description: Clusters of galaxies, the largest bound objects in the Universe, constitute a cosmological probe of choice, which is sensitive to both dark matter and dark energy. Within this framework, the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect has opened a new window for the detection of clusters of galaxies and for the characterization of their physical properties such as mass, pressure and temperature. NIKA, a KID-based dual band camera installed at the IRAM 30-m telescope, was particularly well adapted in terms of frequency, angular resolution, field-of-view and sensitivity, for the mapping of the thermal and kinetic SZ effect in high-redshift clusters. In this paper, we present the NIKA cluster sample and a review of the main results obtained via the measurement of the SZ effect on those clusters: reconstruction of the cluster radial pressure profile, mass, temperature and velocity.

Evolution of Public Library
Creators: name: Zhao, Sheng
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: What arguably defines and makes the library distinct from other public institutions is that it ‘stores’ recyclable entities of value and freely lends it to the general public for their benefit to reduce social barriers. This is a uniquely defining feature of the public library and it’s critical as it’s part of the public-civic sphere; its existence, condition, and relevance arguably defines the identity of public society. Today, the main item of the public library’s storage and loaning is arguably book. However, with the usefulness of the printed format to be a source and storage of information declining with the rise of ubiquitous online digital information, the existing public library institution arguably needs to be re-articulated. The public library has existing social-functional value for society and how it can develop from its current challenges and value is explored. This study explores how the public library institution, in context to it as a public civic space, can architecturally-programmatically transform into the future to develop its social value and to further evolve public space & society. By defining the true value of the public library institution, this research explores a reimagined future function and form of the public library in a new prototype institution-space that better benefits the society and community it serves. This research draws from public library history, case studies, and analysis of its social value-context to understand the definition and significance of the public library institution, to propose a preliminary redefined public library program-form, and to conceive a design guide for a new public library ideal benefiting public civic space and the community. This research will explore this by looking at the public library in a North American context through a simulated case study in Vancouver, considering its impacts in a larger urban context, and abstract simulation studies. It is proposed the public library can develop as an agent orientated heterotopia, fragment spatially-architecturally at finer scales urbanistically, expand its traditional definition, architecturally develop as a ‘binder’, and develop its sharing culture in context to redefining public civic society.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thynnus thynnus) is currently managed as two stocks (eastern and western) separated by the 45°W meridian. Tagging and otolith chemistry patterns indicate there is a high degree of natal homing within each stock, but there also appears to be a high level of mixing during nonspawning periods. Because the rebuilding capacity of stocks may be partly determined by connectivity between populations, failure to account for mixing of populations can jeopardize the realization of rebuilding expectations. We developed a simulation model for Atlantic bluefin tuna to explore the consequences of alternative hypotheses of stock structure and mixing on stock productivity and rebuilding goals. The operating model is composed of two spawning populations based on western and eastern Atlantic stocks, each with its own unique vital rates and independent recruitment dynamics. The model is stochastic, age-structured, seasonally and spatially-explicit, assuming overlap between stocks. Model structure was informed by synthesis of all data available and consensus of experts on bluefin mixing. Alternative movement rates among seven geographic zones were derived from a tag-integrated stock assessment model, as well as qualitative patterns of tagging, otolith chemistry and demographic data. Model simulations projecting the time for each stock to recover to the biomass that can support maximum sustainable yield were sensitive to the assumptions of mixing between stocks. Results indicate that consideration of connectivity between populations is critical to understanding how populations will respond to management strategies designed to rebuild Atlantic bluefin tuna stocks.
Cosmic Dispersion Measure from Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows: Probing the Reionization History and the Burst Environment
Creators: name: Ioka, Kunihito
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We show a possible way to measure the column density of free electrons along the light path, the so-called Dispersion Measure (DM), from the early $[\sim 415 (ν/1 {\rm GHz})^{-2} ({\rm DM}/10^{5} {\rm pc} {\rm cm}^{-3}) {\rm s}]$ radio afterglows of the gamma-ray bursts. We find that the proposed Square Kilometer Array can detect bright radio afterglows around the time $\sim 10^{3}(ν/160 {\rm MHz})^{-2}$ s to measure the intergalactic DM ($\simg 6000$ pc cm$^{-3}$ at redshift $z>6$) up to $z\sim 30$, from which we can determine the reionization history of the universe and identify the missing warm-hot baryons. At low $z$, DM in the host galaxy may reach $\sim 10^{5}$ pc cm$^{-3}$ depending on the burst environment, which may be probed by the current detectors. Free-free absorption and diffractive scattering may also affect the radio emission in a high density.

