Coastal habitat restoration is a burgeoning science, with numerous organizations participating in an increasing number of projects and programs across the country. Examples of innovative and successful components of these efforts are summarized in this review. The information on projects and programs was collected through expert interviews and through a nationwide review of scientific literatur...

In-patient management with initial focus on weight restoration for an emaciated young girl with anorexia nervosa is reported. Integrative approach to management of this case yielded gratifying results which are maintained beyond one year after-discharge period.

[1] River restoration is at the forefront of applied hydrologic science. However, many river restoration projects are conducted with minimal scientific context. We propose two themes around which a research agenda to advance the scientific basis for river restoration can be built. First, because natural variability is an inherent feature of all river systems, we hypothesize that restoration of ...

1. Agriculture now constitutes 40–50% of terrestrial land use globally. By enhancing habitat suitability and connectivity, restoration within agricultural landscapes could have a major influence on biodiversity conservation. However, habitat management within intensive agricultural landscapes may primarily boost abundances of common, highly mobile generalists, rather than vulnerable or endanger...

Fault management has become critical in managing survivability of high speed networks. Impact of failure is aggravated with extremely high volume of traffic carried on WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) networks. In a WDM network, failure of a network element may cause failure of several optical channels leading to large data loss which can interrupt communication services. In this paper, e...

Fracture of tooth after trauma is distressing to a person because of the discomfort and pain due to pulpal injury. Crown root fractures of anterior teeth cause concomitant periodontal injury and there will be concern about appearance, and aesthetics. Management of pulpal and periodontal tissue relieves pain and restoration of tooth form regains patients confidence. Restoration of fractured toot...

In this paper we propose a new approach for optical layer restoration management in a dynamically reconfigurable optical network. The optical network consists of Optical Layer Cross-connects (OLXCs) which have the ability to convert the wavelength of any incoming channel to any outgoing wavelength (i.e. have wavelength conversion). Recently, there has been intense interest within the optical ne...

Lakes all around the globe are under severe pressure due to an increasing anthropogenic impact from a growing population in a more developed world. Accordingly, today, many lakes are highly eutrophic and suffer from severe blooms of often toxic cyanobacteria and may become even more eutrophic in the future unless strong lake management actions are taken. Recent research has further shown that g...

This paper aims to outline challenging issues of urban biodiversity in order to address yardsticks related to ecohydrology, and with a complementary approach to eutrophication impacts. The vision of environmental services, urbanization's consequences and management aspects of water governance are also depicted. Factors of river restoration, environmental tradeoffs and socio-cultural constrains ...

OVERVIEW: Ecosystem restoration projects are often characterized by uncertainties that should be assessed according to current guidance (ER 1105-2-100) (USACE 2000), but in many projects, these issues are not always explicitly addressed. Inability to quantify risk and uncertainty often results in overly-conservative restoration management alternatives, resulting in inefficient allocations of ca...
