton acclimation to elevated CO2. These results underscore that eukaryotic phytoplankton have diverse gene complements and gene expression responses to CO2 perturbations and highlight the value of cross-phyla comparisons for identifying gene families that respond to environmental change.