description: The paper studies the overdamped motion of Brownian particles in a tilted sawtooth potential. The dependencies of the diffusion coefficient and coherence level of Brownian transport on temperature, tilting force, and the shape of the potential are analyzed. It is demonstrated that at low temperatures the coherence level of Brownian transport stabilizes in the extensive domain of the tilting force where the value of the Peclet factor is Pe=2. This domain coincides with the one where the enhancement of the diffusion coefficient versus the tilting force is the most rapid. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the non-monotonic behaviour of the diffusion coefficient as a function of temperature are found. The effect of the acceleration of diffusion by bias and temperature is demonstrated to be very sensitive to the value of the asymmetry parameter of the potential.

Subjects: subject: Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics (physics.ao-ph)

description: Based on new radiative transfer numerical evaluations, we reconsider an argument presented by Schack in 1972 that says that saturation of the absorption of infrared radiation by carbon dioxide in the atmosphere sets in as soon as the relative concentration of carbon dioxide exceeds a lower limit of approximately 300 ppm. We provide a concise brief and explicit representation of the greenhouse effect of the earth's atmosphere. We find an equilibrium climate sensitivity (temperature increase $ΔT$ due to doubling of atmospheric $CO_2$ concentration) of $ΔT \simeq 0.5 ^0C$. We elaborate on the consistency of these results on $ΔT$ with results observationally obtained by satellite-based measurements of short-time radiation-flux versus surface-temperature changes.

description: This paper established a new, rapid and sensitive method for the ultra-trace determination of lead, cadmium and nickel in food and environmental samples preconcentrated by dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) combined with surfactant-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (SA-DLLME) prior to graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. SBA-15/Met was synthesized and used as a new efficient sorbent for the extraction of metal ions in DSPE. It was characterized by TEM and TGA techniques. After DSPE step, stripped metal elements were complexed with dithizone, and then, the complexes were extracted into carbon tetrachloride by using SA-DLLME. A conventional nonionic surfactant, triton X-100 was used as a disperser agent. Under the optimized conditions, the limit of quantifications was found to be 2.5 ng L−1 for Pb2+, Cd2+ and 5.0 ng L−1 for Ni2+ .The limits of detection were 1.5 ng L−1 for Ni2+ and 0.75 ng L−1 for Pb2+ and Cd2+, with enrichment factor of 1650. The optimized method exhibited a good precision level with relative standard deviations (RSDs%) values of 4.9, 5.2 and 5.0% for 1 μg L−1 Pb2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+, respectively (n = 7). Application of the proposed method to the analysis of fish-certified reference material produced results that were in good agreement with the certified values.

description: We examine coherent phonons in a strongly driven sample of optimally-doped high temperature superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$. We observe a non-linear lattice response of the 4.5\,THz copper-oxygen vibrational mode at high excitation densities, evidenced by the observation of the phonon third harmonic and indicating the mode is strongly anharmonic. In addition, we observe how high-amplitude phonon vibrations modify the position of the electronic charge transfer resonance. Both of these results have important implications for possible phonon-driven non-equilibrium superconductivity.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Historically, Eurasian perch has been one of the most important fish species for coastal commercial and recreational fisheries in Estonia. The annual landings peaked over 2000 In mid 1970s and decresed to 400-500 t in 1990s.. Western-Estonian Archipelago Sea (F.1) was one of the main areas of perch fishery, where About half of Estonian total coastal perch catches were taken until 1995 (F.2). Due to political changes in the early 1990s, the situation in Estonian coastal fishery changed drastically. Fishing with trap and gill nets became accessible for all coastal habitants, inducing increase of fishing effort threefold in 1994-1997. The opening of West Europe market where perch had significant value was incentive to the effort increase. Higher fishing pressure resulted in shift towardssmaller (TL=15- 17cm) and predominantly immature perch (appr. 60% of females in this length), subsequently reducing the mean weight in catch (appr. 3-3.5 kg per 100 specimens). In addition to the decrease in mean weight also the structure of the catches changed (Tab.1). In order to compensate the changes in the catches, the effort and intensity of perch fishery further increased drastically. The effect of intensive fishing was even more pronounced since only the year-classes with low abundance formed the stock in the observed period. Increased exploitation of perch in the Matsalu Bay resulted in population collapse and despite of multiple fishing regulations (introduced in 1999) the perch population has not been able to recover

