Timetabling RIA in action

We present an Rich Internet Application to create timetabling for real engineering school. In this application, we have resources and constraints. Resources describe the timetable’s context. Constraints are restrictions of resources. All lectures are placed on a timetable composed of time-slots. For timetabling, we use a computational web service written in Prolog. Our application presents two ...

Estuary-ria exchange of cadmium, lead and zinc in the coastal system of the Ria of Vigo (NW Iberian Peninsula)

Little research has been done on the land-sea exchange of trace elements, which is particularly applicable to ria coasts. In particular, trace metal enrichment in the inner part of the Ria of Vigo (the San Simon Inlet) has been observed from sediment studies but there is no information about Cd, Pb and Zn fluxes through the Rande Strait, which is the natural boundary of the estuary-ria water ex...

Once discharged into rivers, lakes or coastal waters, mercury accumulates in sediments and in the aquatic food web (Gonzalez, 1991). Both elemental mercury and its compounds are noxious to all living organisms, and are bioaccumulative and persistent. Meta...
