In the paper set of models that take into account various mechanisms for ectokrine regulation of phytoplankton growth are proposed and studied. The considered models are following: with a nonlinear dependence of phytoplankton growth rate on the concentration of the metabolite in the environment; with a metabolite, which increases both the growth rate and mortality of the phytoplankton; with two different metabolites, one of which increases the rate of growth of phytoplankton, and the second - is reduced. These models are modifications of the classical space-time model of the dynamics of phytoplankton, linking change in its density and the concentration of nutrients in space and time, which do not consider the mechanism of ectokrine growth regulation. By the means of the model it has been shown, that the metabolites secreted by algae are able to stabilize the growth of phytoplankton in conditions of excessive nutrient availability.

Global climate change induced by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (especially CO2) is expected to include changes in precipitation, wind speed, incoming solar radiation, and air temperature. These major climate variables directly influence water quality in lakes by altering changes in flow and water temperature balance. High concentration of nutrient enrichment and expected variability of climate can lead to periodic phytoplankton blooms and an alteration of the neutral trophic balance. As a result, dissolved oxygen levels, with low concentrations, can fluctuate widely and algal productivity may reach critical levels. In this work, we will present: 1) recent results of GCMs climate scenarios downscaling project that was held at the University of Derby, UK.; 2) current/future comparative results of a new mathematical lake eutrophication model (LEM) in which output of phytoplankton growth rate and dissolved oxygen will be presented for Suwa lake in Japan as a case study. The model parameters were calibrated for the period of 1973–1983 and validated for the period of 1983–1993. Meterologic, hydrologic, and lake water quality data of 1990 were selected for the assessment analysis. Statistical relationships between seven daily meteorological time series and three airflow indices were used as a means for downscaling daily outputs of Hadley Centre Climate Model (HadCM2SUL) to the station sub-grid scale.

AbstractWe consider a space-time random field on ${{\mathbb{R}^d} \times {\mathbb{R}}}$ given as an integral of a kernel function with respect to a Lévy basis with a convolution equivalent Lévy measure. The field obeys causality in time and is thereby not continuous along the time axis. For a large class of such random fields we study the tail behaviour of certain functionals of the field. It turns out that the tail is asymptotically equivalent to the right tail of the underlying Lévy measure. Particular examples are the asymptotic probability that there is a time point and a rotation of a spatial object with fixed radius, in which the field exceeds the level x, and that there is a time interval and a rotation of a spatial object with fixed radius, in which the average of the field exceeds the level x.

The Gödel space-time model displays an intrinsic rotation of matter, which is responsible for some fascinating characteristics. It is a theoretical model of a possible, though not the actual, universe.

Since the creation of GR and subsequent works in cosmology, the question of the curvature of space in the Universe is considered one of the most important and debated to this day. This is evident, because the curvature of space depends whether the Universe expands, contracts or is static. These discussions allowed the author to propose a paradoxical idea: simultaneous existence in the Universe of three interconnected space-times (positive, negative and zero curvature) and on this basis, to develop a theory in which each space-time plays its own role and develops in a strict accordance with its sign of curvature. The three space-time model of the structure of the Universe, proposed by the author, allows to solve many fundamental problems of modern cosmology and theoretical physics and creates the basis for building a unified physical theory (including one that unites GR and quantum physics).

We have investigated perfect fluid model in Brans–Dicke theory for Bianchi VI 0 space–time and have obtained exact analytical solutions considering barotropic equation of state. These solutions have been analyzed for different values of the parameters involved and some of them have shown a period of exponential expansion.