Ezen kívül górcső alá vettük a mérsékelt és túlzott borfogyasztás megítélését és modelleztük mennyiségben és értékben a magyar borpiacot az egyes kereskedelmi csatornák részesedése szerint. ---------------- Like other markets, the Hungarian wine market is always changing. This change influences the demands and offers. To summarise the actual consumption habits and provide a detailed introduction to the Hungarian wine market, a representative survey of 1500 people was conducted in the second half of 2017. Within the frame of this survey, the frequency of consumption of wine and other alcoholic drinks, the aim and place of purchase, the willingness to spend money and the circumstances of wine consumption were analysed. As well as observing the judgement of solid and excessive wine drinking, we modelled the both the quality and the quantity of the Hungarian wine market according to the shares of the different commercial chains.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The coexistence of resident and migratory individuals within a population is termed partial migration. Using data storage tags that record depth and temperature, we investigated the migratory behaviour of adult Atlantic cod in the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence. The geolocation problem was solved using the hidden Markov model based on daily maximum depths and bottom temperature. Reconstructed migration routes revealed undocumented partial migration in the panmictic population. Migratory individuals overwintered in relatively deep (300-500m) and warm (5°C) waters. In the spring, these migratory fish displayed extensive diel vertical movements that were interpreted as spawning behaviour. Resident individuals displayed a prolonged period of dormancy in shallow (< 50m) and near freezing (-1.5°C) coastal waters during the winter and the spring. This dormancy period was followed by foraging movements in western Newfoundland coastal waters. Limited ability of scientific survey to sample resident cod in shallow coastal waters may induce bias in the population abundance estimations.

description: This paper introduces the CRC/TR32 database (TR32DB), a research data management system developed within the multidisciplinary research project Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio 32 (CRC/TR32) funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The aim of the TR32DB is to support collative research within the whole project by providing data storage, backup, archive, documentation, publication and also sharing services. The entire system is self-developed according to the requirements of the funding agency, the user and project demands, as well as according to recent principles and standards. The TR32DB system architecture is basically a combination of data storage (file management), database and web-interface. In addition, the TR32DB Metadata Schema was designed and implemented to describe all project data with accurate metadata. A user-friendly multi-level approach was chosen to cover the requirements of all data stored in the TR32DB with appropriate metadata.

Inhabiting the Anthropocene : Designing for Accelerating Change in a New Epoch
Creators: name: Moskal, Pauline
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Landscapes are always in motion and yet, the way contemporary landscapes are designed, represented, detailed, and maintained, reflect static notions serving limited lifespans. The Anthropocene presents a new era of unpredictable and accelerating change generated by human influence. Adapting to these accelerated changes is the most significant challenge facing landscape architects today and requires engagement across multiple scales of design. This project proposes the Anthropocene as a framework for discussion and explores themes of time and space in relation to landscape architecture and their importance in the Anthropocene. The findings of this exploration will assist in the design of projected futures for landscapes experiencing accelerated change, in an effort to raise awareness about our influence on the Earth.

