We report a 40 year record of eutrophication and hypoxia on an estuarine ecosystem and its recovery from hypereutrophication. After decades of high inorganic nutrient concentrations and recurring anoxia and hypoxia, we observe a paradoxical increase in chlorophyll-a concentrations with decreasing nutrient inputs. We hypothesise that algal growth was inhibited due to hypereutrophication, either by elevated ammonium concentrations, severe hypoxia or the production of harmful substances in such a reduced environment. We study the dynamics of a simple but realistic mathematical model, incorporating the assumption of algal growth inhibition. It shows a high algal biomass, net oxygen production equilibrium with low ammonia inputs, and a low algal biomass, net oxygen consumption equilibrium with high ammonia inputs. At intermediate ammonia inputs it displays two alternative stable states. Although not intentional, the numerical output of this model corresponds to observations, giving extra support for assumption of algal growth inhibition. Due to potential algal growth inhibition, the recovery of hypereutrophied systems towards a classical eutrophied state, will need reduction of waste loads below certain thresholds and will be accompanied by large fluctuations in oxygen concentrations. We conclude that also flow-through systems, heavily influenced by external forcings which partly mask internal system dynamics, can display multiple stable states.

The objective of the thesis is primarily to conform and encode a digital signal to be controlled by software. The idea is to transport today’s tracesignal through the IP-network instead of cable-net. In this report I will suggest a possible solution to get a fully passed result with no peculiar time delay. I will also suggest some ideas for a future work with the new tracesystem.

Nowadays the designs of HW/SW are extremely complex. HW/SW co-verification is really difficult, consequently the new design layer, Electronic-System Level (ESL), is proposed to replace the original design flow. Today¡¦s ESL can verify the whole system simulation include the Processor, Bus, Memory¡K such as the HWs. It also can run a small program on the system. But it is hard to verify the larger program - such as the operation system because the limitations of the simulation speed. Currently some people proposed the QEMU-SystemC virtual platform. It can greatly speed up the CPU simulation speed. But the abstract simulated CPU has no timing information. It is infeasible to explore the system execution time and performance. We proposed the method: CPU, Cache, TLB and SDRAM with timing model; connect the CPU and the designed HW in TLM bus module in the HW/SW co-simulation. We can analyze the performance in the estimated timing information, and it will not take many simulation times. In addition, we developed the analysis program to show the execution time in each program block. It can help designer to locate the performance bottleneck quickly in the complex HW/SW. A case study is the 3D graphic SoC. We find the performance bottleneck in HW/SW design according the performance information purposed by our work.

ABSTRACT NEOTECTONICS OF THE KARAMIK GRABEN-AFYON-(ISPARTA ANGLE), SW TURKEY &Ccedil / i&ccedil / ek, Aydin M.Sc., Department of Geological Engineering Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Ali Ko&ccedil / yigit July 2009, 98 pages The Karamik Graben (KG) is 6-17-km-wide, 29-km-long and NNE-SSWtrending active depression located within the Isparta Angle of the Southwestern Turkey extensional neotectonic domain. The KG is bounded by ENE-SSWtrending Karaca&ouml / ren fault zone to the south, the NNE-SSW-trending Ko&ccedil / beyli- Akkonak fault zone to the east, the WNW-ESE-trending AkSehir fault zone to the north, and the NE-SW to NNE-SSW-trending Devederesi fault zone to the west. The KG contains two graben infills separated by an angular unconformity: (1) Middle Miocene-Middle Pliocene deformed infill, and (2) the Upper Pliocenerecent non-deformed infill. Some geological structures reveal that the older infill was accumulated under the control of an extensional tectonic regime (phase-I extension). Analysis of NW-SE-trending folds and some strike-slip faults indicate that the older infill deformed by a short-term NE-SW-directed compression. This contractional event is the last record of the paleotectonic period. Some geological and geophysical evidence indicate that the younger infill has been deposited under the control of an extensional tectonic regime (phase-II extension). Analysis of some slickensides implies that the current tectonic regime is being characterized by a multi-directional extension in predominantly N-S, E-W and NW-SE directions. This multi-directional extension dominates the Plio- Quaternary neotectonic period initiated Late Pliocene. Total throw amounts accumulated along the margin boundary faults imply that subsidence rates are ~0.15 mm/yr and ~0.21 mm/yr since Late Pliocene. Some of the northern margin-boundary faults of the KG reactivated during the neotectonic period as evidenced by 2002.02.02 Mw = 6.5 &Ccedil / ay earthquake. However, the rest of these faults are still active and they keep their nature of seismic gap.

<p> </p><p>Modern nuclear and particle physics experiments run at a very high reaction rate and are able to deliver a data rate of up to hundred GBytes/s.  This data rate is far beyond the storage and on-line analysis capability. Fortunately physicists have only interest in a very small proportion among the huge amounts of data. Therefore in order to select the interesting data and reject the background by sophisticated pattern recognition processing, it is essential to realize an efficient data acquisition and trigger system which results in a reduced data rate by several orders of magnitude. Motivated by the requirements from multiple experiment applications, we are developing a high-end reconfigurable computation platform for data acquisition and triggering. The system consists of a scalable number of compute nodes, which are fully interconnected by high-speed communication channels. Each compute node features 5 Xilinx Virtex-4 FX60 FPGAs and up to 10 GBytesDDR2 memory. A hardware/software co-design approach is proposed to develop custom applications on the platform, partitioning performance-critical calculation to the FPGA hardware fabric while leaving flexible and slow controls to the embedded CPU plus the operating system. The system is expected to be high-performance and general-purpose for various applications especially in the physics experiment domain.</p><p>As a case study, the particle track reconstruction algorithm for HADES has been developed and implemented on the computation platform in the format of processing engines. The Tracking Processing Unit (TPU) recognizes peak bins on the projection plane and reconstructs particle tracks in realtime. Implementation results demonstrate its acceptable resource utilization and the feasibility to implement the module together with the sys-tem design on the FPGA. Experimental results show that the online track reconstruction computation achieves 10.8 - 24.3 times performance acceleration per TPU module when compared to the software solution on a Xeon2.4 GHz commodity server.</p>

