Invasive non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) are a major threat to the existence of native populations in European freshwater ecosystems. The discovery signal Pacifastacus leniusculus, marbled Procambarus virginalis, and spiny-cheek Faxonius limosus Estonia has increased risk extinction Estonia’s only species, noble Astacus astacus. aim this study was give an overview status, distribution, i...

Recent work in low-latency, high-bandwidth communication systems has resulted in building user–level Network Interface Controllers (NICs) and communication abstractions that support direct access from the NIC to applications virtual memory to avoid both data copies and operating system intervention. Such mechanisms require the ability to directly manipulate user–level communication buffers for ...

The Institute of Social Studies is Europe's longest-established centre of higher education and research in development studies. Postgraduate teaching programmes range from six-week diploma courses to the PhD programme. Research at ISS is fundamental in the sense of laying a scientific basis for the formulation of appropriate development policies. The academic work of ISS is disseminated in the ...

Neurosphere formation is commonly used as a surrogate for neural stem cell (NSC) function but the relationship between neurosphere-initiating cells (NICs) and NSCs remains unclear. We prospectively identified, and isolated by flow cytometry, adult mouse lateral ventricle subventricular zone (SVZ) NICs as Glast(mid)EGFR(high)PlexinB2(high)CD24(-/low)O4/PSA-NCAM(-/low)Ter119/CD45(-) (GEPCOT) cell...

An exhaustive and systematic study of the structural and electronic properties of cyclooctatetraene (COT) upon substitution of hydrogen atoms by fluoro and cyano groups has been carried out in order to analyse the influence of both substituents on the aromaticity. We found that C-C distances decrease with fluoro substitution while in cyano derivatives the opposite happens. All the compounds ret...

SPLIT is a simple prototype Lawful Interception software system which is used to evaluate the viability of using both standard network cards and specialised monitoring hardware for the purpose. Lawful Interception requires reliable packet capture, filtering and protocol analysis on high bandwidth links. While standard NICs can take on these various roles, their performance is only adequate in c...

substitution of two or four carbon atoms by nitrogen in the corannulene molecule as a carbon nanostructure was done and the obtained structures were optimized at mp2/6-31g(d) level of theory. calculations of the nucleus-independent chemical shift (nics) were performed to analyze the aromaticity of the corannulene rings and its derivatives upon doping with n at b3lyp/6-31g(d) level of theory. re...

Thermal power plants (TPPs) and national industrial complexes (NICs) are widely known as being among the major causes of changes in concentrations fine particulate matter (PM2.5). However, little is about PM2.5 concentration caused by operation these facilities South Korea health burden attributable to them, including early death. There were two purposes this study. The first was quantitatively...

Molecular geometries of benzene and its 18 monosubstituted derivatives were optimized at B3LYP/6-311+G** level of theory. The changes of pi-electron delocalization of the benzene fragment were estimated by use of aromatic stabilization energies (ASE) based on different homodesmotic reaction schemes, geometry-based HOMA model, magnetism-based NICS, NICS(1), NICS(1)zz, and an electronic delocaliz...
