America is a weight-obsessed nation. Over the last decade, there's been an explosion of concern in the U.S. about people getting fatter. Plaintiffs are now filing lawsuits arguing that discrimination against fat people should be illegal. Fat Rights asks the first provocative questions that need to be raised about adding weight to lists of currently protected traits like race, gender, and disability. Is body fat an indicator of a character flaw or of incompetence on the job? Does it pose risks or costs to employers they should be allowed to evade?

There is increasing evidence that cyanobacterial blooms have increased globally and are likely to expand in water resources as a result of climate change. Of most concern are cyanotoxins, along with the mechanisms that induce their release and determine their fate in the aquatic environment. These secondary metabolites pose a potential hazard to human health and agricultural and aquaculture products that are intended for animal and human consumption; therefore, strict and reliable control of cyanotoxins is crucial for assessing risk. In this direction, a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that determine cyanobacterial bloom structure and toxin production has become the target of management practices. This Special Issue, entitled "Advancing Knowledge on Cyanobacterial Blooms in Freshwaters", aims to bring together recent multi- and interdisciplinary research, from the field to the laboratory and back again, driven by working hypotheses based on any aspect of mitigating cyanobacterial blooms, from ecological theory to applied research.Biology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscair temperatureantioxidative enzymesbacterial communityBalkanbest management practice (BMP)bloombloomscaffeic acidclimate changecontrolcyanobacteriacyanobacteria communitycyanobacterial bloomcyanobacterial growthdissolved inorganic nitrogendissolved organic carbonDolichospermum lemmermanniiecological functionecosystemsenvironmental changeenvironmental factorseutrophicationfreshwaterfunctional groupsharmful cyanobacterial bloom (CyanoHAB)human and animal healthhydrodynamicLake GuchenghuLake Ludošlogistic equationman-made surface water channelmass transfermax algal populationmicrocystinMicrocystis aeruginosamitten crab culturemodelnestednessnon-point source (NPS)non-toxicnutrientsOregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ)oxidative stressphenyl-acyl compoundsphosphonatephytoplanktonpoint source (PS)potentially harmful speciesproper functioning condition (PFC)Pseudanabaena galeataredox microcystin LRseasonal successionseasonal variationstoichiometrystream-lake linkagestress responsessubsurface methane maximumsubtropical reservoirSynechococcustaxonomictotal maximum daily load (TMDL)toxinstransboundarywater qualityBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalKormas Konstantinos Aredt1324222Vardaka ElisabethedtKormas Konstantinos ArothVardaka ElisabethothBOOK9910557900103321Advancing Knowledge on Cyanobacterial Blooms in Freshwaters3036066UNINA
