We have recently reported the phenomenon of doubly stochastic resonance [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 227 (2000)], a synthesis of noise-induced transition and stochastic resonance. The essential feature of this phenomenon is that multiplicative noise induces a bimodality and additive noise causes stochastic resonance behavior in the induced structure. In the present paper we outline possible applications of this effect and design a simple lattice of electronic circuits for the experimental realization of doubly stochastic resonance.

We report on deep multi-color imaging (R5sigma = 26) of the Chandra Deep Field South, obtained with the Wide Field Imager (WFI) at the MPG/ESO 2.2 m telescope on La Silla as part of the multi-color survey COMBO-17. As a result we present a catalogue of 63 501 objects in a field measuring 31farcm5 x 30arcmin with astrometry and BVR photometry. A sample of 37 variable objects is selected from two-epoch photometry. We try to give interpretations based on color and variation amplitude.

Ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VT) as fatal cardiac arrhythmias are the main factors triggering sudden cardiac death. The objective of this recurrence quantification analysis approach is to find early signs of sustained VT in patients with an implanted cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). These devices are able to safeguard patients by returning their hearts to a normal rhythm via strong defibrillatory shocks; additionally, they are able to store at least 1000 beat-to-beat intervals immediately before the onset of a life-threatening arrhythmia. We study the

Phytoplankton dynamics in a shallow eutrophic lake were investigated over a 3-year period with respect to environmental forces which drive species composition and diversity. Diversity was calculated on the basis of species as well as on the basis of their functional properties (the C-R-S-concept). Stratification and water column mixing had a strong impact on phytoplankton composition. Application of a similarity-diversity model revealed that a high diversity was a transient non-stable state, whereas drastic changes or long-lasting stable environmental conditions are characterized by low diversity. This effect was more pronounced when the diversity was calculated on the basis of the phytoplankton species functional properties. Thus, this functional approach supports the intermediate disturbance hypothesis from field data.
Der Aufsatz stellt die geschichtliche Entwicklung der Menschenrechtsidee überblickartig dar, beschreibt Stationen ihrer Verwirklung und erläutert den gegenwärtigen völkerrechtlichen Menschenrechtsschutz. Die normativen Grundlagen und Möglichkeiten der Überwachung der so gesetzten Standards werden beschrieben. Abschließend nimmt der Aufsatz aktuelle Herausforderungen an den Menschenrechtsschutz zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends in den Blick. Es handelt sich um die gekürzte Fassung eines Beitrages, der im Sommer 2001 in einem Sammelband veröffentlicht wird.

In the roughly 20 years of its existence as an observational science, gravitational lensing has established itself as a valuable tool in many astrophysical fields. In the introduction of this review we briefly present the basics of lensing. Then it is shown that the two propagation effects, lensing and scintillation, have a number of properties in common. In the main part various lensing phenomena are discussed with emphasis on recent observations.
Microlensing of Quasars
(2001)
Microlens-induced variability in multiple quasars can be used to study two cosmological issues of great interest, the size and brightness profile of quasars on one hand, and the distribution of compact (dark) matter along the line of sight on the other. Here a summary is given of recent theoretical progress as well as observational evidence for quasar microlensing, plus a discussion of desired observations and required theoretical studies.

The filtration rate of Daphnia galeata was determined in in situ experiments in Bautzen Reservoir and in laboratory experiments, where daphnids were exposed to filtrates that previously contained either natural phytoplankton or cultured eukaryotic algae (Scenedesmus obliquus or Asterionella formosa), respectively. Individual filtration rate (FR) was measured using fluorescent beads, taking into account ingested beads in the gut only. Compared to heated control treatments (100°C), dissolved compounds released by the nutritious cultured algae during the preconditioning phase or by the natural phytoplankton assemblages from Bautzen Reservoir strongly reduced the filtration rate of D. galeata (down to 60 %). Heating deactivated these dissolved compounds. A significant correlation was found between primary production measured in situ and the reduction of FR in the filtrate of reservoir water, indicating that extra- cellular products released during photosynthesis triggered the reduction of the filtration rate. The ratio of ingested to collected beads was used to quantify the proportion of food, which was not only collected but passed the mouth of D. galeata. The ratio of ingestion to collection was compared between filtered and unfiltered reservoir water both media identical with respect to the concentration of dissolved compounds, whereas other factors (e. g. food concentration, temperature, filtration rate) were different. The changes in this ratio between filtered and unfiltered reservoir water suggest that D. galeata is capable of a chemosensory control of the ingestion behaviour by detecting external metabolites.
The factors that determine the efficiency of energy transfer in aquatic food webs have been investigated for many decades. The plant-animal interface is the most variable and least predictable of all levels in the food web. In order to study determinants of food quality in a large lake and to test the recently proposed central importance of the long-chained eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) at the pelagic producer-grazer interface, we tested the importance of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) at the pelagic producer-consumer interface by correlating sestonic food parameters with somatic growth rates of a clone of Daphnia galeata. Daphnia growth rates were obtained from standardized laboratory experiments spanning one season with Daphnia feeding on natural seston from Lake Constance, a large pre-alpine lake. Somatic growth rates were fitted to sestonic parameters by using a saturation function. A moderate amount of variation was explained when the model included the elemental parameters carbon (r2 = 0.6) and nitrogen (r2 = 0.71). A tighter fit was obtained when sestonic phosphorus was incorporated (r2 = 0.86). The nonlinear regression with EPA was relatively weak (r2 = 0.77), whereas the highest degree of variance was explained by three C18-PUFAs. The best (r2 = 0.95), and only significant, correlation of Daphnia's growth was found with the C18-PUFA a-linolenic acid (a-LA; C18:3n-3). This correlation was weakest in late August when C:P values increased to 300, suggesting that mineral and PUFA- limitation of Daphnia's growth changed seasonally. Sestonic phosphorus and some PUFAs showed not only tight correlations with growth, but also with sestonic alpha-LA content. We computed Monte Carlo simulations to test whether the observed effects of alpha-LA on growth could be accounted for by EPA, phosphorus, or one of the two C18-PUFAs, stearidonic acid (C18:4n-3) and linoleic acid (C18:2n-6). With >99% probability, the correlation of growth with alpha-LA could not be explained by any of these parameters. In order to test for EPA limitation of Daphnia's growth, in parallel with experiments on pure seston, growth was determined on seston supplemented with chemostat-grown, Plimited Stephanodiscus hantzschii, which is rich in EPA. Although supplementation increased the EPA content 80-800x, no significant changes in the nonlinear regression of the growth rates with alpha-LA were found, indicating that growth of Daphnia on pure seston was not EPA limited. This indicates that the two fatty acids, EPA and alpha-LA, were not mutually substitutable biochemical resources and points to different physiological functions of these two PUFAs. These results support the PUFA-limitation hypothesis for sestonic C:P < 300 but are contrary to the hypothesis of a general importance of EPA, since no evidence for EPA limitation was found. It is suggested that the resource ratios of EPA and alpha-LA rather than the absolute concentrations determine which of the two resources is limiting growth.
