An Analysis Of Internal Phosphorus Loading In White Lake, Alan Steinman, Mary Ogdahl

Scientific Technical Reports

An analysis of internal phosphorus loading in White Lake, MI was conducted during the summer, 2006. Sediment cores were removed from 4 sites in White Lake and incubated in the laboratory under aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (without oxygen) conditions. Phosphorus flux from the sediments into the overlaying water column was measured over a 27-day period and compared to rates measured from sediment cores collected previously from Mona and Spring Lakes.

Internal phosphorus loading in White Lake sediments ranged from 1.55 to 7.78 mg TP/m2/d in anaerobic conditions and from -0.18 to 0.14 mg/m2/d in aerobic conditions. The negative value …

Heat Transfer And Flow Characteristics Inside A Gas Turbine Combustor, Yap-Sheng Goh

LSU Master's Theses

Heat transfer and flow characteristics inside a typical can-annulus gas turbine combustor are investigated. This is the first study in a public domain to focus on the convective heat loads to combustor liner due to swirling flow generated by swirler nozzles. The objectives of this study are to physically design an experimental combustor test model, to perform local accurate heat transfer and flow measurements, and to better understand the fundamental thermo-fluid dynamic effects inside a combustor equipped with a swirler nozzle provided by Solar Turbines Inc. The local temperature and heat transfer distribution were determined to locate the heat transfer …

Effects On The Function Of Three Trophic Levels In Marine Plankton Communities Under Stress From The Antifouling Compound Zinc Pyrithione, M. Hjorth, I. Dahllöf, Valery E. Forbes

Valery Forbes Publications

This study aimed to investigate functional responses of natural marine planktonic communities to stress from the antifouling compound zinc pyrithione (ZPT). Isotope labelling techniques (¹⁴C) were applied to study bacterial incorporation of leucine, photosynthetic activity of phytoplankton and grazing of labelled prey by zooplankton communities for 6 days after exposures to nominal concentrations of 0, 5, 25, 50 nM ZPT in a mesocosm experiment in Isefjord, Denmark.

Significant direct effects were visible on chlorophyll α concentrations, which decreased in all exposed communities, to between 48 and 36% of control concentrations on Day 3, 1 day after the last …

Influence Of Biotransformation On Trophic Transfer Of The Pah, Fluoranthene, Annemette Palmqvist, Lene Juel Rasmussen, Valery E. Forbes

Valery Forbes Publications

The persistence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in marine sediments may be influenced by benthic invertebrate bioturbation. Through processes such as deposit-feeding and enhancement of microbial metabolic activity PAHs may be remobilized from the sediment compartment, and either transferred to organisms at higher trophic levels or to the overlying water column, both processes inevitably changing the bioavailability of the PAH. Accumulation of contaminants from one level in the food chain to the next depends on feeding rate and assimilation efficiency, two factors that basically vary with food quality and contaminant type. Though it is generally believed that pre-consumptive biotransformation will …

Servant-Leadership And The New Millennium, Larry Spears

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

The following essay by Larry Spears gives a current history of the work of servant-leadership associated with the Greenleaf Center for ServantLeadership, Westfield, Indiana, United States ofAmerica. Following the essay is an interview of Larry Spears conducted by Barbara Tey, from Malaysia. The interview appeared in the Jan.-March 2006 issue of the Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Management. The 2005 annual international conference on servant-leadership, held in Indianapolis, attained significant reach, with people attending from thirtyfive states and nine countries: Brazil, Canada, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Singapore, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. I think it's important …

Spiritual Capital, Danah Zohar

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

Good morning, everybody. I'm as happy as you are to be at this conference again. I think it's my favorite conference. My second favorite is the conference that Peter Senge runs, every November or December, the Soul Conference or the Systems Theory Conference. What's nice about both of these conferences is that they are more than conferences, they've built a community around them and you see old friends and there's a great spirit of community at the conferences, and that makes them both very special. And the theme of servant-leadership brings out the nicest people. I'm going to talk this …

Magis Leadership: Toward An Active Ontology Of The Heart Through Appreciative Inquiry And Servant-Leadership, Karen Norum

International Journal of Servant-Leadership

There are many emerging models of leadership. Transactional, transformational, command and control, facilitative, situational, contingency, charismatic, servant, relational, strengths-based, values-based, and principled are but a few of them. Many of these models focus on the person who is the leader: the one who is in charge, whom others follow, who holds a certain position in a hierarchy, or who has some sort of influence. The models tend to outline characteristics, behaviors, and attributes of leaders with the focus on individualistic and positional aspects of leadership (Heifetz, 1994; Schall, Ospina, Godsoe, & Dodge, 2004). While this is useful, the focus on …
