Abstract
To determine if an opportunistic macroalga could increase its tissue nitrogen content in response to nutrient pulses forced by the internal tide, independent samples of the green alga Ulva lactuca (Linnaeus), previously cultured in nutrient-poor tanks, were outplanted in the nearshore ocean for 12h deployment periods (8 daylight periods, 7 night periods), at three different depths (1, 5, and 10m), during stratified water column conditions and spring tides. Algal tissue nitrogen and growth weight (before and after each deployment), water-column temperature (continuous), and inorganic water-column nutrient concentrations (taken on 3days during the experiment) were measured. Abrupt drops in temperature (up to 3°C in an hour) occurred twice daily, at 10m and occasionally at 5m depth, associated with the internal tide. Date and deployment depth had significant effects on U. lactuca tissue nitrogen, showing a significant increase for deeper deployments and a positive correlation with the duration of cool water (< 15.8°C, > 1?M NO 3 -) at the deployment depth. On days when temperature remained above 15.8°C at all depths (15.8°C was established as the temperature below which nitrate was above 1?M), no significant increase in tissue nitrogen was detected at any depth. Growth and tissue nitrogen were significantly and inversely correlated for mid-water (5m) and bottom (10m) deployments, but not at the surface. The data support the hypothesis that U. lactuca can increase tissue nitrogen in response to the cold phase of the semidiurnal internal tide.

The participants were six Master Degree students of first semester. Initially there was an argumentation follow-up in 10 discussion forums. A detonator question was shown in each forum. The messages were classified into model of arguments: lineal and chaotic axis, and clinic and emotional axis. Then, a Scale of Satisfaction Level for consensus answer was applied in each discussion forum. The teacher performed small interviews with the students about the success, the problems detected, the solution alternatives found, their emotions, and their learning processes. In all the discussion forums were presented 653 arguments. All the participants showed high rates of lineal and emotional argumentations in comparison to chaotic and clinic argumentations. The greater quantity of arguments and satisfaction level were related in the students' qualitative reports with more meaningful and collaborative learning.",,,,,,,,,"http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12104/41214","http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84896952881&partnerID=40&md5=348b18d4168f345bb37e89992e0ee078",,,,,,,,"3rd International Conference on Education and Information Systems: Technologies and Applications, EISTA 2005, Proceedings",,"259 264",,"2",,"Scopus",,,,,,"Argumentation; Collaborative learning; Discussion forums; Meaningful learning",,,,,,"Emotional argumentation, satisfaction level, and meaningful learning in collaborative tasks in electronic discussion forums",,"Conference Paper"

Here, we report two sisters with YVS who also had papillo-macular atrophic chorioretinopathy with " salt-and-pepper" appearance that could not be attributed to environmental or metabolic causes. Our best hypothesis is that the ocular findings in our two patients are part of the phenotypic manifestations of YVS. We suggest that an extensive ophthalmologic examination should be carried out in all children with YVS in order to define the frequency and nature of the ocular findings in these patients.
