Premise of research: A distinctive new species of osmundaceous fern, based on a permineralized trunk from
Lower Cretaceous deposits of Haida Gwaii (formerly the Queen Charlotte Islands) off the west coast of mainland
Canada, provides additional data for addressing the Mesozoic diversity and the overall pattern of phylogeny
for osmundaceous...
We have developed VitisCyc, a grapevine-specific metabolic pathway database that allows
researchers to (i) search and browse the database for its various components such as
metabolic pathways, reactions, compounds, genes and proteins, (ii) compare grapevine
metabolic networks with other publicly available plant metabolic networks, and (iii)
upload, visualize and analyze...
Several lower tolerance limit procedures are compared with regard
to efficiency and robustness. The procedures include the nonparametric
based on a single order statistic and the maximum likelihood
estimates for complete and censored samples from parametric families
of distributions. Right-censoring is considered as an approach for
improving the robustness of...
A Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) application for the coastal region of Kenya and Tanzania (0-10° S, 38.7-46.98° E) was developed with the aim of better resolving the circulation patterns in the coastal region that is poorly represented in global models. The model has a horizontal resolution of 4 km,...

This paper presents a new bio-economic simulation model for the Italian fisheries developed as a part of a project financed by The General Directorate for Fisheries and Aquaculture (under the Italian Ministry of Forestry and Agriculture Policies). The main objective of the model is to measure the effects of different...
Both laboratory analyses and on-farm quick tests of manure nutrient content play an important role in manure management. Laboratory testing is the most reliable method of manure nutrient testing and is valuable for long-term planning and as a check on quick test results.

Marine protected areas (MPAs), ideally, manage human uses that threaten ecosystems, or components of ecosystems. During several recent MPA designation processes, concerns have arisen over the scientific justification for no-take MPAs, particularly those that restrict recreational fishing for pelagic species. An important question is: under what conditions might recreational pelagic...
