Compromise sought over germplasm access

Urgent fisheries changes sought

Europe's fishermen should stop catching North Sea cod and continue to avoid Bay of Biscay anchovies next year if the two species are to stand a chance of survival after years of chronic overfishing, scientists announced last month. Despite improvements in the numbers of northern hake, herring and mackerel, other species living in the northeast Atlantic need more time to rebuild stocks, the Inte...

One of the main assumptions there was that the agents' goals remain xed|the agents cannot relax their initial goals, which can be achieved only as a whole and cannot be partially achieved. A goal there was considered a formula that is either satissed or not satissed by a given state. We here present a more general approa...

Internet Access over HSDPA

High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) is being introduced by mobile operators as a solution both for increasing the downlink throughput and for achieving a more efficient usage of the radio resources. This work analyses the quality of experience of HSDPA users, based on experiments and measurements over a commercial network. The effect of multiple users sharing the overall capacity of the c...

Genetic Variability of Access of the Active Germplasm Bank of Coffea canephora of Incaper in Southern Espírito Santo

This study aimed to analyze the genetic variability of 323 accessions of the Active Germplasm Bank (BAG) of Coffea canephora of the Institute for Research, Technical Assistance and Rural Extension of Espírito Santo (Incaper) using 38 quantitative phenotypic characters. The standardized average Euclidean distance between the accessions was estimated to generate a statistical distance matrix and,...