description: Farm relocation is applied in numerous spatial planning processes, including the conversion of agricultural land for nature development or urbanization. In this paper, we present the results of a qualitative study on farm relocation. With the aim of identifying main problems and success factors related to farm relocations, we performed in-depth interviews with relocated farmers in the Netherlands and in the region of Flanders, Belgium. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study looking at the farmers’ perspective on relocation that includes farmers from different planning projects and countries. Using grounded theory, we were able to identify factors that determine the perceived success or failure of farm relocation, subdivided into five categories: (1) farmer and firm; (2) financial aspects; (3) process; (4) old location; and (5) new location. Insights gathered in this study might guide spatial planners towards effective use of farm relocation in different planning contexts.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.From 2005 onwards, a baseline monitoring programme was carried out to assess whether the construction of offshore wind farms induced changes in the soft‐sediment endobenthos in the Belgian Part of the North Sea. The natural, temporal variability of the endobenthos was detected without any apparent effects from the wind farms. To understand underlying processes and detect future effects, a targeted (small‐scale) sampling strategy was initiated in 2010, alongside the baseline monitoring activities. The sandy offshore sediments near one gravity based foundation (GBF) can be altered due to (1) previously created pits, (2) changing hydrodynamics, (3) organic enrichment and (4) prohibition of beam trawl fisheries. Benthic samples were therefore taken at 1, 7, 15, 25, 50, 100 and 200 meters from the scour protection system and along four gradients, in order to stress the importance of currents around the GBF. In 2010, high mean total densities and macrobenthic biomass were detected at one and seven meters from the GBF. The natural occurring Nephtys cirrosa community shifted to a community dominated by Monocorophium acherusicum, Lanice conchilega and Spiophanes bombyx. One year later, higher macrofaunal densities were also observed at 15 and 25 meters from the GBF and this primarily on the Southwest gradient. Furthermore, a decline in median grain size was observed between 2010 and 2011, suggesting changing hydrodynamics around the GBF. These results illustrate the importance of dedicated small scale and short term investigations in national monitoring strategies for offshore wind farms as they permit a better understanding of the large scale observations

description: Aims: Mapping the interstellar medium in 3D provides a wealth of insights into its inner working. The Milky Way is the only galaxy for which detailed 3D mapping can be achieved in principle. In this paper, we reconstruct the dust density in and around the local super-bubble. Methods: The combined data from surveys such as Gaia, 2MASS, PANSTARRS, and ALLWISE provide the necessary information to make detailed maps of the interstellar medium in our surrounding. To this end, we used variational inference and Gaussian processes to model the dust extinction density, exploiting its intrinsic correlations. Results: We reconstructed a highly resolved dust map, showing the nearest dust clouds at a distance of up to 400pc with a resolution of 1pc. Conclusions: Our reconstruction provides insights into the structure of the interstellar medium. We compute summary statistics of the spectral index and the 1-point function of the logarithmic dust extinction density, which may constrain simulations of the interstellar medium that achieve a similar resolution.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A BACI (Before After Control Impact) design is used to evaluate two possible effects of offshore windmill parks in the Belgian part of the North Sea on soft bottom epibenthos and demersal fish, namely the effect of the presence of turbines (hard substrate) and border (fringe) effects due to changing fisheries activities at the concession borders. For the Thorntonbank wind farm (27 km offshore, 18-24 m water depth, 6 gravity based foundations), a lower number and slightly larger individuals of swimming crab Liocarcinus holsatus and brown shrimp Crangon crangon and higher autumn densities of whiting Merlangius merlangus inside the park were noted in 2010 compared to the reference area. VMS (Vessel Monitoring System) data showed an increased fishing intensity in the neighbourhood of the concession. The absence of the smallest size classes of sole Solea solea at the ‘fringe’ stations might indicate an increased indirect fishing mortality (discards) or changes in the local benthic community. For the Bligh Bank windmill park (40 km offshore, 18-40 m water depth, 55 monopiles), clear differences were noted at species level. For example, the green sea urchin Psammechinus miliaris was found at higher densities in the impact area, both on the sandbank top and in the gullies. Also, some larger flatfish individuals (plaice Pleuronectes platessa and turbot Psetta maxima) were encountered inside the concession area. The results suggest fringe, refugium and reef effects on soft bottom epibenthos and demersal fish, related to the presence of the windmill parks.
title: The role of matrix metalloproteinases in cell-matrix interactions.
Creators: name: Stanton, Heather
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: Cellular interaction with the extracellular matrix influences basic processes such as proliferation, differentiation, migration and invasion. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity has been implicated in the remodelling of tissue associated with these events and in the migration of cells through tissue barriers. Evidence suggests that MMP expression and activation is influenced by the matrix components to which the cell is exposed. The recognition sites of the integrins α1β1 and α2β1 within collagen IV are located in the cyanogen bromide fragment CB3[IV] region, close to the reported gelatinase A (GLA) cleavage site. The susceptibility of solubilised forms of collagen IV to GLA cleavage and the concomitant effects on cell adhesion were assessed. Preparations of collagen IV monomers with disrupted intramolecular disulphide bonds in the CB3[IV] region were cleaved by GLA into the two characteristic 100nm-300nm fragments at 30°C and were totally degraded at 37°C. This resulted in the partial or total inhibition of cell adhesion to the collagen via integrin receptors. Preparations of monomers with intact disulphide bonds in the CB3[IV] region were not susceptible to GLA cleavage. Furthermore, no effect on binding of cells to the GLA-treated collagen could be detected after treatment at 37°C. Dimeric collagen IV with intact disulphide bonds in the CB3[IV] region was not degraded by GLA at 37°C. Tetrameric collagen was highly susceptible to GLA degradation at 37°C, but this did not affect cell adhesion, indicating that the CB3[IV] region of the tetramers remained intact. The effects of fibronectin and laminin-1 matrices on the activation of GLA was assessed. HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells cultured on fibronectin activated endogenous GLA to a level comparable with that elicited by phorbol ester treatment. In contrast, cells cultured on laminin-1 secreted mainly proGLA. Cells cultured on Augments of fibronectin derived from the central cell binding domain secreted levels of active GLA similar to those observed for full length fibronectin. A substrate of immobilised anti-α5 or anti-β1 integrin antibodies promoted GLA activation, whereas an anti-α6 antibody did not. The data demonstrate that that signals via the α5β1 integrin receptor may be involved in the fibronectin-induced up-regulatiun of GLA activation. The effect of fibronectin on the components of the putative MT1-MMP/TIMP-2 'receptor' complex for GLA was assessed. Levels of TIMP-2 protein expressed by HT1080 cells did not vary detectably between cells cultured on fibronectin or laminin-1. However, a fibronectin substrate increased the processing of MT1-MMP to a truncated 45 kDa form, which was concomitant with GLA activation. Inhibitor studies showed that the truncation of MT1-MMP to 45 kDa is MMP mediated, although not inhibited by TIMP-1. This study raises the possibility that truncation of MT1-MMP to 45 kDa form represents a regulatory end-point in the activation pathway of GLA.

