Ecological modelling of the phytoplankton community in the northern Adriatic sea

Author(s): Ivano Vascotto (Author), Janja Francé (Supervisor)

Year: 2025

Type: Doctoral dissertation

This dissertation examines the ecological dynamics of phytoplankton communities in the northern Adriatic Sea, focusing on phenology, environmental drivers, and trophodynamics. The complexity of the region, characterized by the richness of phytoplankton communities, environmental variability and intensive human activities, is not seen as an obstacle but as an opportunity to …

Topology-induced phenomena and caloric effects in condensed matter

Author(s): Dejvid Črešnar (Author), Zdravko Kutnjak (Supervisor), Brigita Rožič (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2023

Type: Doctoral dissertation

The first part of the thesis deals with the impact of surface-functionalized nanoparticles (NP) can have on the stability of liquid crystal (LC) phases. Experimental data of NP concentration-driven phase transition between the isotropic and nematic phase in 5OO8 LCs were used to create a minimal mathematical model that would …
