The study examined the extent of cetacean strandings in Italy, with a particular focus on Sicily Island. paper aimed to contribute description pattern that contemplates “regular and rare” species passage along Sicilian coast. estimate marine was extrapolated from National Strandings Data Bank (BDS—Banca Dati Spiaggiamenti) evaluated according subdivision three coastal subregions: Tyrrhenian sub...

IT IS OBVIOUS FROM his review of my book that J.H. Huebert holds me in genuine high esteem. This saddens him all the more for, in his view, I have squandered my talents on so unworthy a topic as Restoring the Lost Constitution: The Presumption of Liberty, which he characterizes as “an unfortunate waste of talent for a powerful mind such as Randy Barnett’s” (p. 108). While there is much that I d...

Abstract This paper examines the relationship between democracy and economic growth in 30 Sub-Saharan African countries. As our proxy for democracy we first use the democracy index constructed by Freedom House and then check the sensitivity of our findings using, as an alternative proxy for democracy, the Legislative Index of Electoral Competitiveness (LIEC). We find support for the Lipset hypo...

Elements incorporated into developing hard parts of planktonic larvae record the environmental conditions experienced during growth. These chemical signatures, termed elemental fingerprints, potentially allow for reconstruction of locations of larvae. Here, we have demonstrated for the first time the feasibility of this approach for bivalve shells. We have determined the spatial scale over whic...

This research uses a formula approach. In has several variables. The variables in this are tidal, ocean current speed and direction, wave height period, type of geological structure the coast sediment grain size materials, slope beach coastline wind direction. number samples or observation points at 27, with interval distance every point is 200 m. results were analyzed waves determinants abrasi...

The Common Moorhen Gallinula chloropus is listed as vulnerable (VU) in Norway due to a small population size (estimated at 110–215 pairs 2015). considered stable. More than one quarter of the (30–70 pairs) thought occur region Oslo and Akershus, SE Norway. In 2018, I conducted comprehensive survey known potential breeding sites assess current Akershus. recorded 74 58 sites. To analyse trend, co...

in coastal areas, hydrodynamic factors make changes in shorelines geomorphology. this can affect coastal facilities and cause hazards to human societies in the areas. this study has investigated the influence of wave and tide properties on khamir port, hormoz strait in coast of persian gulf. the purpose of the study is to make a mathematical regional and local modeling of water level fluctuatio...

Heges, J.I. and van Geen, A., 1982. A comparison of lignin and stable carbon isotope composit ions in quaternary marine sediments. Mar. Chem., 11: 43--53. Organic matter in four Quaternary sediment cores from the Gulf of Mexico and one core from the Washington State coast have been analyzed for lignin and stable carbon isotope compositions. Holocene sequences of all five cores contain organic m...