description: The authors of the Letter PRL 89, 017004 (2002) predict nontrivial flux lattice structures in UPt3 in vicinity of the superconducting transition between the A and B phases for low magnetic fields, an important conclusion for motivating future experiments. We show that the approach and the conclusions of this Letter are wrong. The transitions between the different superconducting phases in the mixed state are pointed out to be rather crossovers than real second-order phase transitions within the most popular theoretical models of a two-component superconducting order parameter for UPt3.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.An important element of the environmental impact assessments for offshore wind farms is the potential for interactions with seabirds, particularly through collision of birds in flight with rotating blades. In many cases, these birds are protected through Natura regulations, and Appropriate Assessments are required of the responsible authorities. Traditional models of collision (the “Band model”) make use of the numbers or density of birds flying at turbine height (i.e. within the swept area of the turbine blades)

description: Nitrogen (N) pollution has mostly been controlled using command-and-control instruments. However, nitrogen surplus permits (NSPs), which are tradeable, can be more cost-efficient in addressing the problem. To model this instrument, we calculated the individual marginal abatement cost curve for a sample of about 3,400 Swiss farms using farm-optimization models implemented in the agent-based agricultural sector model SWISSland. We also used SWISSland to analyze the effects of two NSP distribution systems (grandfathering and land-based allocation) on different farm types. The results showed that different farm types range in their abatement costs to reduce N surplus from an average of −0.04 CHF kg−1 N on arable farms to 51.06 CHF kg−1 N on special crop farms. We also found that N surpluses hardly explain the level of abatement costs. The biggest differences in effects of the distribution scheme were found in intensive livestock farm types such as pig or poultry farms.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Deployment of offshore wind farms (OWF) is rapidly expanding these years. A Before-After-ControlImpact (BACI) approach was used to study the impact of one of the world’s largest off shore wind farms (Horns Rev Offshore Wind Farm) on fish assemblages and species diversity. Fish were generally more abundant in the Control than the Impact area before the establishment of the OWF. Eight years later fish abundance was similar in both the Impact and Control area but the abundance of one of the most frequently occurring species, whiting, was much lower as compared to 2001. However, the changes in whiting reflected the general trend of the whiting population in the North Sea. The introduction of hard bottom resulted in higher species diversity close to each turbine with a clear spatial (horizontal) distribution. New reef fishes such as goldsinny wrasse, Ctenolabrus rupestris, viviparous eelpout, Zoarces viviparous, and lumpsucker, Cyclopterus lumpus, established themselves on the introduced reef area. In contrast very few gobies were caught near or at the OWF, presumably owing to the highly turbulent hydrographical conditions in the OWF. We suggest that the lack of this common prey fish is the main reason for the absence of larger predatory fish species

