Evaluations are provided of 21 descriptors of Posidonia oceanica meadows along the coast of Valencia, Spain, with a view to using these in implementing the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). The descriptors selected are known to respond to a variety…

A Discrete Event System (DES) is a discrete state space dynamic system that evolves in accordance with the instantaneous occurrence, at possibly unkown times, of physical events. Given a DES, its behavior (the sequence of displayed events) may not satisfy…

The aim of this study was to analyse the evolution of critical velocity and critical
stroke rate during 12 weeks of training in age group swimmers. Fourteen age group
male swimmers took part in this investigation. The evaluation took place…

Swimming speed is determined by many factors, including weight preparation of the

The electrochemical behaviour of glycine on well-defined Pt(100) and Pt(110) electrodes has been studied in an acid medium by means of cyclic voltammetry and in situ FTIR spectroscopy. The results presented in this paper and those reported previously for the…

The closing decades of the twentieth century saw a dramatic shift from institutional to community-based care for the mentally ill. This paper describes a study of the social representation of mental illness by mental health professionals working in Britain and…

Nowadays, the material disassembly is an important issue for the industry. This paper presents an algorithm to sequence the task to be performed in the disassembly of a specific material from a product or to separate all the materials of…

This paper describes a method for the automatic inference of structural transfer rules to be used in a shallow-transfer machine translation (MT) system from small parallel corpora. The structural transfer rules are based on alignment templates, like those used in…

This paper discusses language usage patterns amongst Eastern European migrants living in the East Anglia region of Great Britain. It examines the relationship between individual speakers' language use and societal factors, with an emphasis of respondents' perceptions of ethnic, cultural…
