Macrophyte invasive alien species (IAS) fitness is often hypothesised to be associated with beneficial environmental conditions (environmental matching) or species-poor communities. However, positive correlations between macrophyte IAS abundance and native plant richness can also arise, due habitat heterogeneity (defined here as variation in abiotic biotic over space time). We analysed survey p...

The issue Consistency of corpus annotation is an essential property for the many uses of annotated corpora in computational and theoretical linguistics. While some research addresses the detection of inconsistencies in part-of-speech and other positional annotation (van Halteren, 2000; Eskin, 2000; Dickinson and Meurers, 2003a), only recently has there been some work in detecting errors in synt...

The problem studied in this paper is as follows Consider a le stored in contiguous space on disk Given a list of pages to be retrieved from the le what is the fastest way of retrieving them It is assumed that adjacent pages on disk can be read with a single read request The straight forward solution is to read the desired pages one by one However if two or more pages are located close to each o...

To evaluate the level of glutathione (GSH) and gluthathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity in the anterior ule of patients with cataract in diabetic patients with meticulous control and in patients with senile cataract. The anterior lens capsules in 18 eyes with diabetes under tight glycemic control with cataract (Group A) 6 eyes with senile cataract (Group B) were collected in phacoemulsificatio...

Rhizobia elicit nitrogen-fixing nodules on legume roots composed of highly differentiated plant and bacterial cells. Sustaining symbiosis is energy intensive, and an increase in plant and bacterial heme protein synthesis is an essential feature of nod-ule ontogeny. Symbiotic bacteroids express cytochrome heme proteins as part of an electron transport system that allows vigorous and efficient re...

Abstract. We document the development and public release of a new dataset (1997–2018), consisting global maps Forel–Ule index, hue angle Secchi disk depth. Source data come from European Space Agency (ESA) Ocean Colour (OC) Climate Change Initiative (CCI), which is providing merged multi-sensor mid-resolution sensors in operation at specific time 1997 to present day. Multi-sensor satellite data...

Traditional measurements of the Secchi depth ( z SD ) and Forel-Ule colour were collected alongside modern radiometric ocean clarity colour, in-situ chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-a), on four Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) cruises. These data used to evaluate historic optical techniques for monitoring Chl-a, remote-sensing algorithms. Historic broadly consistent with current understanding...
