Many Web sites publish their data in a hierarchical structure. For instance, Amazon.com organizes its pages on books as a hierarchy, in which each leaf node corresponds to a collection of pages of books in the same class (e.g., books on Data Mining). Users can easily browse this class by following a path from the root to the corresponding leaf node, such as ‘‘Computers & Internet – Databases – ...

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...

Air samples were collected at a highway intersection, coastal location and suburban area in Taichung, Taiwan for the characterization of nitrate containing particulates (NCPs) in dry deposition from October 2002 to February 2003. Sampling was accomplished with a surrogate surface technique in non-raining days. Collecting tapes were precoated with nitron (C20H16N4) in a vacuum evaporator control...

Using the field sampling data obtained in November 2012, the aquatic ecosystem health of river network in Hangzhou Bay New District in Ningbo was assessed with Plankton Index of Biology Integrity (P-IBI). In these samples, 125 species of phytoplankton and 19 species of zooplankton were identified and the dominant phytoplankton species of each sampling sites were almost pollution indicator speci...

This study is considered the first in this sector of Tigris River after 2003, to evaluate effect Tharthar Canal on composition and diversity zooplankton River. Six sampling sites were selected; two canal four along River, one before confluence as a control site others downstream confluence. One hundred thirty-four taxa recorded study, 129 ,76 well 96 shared between river canal. The high value d...

this 4x2 factorial study compared the effect of four sites (a=siphon as upstream, andb=shahdera, c=sunder and d= balloki as 3 downstream sites) during low and high flow seasons of river ravion metal cconcentrations in muscles from cirrhinus (c) mrigala, a bottom feeder carp. while weight andlength of studied specimens did not differ significantly (p>0.05). overall metal accumulations appeared i...

Ecotourism is growing business in Nepal due to domestic and international visitors. Specifically, natural lakes in Ramsar sites are very potential avenues for boating, scenic beauty and study the aquatic ecosystem.
