    Description / Table of Contents: Isotactic polypropylen films were highly stretched and annealed during 20 s under stretching tension at temperatures up to 206°C at maximum. The melting behaviour of these films was investigated by using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC  -  1 B). Two melting peaks at about 165 and 174°C respectively, were observed. The heat of fusion of the former peak predominates, if the film temperature during annealing exceeds 190°C. Its position is independent of the stretching ratio. This melting peak is assigned to crystalline domains, which show a long identity period of 140 to 160 Å and corresponds to an amorphous orientation factor of 0 to -0.2. The higher melting peak appears during stretching. This peak is assigned to crystalline domains, which show a long identity period longer than 200 Å and corresponds to an amorphous orientation factor of 0.4 to 0.5. This fraction refers obviously to the paracrystalline building blocks of the microfibrils, which are transformed at a film temperature higher than 190°C to a greater part into smaller lamellaforming paracrystallites. The transformation of the fibrillar into a lamellar texture was visualised by transmission electronmicroscopy.
    Notes: Isotaktische Polypropylen-Folien wurden hoch verstreckt und unter Streckspannung bei Temperaturen bis maximal 206°C während 20 s getempert. Das Schmelzverhalten dieser Folien wurde mittels DSC verfolgt. Es wurden zwei Schmelzpeaks registriert, die bei ca. 165°C und 174°C auftreten. Die Schmelzenthalpie des erstgenannten Peaks überwiegt, wenn die Folientemperatur beim Tempern auf über 190°C angehoben wird. Seine Lage ist unabhängig vom Streckverhältnis. Dieser Schmelzpeak konnte einer kristallinen Phase mit einer Langperiode von 140 bis 160 Å bei nichtorientierten, zwischenkristallinen Bereichen zugeordnet werden. Der 2. Schmelzpeak entsteht beim Verstrecken. Seine Temperatur steigt mit zunehmendem Streckverhältnis an. Er wurde auf eine kristalline Phase mit einer Langperiode von über 200 Å bei einer mittleren amorphen Orientierungsfunktion der zwischenkristallinen Regionen von 0,4-0,5 zurückgeführt. Bei dieser Fraktion handelt es sich offenbar um die parakristallinen Bausteine der Mikrofibrillen, welche sich bei Folientemperaturen von über 190°C zum größeren Teil in kleinere Lamellen-bildende Parakristalle umwandeln. Der übergang der Fibrillen- in eine Lamellentextur wurde elektronenmikroskopisch sichtbar gemacht.

    Description: The so-called ‘turbulence incubator’ overcomes an essential disadvantage of static in situ incubations where at high irradiances an artificial photoinhibition is caused by neglecting turbulent mixing in the upper water column. It is operated on deck and simulates the changing light conditions for vertically mixed phytoplankton cells by moving the sample bottles horizontally through a circular water bath covered by a glass lid of neutral optical density filters. In this way the exponentially decreasing irradiance within the euphotic zone is simulated and photoinhibition near the surface is avoided. A crucial point is the choice of revolution rate for simulating turbulent mixing under natural conditions. The incubator is characterized by its handy size, a relatively simple and inexpensive construction and a battery-driven motor. It can thus even be operated on small vessels without an electric generator. The incubator is especially suited for vertically mixed waters such as shallow bays, tidal estuaries and rivers. Its reliability was successfully tested by a simultaneous comparison with in situ measurements at various stations representing different water types and environmental conditions, ranging from the turbid River Elbe to the clear open Baltic Sea. In 9 out of 11 experiments, higher primary production rates were obtained in the turbulence incubator than in static in situ incubations. The majority of the latter were characterized by a pronounced photoinhibition in the upper two incubation depths representing the 100 and 50% light levels. The average rate increase amounted to 22%, with a range between 11 and 53% depending on light attenuation and irradiance.

    Description: In an assessment of non-indigenous species transported by international ship traffic to German waters, commissioned by the German Federal Environmental Agency, the survival of tropical plankton organisms in ballast water was studied by accompanying a container vessel on its 23-day voyage from Singapore to Bremerhaven in Germany. Two tanks, one filled off Singapore and the other off Colombo, Sri Lanka, were monitored for their phyto- and zooplankton content by daily sampling. As already reported in previous studies, species abundance and diversity, especially of zooplankton, decreased sharply during the first days, and only a few specimens survived the whole cruise. The contents of the Colombo tank, however, changed dramatically during the last week. The harpacticoid copepod, Tisbe graciloides, increased its abundance by a factor of 100 from 0.1 to 10ind. l–1 within a few days. This is the first time that a ballast water organism has been found to multiply at such a high rate. Opportunistic species such as Tisbe are apparently able to thrive and propagate in ballast water tanks under certain conditions. Ballast water tanks may thus serve as incubators for certain species depending on their characteristics.
