Abstract This article discusses discourses of Czech tourism on the Eastern Adriatic coast between turn twentieth century and 1930s using resorts in Baška Krk Island Kupari near Dubrovnik as case studies. The author argues that ideological foundation this type was a narrative proximity Czechs their fellow Slav Croatians. At same time, practice characterized by pattern cultural paternalism econom...

The Kapiti and D’Urville Islands populations of little spotted kiwi (Apteryx owenii) are the only two long-standing populations of this species that have survived the decline of kiwi in the 20th century. The populations were compared to determine their conservation status and to provide a basis for management decisions for the two surviving birds from D’Urville Island. Measurements, voice, ecto...

Charged Higgs production in association with staus in electron positron annihilation is a signal of supersymmetry with bilinear R-Parity violation. In this model, neutrino masses and mixing angles are generated due to mixing with neutralinos. We show how parameters related to neutrino physics can be determined at a 500 fb Linear Collider from measurements of charged Higgs and stau production cr...

This thesis consists of three papers examining problems related to the crustal structure, isostasy and subsidence history of aseismic ridges and mid-plate island chains. Analysis of gravity and bathymetry data across the Ninetyeast and eastern Walvis Ridges indicates these features are locally compensated by an overthickening of the oceanic crust. Maximum crustal thicknesses are 15-30 km. The w...

Kish Island is a popular tourist destination in Iran, and tourism plays an important role in its economy. The volume of waste produced in the island has increased given the construction of numerous industrial projects over the past decade, as well as an increase in the tourist population. This expansion signals a need to create new methods of waste disposal. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA...

We present a result of cross-correlating the Infrared Astronomical Satellite Faint Source Catalogue (IRAS FSC) with the spectroscopic catalogues of galaxies in the Fourth Data Release of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), the Final Data Release of 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) and the Second Data Release of 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS). We have identified 324 ultraluminous infrared galaxies (U...

CpG-island margins and non-island-CpG sites round the transcription start sites of CpG-island-positive and -negative genes are methylated to various degrees in a tissue-specific manner. These methylation-variable CpG sites were analyzed to delineate a relationship between the methylation and transcription of the tissue-specific genes. The level of tissue-specific transcription was estimated by ...