A reação das plantas foi avaliada periodicamente por 30 dias. Ao final desse período, as plantas assintomáticas foram confirmadas como resistentes, mediante DAS-ELISA. A resistência na maioria dos materiais foi de amplo espectro (efetiva contra todos isolados), porém em alguns casos a resistência foi do tipo isolado-es pecífica. Os materiais mais promissores foram os acessos PI 126928, LA 444/1, LA 371 e PI 126944 de L. peruvianum e LA 130 e LA 2753 de L. chilense. Esses materiais constituem fontes de resistência alternativas para o manejo das tospoviroses do tomateiro. O estudo de herança da resistência em L. hirsutum PI 134417 indicou que a resistência nessa fonte é condicionada por dois genes independentes, um dominante e um recessivo. Num teste de alelismo, o gene dominante segregou independentemente do gene Sw-5, indicando que são genes distintos. Em L. peruvianum PI 126928, a resistência segregou como uma característica condicionada por dois ou mais genes dominantes não ligados. Na terceira etapa do trabalho, comparou-se o nível de conservação de alelos do loco Sw-5 em Lycopersicon spp. Os alelos foram obtidos mediante PCR de longo alcance, utilizando-se o sistema ELONGASE TM (Gibco-BRL) para amplificação. Nas reações de amplificação foram utilizadas três combinações de oligonucleotídeos desenhados com base na seqüência do gene Sw-5. Como molde foi utilizado DNA extraído de plantas cuja reação a tospovírus já era conhecida. Foram obtidos 16 alelos do loco Sw-5, provenientes de quatro espécies do gênero Lycopersicon. Após uma pré-caracterização mediante clivagem com enzimas de restrição, 10 clones foram selecionados para seqüenciamento. A análise de seqüência dos alelos revelou identidade de nucleotídeos superior a 91% para a ORF completa. Quando a comparação foi realizada para os diferentes domínios que compõem o gene Sw-5, observou-se que as maiores divergências residem nas extremidades 5’ e 3’ do gene. A comparação entre as proteínas codificadas pelo alelo Sw-5 1 (confere resistência) e seu alelo sw-5 2 (confere suscetibilidade) revelou 53 substituições ao nível de aminoácidos. Destas substituições, 14 são não-sinônimas e se concentram na extremidade amino e nas LRR, indicando o provável envolvimento dessas regiões na especificidade da resistência. A análise funcional dos alelos do loco Sw-5 e a construção de quimeras entre os alelos Sw-5 e sw-5 2 estão em andamento e auxiliarão a estabelecer as bases moleculares da resistência do tomateiro a tospovírus. / Lycopersicon peruvianum, L. chilense and L. hirsutum germplasm was inoculated with five isolates from the tospovirus species Tomato spotted wilt virus , Tomato chlorotic spot virus , Chrysanthemum stem necrosis virus, and Groundnut ringspot virus. Several introductions showed resistance to all isolates. However, in some cases, resistance isolate-specific was also observed. PI 126928, LA 444/1, LA 371 and PI 126944 of L. peruvianum and LA 130 and LA 2753 of L. chilense were the most resistant materials. Inheritance studies showed that two independent genes, one dominant and one recessive, control the PI 134417 resistance. Allelism tests revealed that this dominant gene is not an allele of the Sw-5 locus. The resistance derived from PI 126928 segregated as a trait controlled by two or more non-linked dominant genes. Sixteen alleles of the Sw-5 locus were PCR-amplified from four Lycopersicon species, cloned and sequenced. The alleles possess more than 91% of identity at nucleotide level; the largest divergence was observed in the 5 ́and 3 ́ extremities. Sequence comparisons between the resistance allele Sw-5 1 and the susceptible allele Sw-5 2, revealed 53 amino acid substitutions; fourteen substitutions are non-synonymous and located at the amino and carboxi terminus of the protein. The functional analysis of the other alleles and the construction of chimeras between Sw-5 1 and Sw-5 2 will allow to identify the protein region involved in the resistance specificity.

For demanding applications, for example image or video processing, there may be computations that aren’t very suitable for digital signal processors. While a DSP processor is appropriate for some tasks, the instruction set could be extended in order to achieve higher performance for the tasks that such a processor normally isn’t actually design for. The platform used in this project is flexible in the sense that new hardware can be designed to speed up certain computations. This thesis analyzes the computational complex parts of JPEG2000. In order to achieve sufficient performance for JPEG2000, there may be a need for hardware acceleration. First, a JPEG2000 decoder was implemented for a DSP processor in assembler. When the firmware had been written, the cycle consumption of the parts was measured and estimated. From this analysis, the bottlenecks of the system were identified. Furthermore, new processor instructions are proposed that could be implemented for this system. Finally the performance improvements are estimated.
