Variación estacional del fitoplancton en el Área del Callao durante El Niño 1987 (10-200 mn)

Se analizó la distribución espacio temporal de la abundancia fitoplanctónica, asociándola con la temperatura, salinidad, nutrientes y clorofila "a" en el perfil Callao 12 ºS, durante el año 1987. Se determinó la estructura de las asociaciones del fitoplancton mediante la composición específica, la riqueza específica (S), diversidad (H') y la dominancia ( D ) . La variación anual fitoplanctónica presentó un comportamiento similar al ciclo anual de producción del mar peruano, con dos picos de abundancia; el primero en primavera y el segundo en verano. Los eventos de surgencias que enriquecen de nutrientes las aguas del área del Callao son los responsables de que en esta zona se hayan registrado las concentraciones más altas de fitoplancton. Las diatomeas, los cocolitofóridos y los fitoflagelados fueron los componentes dominantes en los muestreos; siendo los dinoflagelados y los silicoflagelados ligeramente abundantes en el verano. La composición específica arrojó un total de 172 especies, comprendidos en 91 diatomeas, 52 dinoflagelados, 21 cocolitofóridos, 6 fitoflagelados y 2 silicoflagelados . Las especies Thalassiosira mínima, Skeletonema costatum, Nitzschia bicapitata, Nitzschia closterium, Navícula sp ., Guinardia delicatula, Gymnodinium splendens, Emiliania huxleyi y Eutreptiella gimnastica, fueron características de la temporada de la Primavera y Verano, mientras que Planktoniella sol, Rhizosolenia bergonii, Gymnodinium sp. y Nonada sp. lo fueron para la temporada del Otoño e Invierno. La variación de la diversidad específica y la dominancia estuvo relacionada por la influencia del fenómeno El Niño, así tenemos que durante la época de El Niño hasta el invierno de 1987 se observaron valores altos de diversidad y baja dominancia en la zona costera indicando una comunidad fitoplanctónica de etapa avanzada de la sucesión ecológica . El evento "El Niño" 1987, provocó una notable caída de la abundancia fitoplanctónica, desde Noviembre de 1986 hasta Marzo de 1987. Los indicios de recuperación del fitoplancton se observaron a partir de setiembre de 1987, habiéndose recuperado parcialmente en Primavera del mismo año. Durante el período 1987, Emiliania huxleyi, Caloiosolenia murrayi y el grupo de los Fitoflagelados fueron los taxas predominantes.

Breakthrough in Superconductors (1987)

Physics professors Frans Koffyberg (right), Fereidoon Razavi (middle), and Bozidar Mitrovic (left) discover a new superconductor. A superconductor is a material that conducts electricity at very low temperatures with zero electrical resistance. The Brock researchers found that a compound of the metals Barium, Lanthanum, Copper, and Oxygen become a superconductor at 30 degrees absolute, which is a record high temperature.

Openness and privacy in Ontario: an evaluation of the implementation of FIPPA : (The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 1987, Chapter 25 and Ontario Regulation 532/87) /

Since the early 1970's, Canadians have expressed many concerns about the growth of government and its impact on their daily lives. The public has requested increased access to government documents and improved protection of the personal information which is held in government files and data banks. At the same time, both academics and practitioners in the field of public administration have become more interested in the values that public servants bring to their decisions and recommendations. Certain administrative values, such as accountability and integrity, have taken on greater relative importance. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the implementation of Ontario's access and privacy law. It centres on the question of whether or not the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, 1987, (FIPPA) has answered the demand for open access to government while at the same time protecting the personal privacy of individual citizens. It also assesses the extent to which this relatively new piece of legislation has made a difference to the people of Ontario. The thesis presents an overview of the issues of freedom of information and protection of privacy in Ontario. It begins with the evolution of the legislation and a description of the law itself. It focuses on the structures and processes which have been established to meet the procedural and administrative demands of the Act. These structures and processes are evaluated in two ways. First, the thesis evaluates how open the Ontario government has become and, second, it determines how Ill carefully the privacy rights of individuals are safeguarded. An analytical framework of administrative values is used to evaluate the overall performance of the government in these two areas. The conclusion is drawn that, overall, the Ontario government has effectively implemented the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, particularly by providing access to most government-held documents. The protection of individual privacy has proved to be not only more difficult to achieve, but more difficult to evaluate. However, the administrative culture of the Ontario bureaucracy is shown to be committed to ensuring that the access and privacy rights of citizens are respected.
