The dissertation questions the equal acceptability of these word orders and shows that some of the “felicitous” word orders have a degraded status compared to others. The w...

The objective of this study was to compare biological parameters such as length, weight, age, caviar production indices, caviar/weight, growth, condition factor and sex ratios of Persian sturgeon (Acipenser persicus Borodin, 1897) and Russian sturgeon (A. gueldenstaedti Brandt & Ratzeburg, 1833) in the Caspian Sea during 1990-2014. The results showed that a variety of differences between this t...

However, these efforts have yet to produce a comprehensive mapping of humankind, because important regions of modern human civilization remain unexplored. T...
