Stock assessments use statistical models and empirical data to re-create the population dynamics of a stock in order to provide estimates of biomass and fishing mortality rates to inform fisheries management. Fish stocks are not uniformly distributed across spatial regions, but stock assessments typically ignore stock spatial structure, for the...
Due to the effective antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles they represent a significant proportion of all consumer-‐related nanomaterials. The introduction of silver nanoparticles from these products into domestic and industrial wastewater streams poses potential complications for biological treatment systems. A critical component of biological treatment that is extremely sensitive to...
Numerous flights of Quaternary marine terraces are present around the island of Cyprus, in the Eastern Mediterranean. These terraces are a result of the global eustatic sea-level curve and local tectonism. Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5 through MIS 13 terraces are identified, mapped and dated. Palaeoshoreline elevation, an excellent indicator...
This study is a review of the researcher's deliberate strategies for
incorporating Latino culture into the teaching of a Spanish language course.
The researcher developed, presented and assessed a curriculum unit
designed to examine the social and educational problems of Latinos, the history
of Latin America, the effects of discrimination...
Supercritical fluid (SCF) impregnation is a promising preservative treatment method, however, the development of SCF processes has been slowed by a limited understanding of the process. Developing a better understanding of the effects of various process parameters on treatment results would allow for a more rational development of SCF impregnation....
Multi-level decision feedback equalization (MDFE) is an effective sampled signal processing technique to remove inter-symbol interference (ISI) from disk read-back signals. Parallelism which doubles the symbol rate can be realized by utilizing the characteristic of channel response and decision feedback equalization algorithm.
A mixed-signal IC implementation has been chosen for...
