Most aquatic ecosystems have variable water levels. These
water-level fluctuations (WLF) have multiple effects on the
organisms above and below the waterline. Natural WLF patterns in
lakes guarantee both productivity and biodiversity, while untimely
floods and droughts may have negative effects. Human impacts on WLF
have led to a stabilization of the water levels of many lakes by
hydraulic regulation, untimely drawdown due to water use, or floods
due to water release from hydropower plants in the catchments.
This book provides a first review in this field. It presents
selected papers on the ecological effects of WLF in lakes,
resulting from a workshop at the University of Konstanz in winter
2005. Issues addressed here include the extent of WLF, and analyses
of their effects on different groups of biota from microorganisms
to vertebrates. Applied issues include recommendations for the
hydrological management of regulated lakes to reduce negative
impacts, and a conceptual framework is delivered by an extension of
the floodpulse concept for lakes. Current impacts on water use,
including increasing demands on drinking and irrigation water,
hydropower etc., and climate change effects on WLF make this book
an essential resource for aquatic ecologists, engineers, and
decision-makers dealing with the management of lake ecosystems and
their catchments.

Computer-based technologies for the production and analysis of data
have been an integral part of biological research since the 1990s
at the latest. This not only applies to genomics and its offshoots
but also to less conspicuous subsections such as ecology. But
little consideration has been given to how this new technology has
changed research practically. How and when do data become
questionable? To what extent does necessary infrastructure
influence the research process? What status is given to software
and algorithms in the production and analysis of data? These
questions are discussed by the biologists Philipp Fischer and Hans
Hofmann, the philosopher Gabriele Gramelsberger, the historian of
science and biology Hans-Joerg Rheinberger, the science theorist
Christoph Hoffmann, and the artist Hannes Rickli. The conditions of
experimentation in the digital sphere are examined in four
chapters--"Data," "Software," "Infrastructure," and "in silico"--in
which the different perspectives of the discussion partners
complement one another. Rather than confirming any particular point
of view, Natures of Data deepens understanding of the contemporary
basis of biological research.

Recht, Gewerblichen Rechtsschutz, Internationales Privat- und
Zivilprozessrecht), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Zentraler
Gegenstand der folgenden Untersuchung ist die Frage, welches
materielle Recht anzuwenden ist und welches Gericht daruber
entscheidet, wenn grenzuberschreitend formlose
Immaterialguterrechte verletzt werden. Die folgende Untersuchung
beschaftigt sich mit den Grundfragen der Behandlung von
immateriellen Gutern im internationalen Privatrecht mit dem
Schwerpunkt auf den sogenannten formlosen Immaterialguterrechten.
Zunachst wird eine Einfuhrung in die Arten der formlichen wie der
formlosen Immaterialguterrechte, deren Inhalt, Entstehung und
Schutzwirkungen gegeben, weil sich ihre Besonderheiten im Hinblick
auf das Kollisionsrecht und ihre verfahrensrechtliche Behandlung
ohne ein gewisses Verstandnis fur das Sachrecht schwer verstehen
lassen. Dabei wird auch eine Abgrenzung der formlichen von den
formlosen Immaterialguterrechten vorgenommen. Danach wird zunachst
das Kollisionsrecht der formlichen Immaterialguterrechte
dargestellt, weil in diesem Bereich viele Probleme bereits gelost
bzw. diskutiert wurden. Im Anschluss soll auf das Kollisionsrecht
der formlosen Immaterialguterrechte eingegangen werden. Dabei wird
nach Quellen zunachst im nationalen Recht, danach im
internationalen Recht und schliesslich im europaischen Recht
gesucht. Schwerpunktmassig wird die kollisionsrechtliche
Problematik ihren Ausgangspunkt in der Darstellung der wesentlichen
Aspekte des Schutzlandprinzips als der tragenden Anknupfungsregel
im Immaterialguterrecht behandelt, das aus dem
Territorialitatsprinzip abgeleitet wird. Diesem wird das Prinzip
des Ursprungslandprinzips gegenubergestellt, das Ausfluss des
Universalitatsprinzips ist. Nach der Darstellung der Ergebnisse
wird im Ansch