description: Cosmic Dawn, when the first stars and proto-galaxies began to form, is commonly expected to be accompanied by an absorption signature at radio frequencies. This feature arises as Lyman-$α$ photons emitted by these first luminous objects couple the 21 cm excitation temperature of intergalactic hydrogen gas to its kinetic temperature, driving it into absorption relative to the CMB. The detailed properties of this absorption profile encode powerful information about the physics of Cosmic Dawn. Recently, Bowman et al. analysed data from the EDGES low-band radio antenna and found an unexpectedly deep absorption profile centred at 78 MHz, which could be a detection of this signature. Their specific analysis fit their measurements using a polynomial foreground model, a flattened Gaussian absorption profile and a white noise model; we argue that a more accurate model, that includes a detailed noise model and accounting for the effects of plausible calibration errors, is essential for describing the EDGES data set. We perform a Bayesian evidence-based comparison of models of the EDGES low-band data set and find that those incorporating these additional components are decisively preferred. The subset of the best fitting models of the data that include a global signal favour an amplitude consistent with standard cosmological assumptions (A < 209 mK). However, there is not strong evidence to favour models of the data including a global 21 cm signal over those without one. Ultimately, we find that the derivation of robust constraints on astrophysics from the data is limited by the presence of systematics.

description: It is a fact that the need to adapt to the negative impacts of climate change is urgent especially in the agricultural sector of the economy. There are many options to adapt and mitigate the impacts of climate change, however, there have been few reports whether upland corn farmers are employing climate change impacts adaptation means. Further, the conduct of statistical modeling to determine the different factors that affect farmer’s decision to employ adaptation strategies are rare, hence this study. With 91 sampled corn farmers in Sagbayan, Bohol, the factors affecting upland corn farmers’ decision to employ adaptations strategies to climate change impacts were determined through Binary Logistic Regression. Gender, farm income and total land use in farming and value of farm assets were statistically significant.

description: To better adjust pro-agricultural policies and the relevant fiscal subsidy policies, it is important to measure the impact of policy agricultural insurance on the production behavior of peasant households. Measuring moral hazard can be really tough since it is hard to peel heterogeneity of a sample. By natural experiment, this study separate moral hazard and adverse selection of insurance. The results find that the existence of agriculture insurance notably increase the death rate of hogs. Besides, having hog insurance will increase peasants’ report willingness of severe epidemic situation, while decrease their efforts on risk management. This study provide experimental basis to better adjust policy agricultural insurance. Besides, the study peels heterogeneity of the sample, making its research results more accurate, which may theoretically expand the current researches.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A stationary camera system was used to study the small scale distribution of fish in the two offshore wind farms (OWF) Middelgrund and Lillgrund in Øresund Strait, between Denmark and Sweden. Fish distribution was examined at approximately 0, 25 and 50 m from the turbines. The study found that the fish fauna near the wind turbines was dominated by two-spotted gobies, Gobiusculus flavescens (Fabricius, 1779). There was a significant difference in numbers of fish for Lillgrund and Middelgrund OWF. At Lillgrund sediment was dominated of bare sand while Middelgrund had more heterogeneous sediment types with sand, boulder, pebbles and dense eelgrass areas. This suggests that OWF in areas with homogeneous sand sediment has a higher impact on the fish fauna compared to OWF in areas with heterogonous sediment. Furthermore, the effect of OWF on fish appears to be on a much smaller scale than previously thought.
