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.

In this thesis, three main questions were addressed using event-related potentials (ERPs): (1) the timing of lexical semantic access, (2) the influence of "top-down" processes on visual word processing, and (3) the influence of "bottom-up" factors on visual word processing. The timing of lexical semantic access was investigated in two studies using different designs. In Study 1,14 participants completed two tasks: a standard lexical decision (LD) task which required a word/nonword decision to each target stimulus, and a semantically primed version (LS) of it using the same category of words (e.g., animal) within each block following which participants made a category judgment. In Study 2, another 12 participants performed a standard semantic priming task, where target stimulus words (e.g., nurse) could be either semantically related or unrelated to their primes (e.g., doctor, tree) but the order of presentation was randomized. We found evidence in both ERP studies that lexical semantic access might occur early within the first 200 ms (at about 170 ms for Study 1 and at about 160 ms for Study 2). Our results were consistent with more recent ERP and eye-tracking studies and are in contrast with the traditional research focus on the N400 component. "Top-down" processes, such as a person's expectation and strategic decisions, were possible in Study 1 because of the blocked design, but they were not for Study 2 with a randomized design. Comparing results from two studies, we found that visual word processing could be affected by a person's expectation and the effect occurred early at a sensory/perceptual stage: a semantic task effect in the PI component at about 100 ms in the ERP was found in Study 1 , but not in Study 2. Furthermore, we found that such "top-down" influence on visual word processing might be mediated through separate mechanisms depending on whether the stimulus was a word or a nonword. "Bottom-up" factors involve inherent characteristics of particular words, such as bigram frequency (the total frequency of two-letter combinations of a word), word frequency (the frequency of the written form of a word), and neighborhood density (the number of words that can be generated by changing one letter of an original word or nonword). A bigram frequency effect was found when comparing the results from Studies 1 and 2, but it was examined more closely in Study 3. Fourteen participants performed a similar standard lexical decision task but the words and nonwords were selected systematically to provide a greater range in the aforementioned factors. As a result, a total of 18 word conditions were created with 18 nonword conditions matched on neighborhood density and neighborhood frequency. Using multiple regression analyses, we foimd that the PI amplitude was significantly related to bigram frequency for both words and nonwords, consistent with results from Studies 1 and 2. In addition, word frequency and neighborhood frequency were also able to influence the PI amplitude separately for words and for nonwords and there appeared to be a spatial dissociation between the two effects: for words, the word frequency effect in PI was found at the left electrode site; for nonwords, the neighborhood frequency effect in PI was fovind at the right elecfrode site. The implications of otir findings are discussed.

A double-blinded, placebo controlled, cross-over design was used to investigate sodium citrate dihydrate (Na-CIT) supplementation improve 200m swimming performance. Ten well-trained, male swimmers (14.9 ± 0.4y; 63.5 ± 4kg) performed four 200m time trials: acute (ACU) supplementation (0.5g/kg), acute placebo (PLC-A), chronic (CHR) (0.1g/kg for 3 days and 0.3g/kg on the 4th day pre-trial), and chronic placebo (PLC-C). Na-CIT was administered 120min pre-trial in solution with 500mL of flavored water; placebo was flavored water. Blood lactate, base excess (BE), bicarbonate, pH, and PCO2 were analyzed at basal, 100min post-ingestion, and 3min post-trial via finger prick. Time, lactate, and rate of perceived exertion were not different between trials. BE and bicarbonate were significantly higher for the ACU and CHR trials compared to placebo. “Responders” improved by 1.03% (P=0.043) and attained significantly higher post-trial lactate concentrations in the ACU versus PLC-A trials and compared to non-responders in the ACU and CHR trials.

This thesis Entitled macrobenthos of the continental margin (200-1000m) of south eastern arabian sea with special reference to polychaetes. The continental margins are geologically complex and hydrodynamically active regions of the ocean, where vital biogeochemical processes take place from a global perspective. The Eastern Arabian Sea is one of the most productive regions of the world, and as a result, vast amount of organic matter is supplied to the sub surface waters and sea bed of the Arabian Sea. In this study, data on faunal abundance, standing crop and faunal composition, together with sedimentary and environmental parameters were collected from three depths (200m, 500m & 1000m) in nine bathymetric transects along the South Eastern Arabian Sea (from Cape Comorin to Karwar) during three surveys. In the present study, five textural classes of sediments were identified from the SEAS margin, viz. sand, silty sand, sandy silt, clayey silt and admixture of sand, silt and clay. The composition of sand was higher in the southern region and decreased progressively towards the north. On the shelf edge and upper slope regions in the south (Cape to Kollam) in particular, sandy sediments dominated .
