A SENSITIVITY-BASED PROCEDURE TO SELECT REPRESENTATIVE FISH SPECIES FOR THE MARINE STRATEGY FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE INDICATOR DEVELOPMENT, APPLIED TO THE GREATER NORTH SEA

A sensitivity-based procedure to select representative fish species for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive indicator development, applied to the Greater North Sea

Harmonizing biodiversity assessments under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) at the pan-European level is a crucial task for the Regional Sea Conventions and EU Member States in the coming years, particularly for fish assessment in Descriptor 1 (biodiversity).Precondition for coherent fish assessments is the establishment of a regional

Road Traffic Injuries among Drivers and Pillion Riders using Two-Wheeler Motorized Vehicle in Western Uttar Pradesh

Road Traffic Injuries (RTIs) today is public health and development problem.It is among the leading cause of head injury as well.Motorized Two-Wheeler (MTW) users are at distinguished risk for same.Though these vehicles are mostly driven by males, but females being pillion riders are too at increased Earring, Necklace Set risk.To explore the patter

Systolic Aspects of Black Hole Entropy

We attempt to provide a mesoscopic treatment of the Eye Makeup origin of black hole entropy in (3 + 1)-dimensional spacetimes.We ascribe this entropy to the non-trivial topology of the space-like sections Σ of the horizon.This is not forbidden by topological censorship, since all the known energy inequalities needed to prove the spherical topo

On the myths of indicator species: issues and further consideration in the use of static concepts for ecological applications.

The use of static indicator species, in which species are expected to have a similar sensitivity or tolerance to either natural or human-induced stressors, does not account for possible shifts in tolerance along natural environmental gradients and between biogeographic regions.Their indicative value may therefore be considered at least questionable
