Heating effects on carbon and mineral nitrogen contents of soils within different land use types were investigated in this study. With this intention we collected soil samples from 3 different land use types which are abandoned agricultural lands (AAL), shrub land (SL) and Oak forest land (OFL) and are in neighborhood with each other. The sampling was made at mid-summer to provide a better corr...

BACKGROUND The Firth of Clyde is a large inlet of the sea that extends over 100 km into Scotland's west coast. METHODS We compiled detailed fisheries landings data for this area and combined them with historical accounts to build a picture of change due to fishing activity over the last 200 years. FINDINGS In the early 19th century, prior to the onset of industrial fishing, the Firth of Cly...

In a recent paper Borel and Serre proved the theorem: If 8 is a Lie algebra of characteristic 0 and 8 has an automorphism of prime period without fixed points f^O, then 8 is nilpotent.1 In this note we give a proof valid also for characteristic p^O. By the same method we can prove several other similar results on automorphisms and derivations. Our method is based on decompositions of the Lie al...

Evaluating impacts to biodiversity requires ecologically informed comparisons over sufficient time spans. The vulnerability of coastal ecosystems to anthropogenic and climate change-related impacts makes them potentially valuable indicators of biodiversity change. To evaluate multidecadal change in biodiversity, we compared results from intertidal surveys of 13 sandy beaches conducted in the 19...

We review some techniques of resummation applied to heavy quark production in hadronic scattering and electroproduction near partonic threshold, and discuss the reduction of factorization scale dependence in resummed cross sections.

Beach flora along the maritime ecosystem is very sensitive and fragile in nature. Studies on floral species composition their ecological role coastal marine of Indian coast general Odisha particular are scanty. Keeping view, a detailed survey Gahirmatha beach Kendrapara district, was conducted. A total 67 under 62 genera belonging to 36 families flowering plants were collected identified at dif...

The aim of the present study was to carry out an initial screening trace metals bioaccumulation in soft tissues wedge clam ( Donax trunculus Linnaeus, 1758) from different localities Bulgarian Black Sea coastal area and evaluate bioindicator potential this species. Wedge clams were collected June September 2020 sublittoral sandy habitats at coast. Soft individual digested with nitric acid follo...

We present results of ultra-deep ISOCAM observations through a cluster-lens at 7μm and 15μm with the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) satellite. These observations reveal a large number of luminous Mid-Infrared (MIR) sources. Crossidentification in the optical and Near-Infrared (NIR) wavebands shows that about half of the 7 μm sources are cluster galaxies. The other 7 μm and almost all 15 μm so...
