Analytical Evaluation of the Temporal Focal Shift for Arbitrary Pulse Shapes

2004

In this letter, we analyze the propagation of linearly chirped arbitrary-shaped light pulses through a parabolic dispersive medium to derive an analytical formula of assessing the location of the transverse plane where the pulse root-mean-square width is minimum. Closed form expressions for compressed pulses, which are independent of the input pulse shape, are demonstrated. In this way, we demonstrate that both the relative temporal focal shift and the minimum pulsewidth are solely determined by two factors, the temporal equivalent of the Fresnel number of the geometry and the pulse quality factor, i.e., the temporal analogue of the spatial M/sup 2/ beam quality factor. Some examples are di…

Täpläravun (Pacifastacus leniusculus) vaikutus Säkylän Pyhäjärven siian poikastuotantoon

2015

Täplärapu (Pacifastacus leniusculus) on vieraslaji, mutta sitä on istutettu paljon suomalaisiin vesistöihin etenkin rapuruton hävittämien jokirapukantojen tilalle. Kalataloudellisesti täpläravun merkitys on nykyään huomattava. Täpläravun vaikutusta kalalajeihin on tutkittu vähän. Säkylän Pyhäjärvellä täplärapukanta on kasvanut nopeasti 2000-luvulla, mutta samalla myös siikapopulaatio on heikentynyt huomattavasti. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitettiin täpläravun vaikutusta siikapopulaatioon vuosina 1998–2010. Täpläravut voivat käyttää kalojen mätiä ravinnokseen, ja suurissa tiheyksissä ravut saattavatkin saalistuksellaan vaikuttaa negatiivisesti siikojen mädin säilyvyyteen. Kohorttianalyysin avul…

Effect of polyethelene oxide on the thermal degradation of cellulose biofilm - Low cost material for soft tissue repair in dentistry

2016

Background Bio cellulose is a byproduct of sweet tea fermentation known as kombusha. During the biosynthesis by bacteria cellulose chains are polymerized by enzyme from activated glucose. The single chains are then extruded through the bacterial cell wall. Interestingly, a potential of the Kombucha's byproduct bio cellulose (BC) as biomaterial had come into focus only in the past few decades. The unique physical and mechanical properties such as high purity, an ultrafine and highly crystalline network structure, a superior mechanical strength, flexibility, pronounced permeability to gases and liquids, and an excellent compatibility with living tissue that reinforced by biodegradability, bio…

A comparison of the impacts of introduced signal crayfish and native noble crayfish in boreal lake ecosystems

Invasive crayfish increase habitat connectivity

2012

Several studies have shown that distinct compartments of lake ecosystems are coupled via transportation of organic matter, nutrients and energy across habitat boundaries. Here we evaluate the potential of the invasive signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus (Dana)) to modify energy pathways in large boreal lakes. Using a stable isotope mixing model and calculation of the isotopic niches we estimated the contribution of different food sources to the diets of crayfish captured from different habitats, and from that inferred their potential to transport energy across the littoral-profundal gradient. The crayfish caught from the littoral area utilized mainly littoral food sources, whereas the…

First record of an established marbled crayfish Procambarus virginalis (Lyko, 2017) population in Estonia

2019

Invasive marbled crayfish Procambarus virginalis (Lyko, 2017) is spreading alarmingly fast across European countries and beyond. Early maturation, parthenogenetic reproduction mode and high growth rate contribute to a high potential invasiveness. Marbled crayfish can pose severe effects on native communities impacting the native crayfish populations being carrier of the crayfish plague disease caused by Aphanomyces astaci. Here we report the first record of marbled crayfish in Estonia. In total, 104 individuals were found in the artificially warm outflow channel of the cooling system of Balti Power Plant, entering to the water reservoir of the River Narva. Molecular analyses confirmed the m…

Euclid preparation : XX. The Complete Calibration of the Color–Redshift Relation survey : LBT observations and data release

2022

The Complete Calibration of the Color–Redshift Relation survey (C3R2) is a spectroscopic program designed to empirically calibrate the galaxy color–redshift relation to the Euclid depth (IE = 24.5), a key ingredient for the success of Stage IV dark energy projects based on weak lensing cosmology. A spectroscopic calibration sample that is as representative as possible of the galaxies in the Euclid weak lensing sample is being collected, selecting galaxies from a self-organizing map (SOM) representation of the galaxy color space. Here, we present the results of a near-infrared H- and K-band spectroscopic campaign carried out using the LUCI instruments at the LBT. For a total of 251 galaxies,…

Challenges in the use of Near Infrared Spectroscopy for improving wood quality : A review

2017

Aims of study: Forestry-related companies require quality monitoring methods capable to pass a large number of samples. This review paper is dealing with the utilization of near infrared (NIR) technique for wood analysis. Area of study: We have a global point of view for NIR applications and characterization of different kind of wood species is considered. Material and methods: NIR spectroscopy is a fast, non-destructive technique, applicable to any biological material, demanding little or no sample preparation. NIR spectroscopy and multivariate analysis serve well in laboratories where the conditions are controlled. The main challenges to NIR spectroscopy technique in field conditions are …
