BACKGROUND A hallmark of the latter half of the 20(th) century is the widespread, rapid intensification of a variety of anthropogenically-driven environmental changes--a "Great Acceleration." While there is evidence of a Great Acceleration in a variety of factors known to be linked to water quality degradation, such as conversion of land to agriculture and intensification of fertilizer use, it ...

This study investigates if and how present institutional structures and interactions between scientifi c assessment and environmental management are suffi cient for implementing the ecosystem approach to management (EAM) in the case of Baltic Sea eutrophication. Concerning governance structures, a number of institutions and policies focus on issues relating to eutrophication. In many cases, the...

Abstract The amino acid l -methionine is an essential and commonly used as a feed supplement in terrestrial animals. It less suitable for marine organisms because it readily excreted. also highly water soluble this results loss of the eutrophication water. To address these problems, dipeptide dl -methionyl- (trade name: AQUAVI Met-Met) has been developed dedicated methionine source aquaculture....

This paper reviews the existing localization techniques and parameters in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and few schemes are discussed in term of Terrestrial WSNs. The fundamental differences between Underwater and Terrestrial WSN are highlighted. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the few existing aquatic localization schemes and presents a discussion in two parts including general localization ...

We establish a new outer bound for the capacity region of product broadcast channels. This outer bound matches Marton’s inner bound for a variety of classes of product broadcast channels whose capacity regions were previously unknown. These classes include product of reversely semi-deterministic and product of reversely more-capable channels. A significant consequence of this new outer bound is...

As far as many consumers and businessmen and women are concerned, increasingly wireline and wireless services, including those provided by terrestrial and satellite systems, are considered to be substitutes and sometimes complements, regardless of the laws and regulations applicable to them. At the same time, many writers and even government agencies (such as the FCC) have suggested that users ...

A public process has been in place in the United States for six years to establish an HDTV terrestrial broadcasting standard. The process, having moved through a planning phase, a competition phase, and an examination phase, has now entered a cooperation phase. Remarkable progress has been made — a testament to the process. During the next few months, the American digital HDTV terrestrial broad...
