Growth patterns of Western Mediterranean seagrasses:species-specific responses to seasonal forcing

Anti-forcing number of some specific graphs

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple connected graph. A perfect matching (or Kekul'e structure in chemical literature) of $G$ is a set of disjoint edges which covers all vertices of $G$. The anti-forcing number of $G$ is the smallest number of edges such that the remaining graph obtained by deleting these edges has a unique perfect matching and is denoted by $af(G)$. In this paper we consider some specifi...

Diel and seasonal patterns of Nephrops norvegicus (Decapoda: Nephropidae) catchability in the western Mediterranean

Catchability patterns of western Mediterranean Nephrops norvegicus were studied in relation to depth and season by sampling animals during 4 continuous 24 h cycles of trawl hauls at 100 to 110 m and 400 to 430 m in October (near the autumn equinox) and June (near the summer solstice). Bottom light intensity was recorded between consecutive catches. Catch data were transformed into density estim...

Contrasting Species‐Specific, Compound‐Specific, Seasonal, and Interannual Responses of Foliar Isoprenoid Emissions to Experimental Drought in a Mediterranean Shrubland

Associations between Western and Mediterranean-type dietary patterns and depression in adults in Shiraz

Background and aims: Depression is a growing public health problem in the world. In this study we investigated the relationship between dietary patterns and depression in adults aged 20-50 years living in Shiraz, Iran. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 416 subjects (180 men and 236 women) aged 20 to 50 years were selected by stratified multistage rando...

Responses of root growth and distribution of maize to nitrogen application patterns under partial root-zone irrigation

A field experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of varying nitrogen (N) supply andirrigation methods on the root growth and distribution of maize (Zea mays L.) in Wuwei,northwest China in 2011 and 2012. The irrigation treatments included alternate furrow irrigation(AI), fixed furrow irrigation (FI) and conventional furrow irrigation (CI). The N supply treatmentsincluded alternate ...
