We report the results of a two-year demographic study in which natural populations of Chamaedorea elegans were subject to harvesting twice a year, four times a year, and no harvesting. Projection matrix analyses indicated that population growth rate (?) was…

This paper presents preliminary case-study evidence on key factors associated with the internationalisation of management consultancy small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including how these factors differ from previous aggregate evidence based mainly on manufacturing firms. It contributes by adding to…

Shrubs are important elements of semi-desert vegetation. They provide microhabitats for the establishment of many species under their canopies thus maintaining community structure and diversity. Yet, little is known regarding their population processes and the factors that affect them. In…

As most research about preferences has ignored cognitive development, this study was designed to explore the relation between children's perceptions and preferences for fruit and vegetables and their physical activity. 210 children (100-boys and 110-girls) 9-11 years old recruited via…

Critical accounting sees the world as socially constructed and intrinsically linked to organisational, social
and political contexts. Whereas mainstream accounting historians study accounting history in terms of
the progressive development of modern techniques and practices, a Foucauldian analysis challenges the

Este artículo trata sobre los Cestodos recogidos en las válvulas espirales de Rhinoptera steindachneri de la costa sur de Ecuador representan un especie no descrita de Tetraphyllidea. La nueva especie ha bothridia poseen septos pero que carecen de los retoños…

We have determined “effective” Bethe coefficients and the mean excitation energy of stopping theory (I-value) for multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) bundles based on a sum-rule constrained optical-data model energy loss function with improved asymptotic properties.…

What is the relative importance of forest successional age, environmental heterogeneity, landscape structure and spatial structure of sampling sites on ?-diversity of tropical dry forests (TDF)? How do the magnitude of ?-diversity and the relative influence of factors, processes and…

Comprehensive information on species distribution and species composition patterns of plant communities is required for effective conservation and management of biodiversity. Remote sensing offers an inexpensive means of attaining complete spatial coverage for large areas, at regular time intervals, and…

The transitions and reactions involved in the thermal processing of binary mixtures of polyethylene and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) copolymers with different concentrations of a foaming agent (azodicarbonamide) were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effect of ZnO as a kicker…
