Reshef et al. presented a novel measure of dependence the maximal information coefficient (MIC) aimed to capture a wide range of associations between pairs of variables, and a statistical test for independence based on MIC. They defined a concept of equitability and claim that non-equitable methods are less practical for data exploration. By simple power comparisons, we show that this conclusio...

Despite policies inplemented to minimise Swidden Agriculture (SA) practices, it remains in semi-arid areas of Timor Island. A study SA was conducted Manikin Watershed (MW) West during 2017 2019 oder understand the nature using Agro-ecosystems approach and analyse strengths for sustainable upland farming management. The research applied survey method data collection. Qualitative analysed themati...

Quantification of soil biological status, through investigation edaphic communities’ composition, constitutes an important factor for the assessment grassland ecosystems, including their protection. The structure invertebrate communities was investigated five grasslands under different chemical and organic treatments, first time in Romania. In order to accomplish this task, some structural para...

Ecological indices are used in the study of phytoplankton because they related to their productivity and can describe stresses caused by anthropogenic impacts on aquatic environment. The aim this was evaluate structure application ecological monitoring water quality public supply reservoirs Belém (Pará). Monthly sampling occurred four stations Bologna Água Preta from January October/2019, deter...

Spiders have been used to evaluate changes in systems by anthropization effect, some species showing sensitivity gradual and drastic such as urbanization, other documented tolerant this effect. The goal of work was describe the change spider community relation age buildings. at west Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico. Three categories construction time neighboring vegetation pre-urbanization environmen...

Abstract The aim of the present study was to establish effect management type and environmental variables on structure, abundance species richness soil mites (Acari: Mesostigmata) in twelve urban green areas Bucharest-Romania. Three categories ecosystem based upon were investigated: protected area, managed (metropolitan, municipal district parks) unmanaged areas. which analysed were: air temper...

The Pacific Guidelines for Healthy Living recommend consuming a minimum of five servings fruit and/or non-starchy vegetables each day, however, diets in Solomon Islands stray from the regional and global trend healthy high fresh vegetables. Our study drew on multiple sources data food systems framework to show country-wide picture role benefits offered by Islands. First, we analysed vegetable c...

We study the problem of fair and efficient allocation a set indivisible goods to agents with additive valuations using popular fairness notions envy-freeness up one good (EF1) equitability (EQ1) in conjunction Pareto-optimality (PO). There exists pseudo-polynomial time algorithm compute an EF1+PO allocation, non-constructive proof existence allocations that are both EF1 fractionally Pareto-opti...

Fish assemblage was investigated during the study of longitudinal profile of the Ehania River Basin in south-eastern Côte d’Ivoire. This area is subjected to intense human activities with many plantations (palm tree, banana, pineapple, coffee, rubber and cocoa). Samples were collected, with gillnets of different mesh sizes, through 6 sampling surveys during dry and rainy seasons from February 2...

The study comparatively assessed the impacts of farm activities on the abundance and diversity of soil arthropods and soil physico-chemical parameters of the Practical Year Training Programme (PYTP) farmlands, University of Ibadan, South Western Nigeria. Soil arthropods were collected from September, 2010 to February, 2011 in five sampling sites of PYTP farmlands using Berlese Tullgren Extracti...
