Desalination of seawater has become an important and growing
industry due to the water shortage in some Mediterranean countries. This
activity may result in environmental impacts, mainly generated by the
discharge into the sea of the concentrate (brine) produced. Data…

El objetivo de este estudio teórico fue evaluar la adecuación conceptual,
la aplicabilidad y las propiedades métricas de las medidas de depresión empleadas en
la investigación con muestras de personas mayores españolas. Para ello se realizaron
búsquedas electrónicas en las…

The second-order harmonic balance method is used to construct three approximate frequency-amplitude relations for a conservative nonlinear singular oscillator in which the restoring force is inversely proportional to the dependent variable. Two procedures are used to solve the nonlinear differential…

A genetically diverse population of Setaria sphacelata was developed at Gainesville, Florida by intercrossing the cultivars ?Narok?, ?Kazungula? and ?Solander? and a local persistent population. To determine heritability of traits that may improve setaria as a forage plant in Florida,…

O problema da resistência em nematódeos gastrintestinais de caprinos, associado ao crescente interesse por alternativas de controle, levou à investigação da ação de Azadirachta indica sobre estes parasitas. No teste in vitro observou-se a ação ovicida e larvicida de extratos…

Characterizations of the containment of a convex set either in an arbitrary convex set or in the complement of a finite union of convex sets (i.e., the set, described by reverse-convex inequalities) are given. These characterizations provide ways of verifying…

We tracked the daily movements of three juvenile golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) using satellite telemetry. Straight distances covered in an hour and throughout a day were calculated. Daily movements of golden eagles are mostly characterized by short-distance excursions, with 64%…

We examine the evolution of the refractive index modulation when recording gratings in an acrylamide based photopolymer. A nonlocal diffusion model is used to predict theoretically the grating evolution. The model has been developed to account for both nonlocal spatial…

We argue that ethical leadership must be in line with corporate governance in general and of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who must be the starting point for the rest of the organisational members to have an ethical guideline to…
