Emergence of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria from Coastal Environment – A Review

New Developments in Environment Machines

In this paper we discuss and compare abstract machines for the lambda-calculus, implementing various evaluation strategies. Starting from the well-known Categorical abstract machine (CAM) and Krivine’s abstract machine (KAM), we develop two families of machines that differ in the way they treat environments. The first family is inspired by the work on closed reduction strategies, whereas the se...

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and eutrophication in the coastal marine environment.

The distribution of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus and bioassay experiments both show that nitrogen is the critical limiting factor to algal growth and eutrophication in coastal marine waters. About twice the amount of phosphate as can be used by the algae is normally present. This surplus results from the low nitrogen to phosphorus ratio in terrigenous contributions, including human waste, ...

Trace Metal Behavior in Mediterranean-Climate Coastal Bay: El-mex Bay, Egypt and its Coastal Environment

The distribution of heavy metals in El-Mex Bay located in Northern Egypt was studied. Eight metals (Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Zn, Pb, Mn and Fe) were determined in water, Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) and sediments. The Bay presents higher metal concentrations in aqueous Cd, Co and Pb are above the chronic freshwater quality criteria for aquatic life. Most of the dissolved trace metals displayed a n...

Understanding and managing human threats to the coastal marine environment.

Coastal marine habitats at the interface of land and sea are subject to threats from human activities in both realms. Researchers have attempted to quantify how these various threats impact different coastal ecosystems, and more recently have focused on understanding the cumulative impact from multiple threats. Here, the top threats to coastal marine ecosystems and recent efforts to understand ...
