the genus azolla forms a group of small-leafed, floating aquatic ferns native to the tropics, subtropics, and warm temperate regions of africa, asia, and america. for several decades, these ferns have been utilized for various purposes: e.g. as green manure, feed for animals, but also for the removal of different metals (e.g. hg, pb, cr and cd) through wastewater treatment or for elimination of...

classification trees (j48) were induced to predict the habitat requirements of tench (tinca tinca). 306 datasets were used for the given fish during 8 years in the river basins in flanders (belgium). the input variables consisted of the structural-habitat (width, depth, gradient slope and distance from the source) and physic chemical (ph, dissolved oxygen, water temperature and electric conduct...

Away is found to add axioms to sequent calculi that maintains the eliminability of cut, through the representation of axioms as rules of inference of a suitable form. By this method, the structural analysis of proofs is extended from pure logic to free-variable theories, covering all classical theories, and a wide class of constructive theories. All results are proved for systems in which also ...

Most habitat models developed for defining priority conservation sites target areas currently exhibiting suitable habitat conditions. For species whose habitats have been altered by land use practices, these models may fail to identify sites with the potential of producing suitable habitats, if management practices were modified. Using capercaillie Tetrao urogallus as an example, we propose a m...

Habitat use by European wildcats (Felis silvestris) in central Spain: what is the relative importance of forest variables?— Habitat preferences of wildcats are controversial. Although they are usually considered a forest species, alternative environments such as scrubland can be preferred. In this study we compared five habitat types in relation to wildcat occurrence. Sampling was carried out b...

—In regional survey studies of habitat and fish assemblages, potentially important biological interactions can be masked by strong gradients in habitat variables and associated collinearities among biological variables. We used structural equation modeling to compare the causal influences of local habitat and biotic factors on fish density in rivers and to determine the extent to which the set ...
