Ponds throughout the world are subjected to a variety of management measures for purposes of biodiversity conservation. Current conservation efforts typically comprise a combination of multiple measures that directly and indirectly impact a wide range of organism groups. Knowledge of the relative impact of individual measures on different taxonomic groups is important for the development of eff...

Hair and feathers are unique because (1) their stem cells are contained within a follicle structure, (2) they undergo cyclic regeneration repetitively throughout life, (3) regeneration occurs physiologically in healthy individuals and (4) regeneration is also induced in response to injury. Precise control of this cyclic regeneration process is essential for maintaining the homeostasis of living...

Several multi-agent approaches have been proposed to improve image processing. They use several image processing algorithms simultaneously. However, these approaches do not deal with the inherent problems encountered for the extraction from an image of primitive information like edges or regions. This implies that agents use macro results provided by image processing algorithms. Agents use macr...

STICS-MACRO is a process-based model simulating the fate of pesticides in the soil-plant system as a function of agricultural practices and pedoclimatic conditions. The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of crop management practices on water and pesticide flows in contrasted environmental conditions. We used the Morris screening sensitivity analysis method to identify the most...

How to promote firms’ environmental management behavior is a concern for academics. In order explain the reasons why exhibits heterogeneity from institutional perspective, this paper seeks investigate relationship between macro-institutional pressures and behavior, with moderating effects of micro-institutional pressures. Firms’ classified into substantive symbolic behavior. Macro-institutional...

Abstract This study investigates the effectiveness of international environmental agreements ( IEA s) and how it might be affected by development pro-environmental behaviour among households firms. We propose a new framework based on two-nested-game approach composed by: (1) one-shot game with two asymmetric countries that negotiate abatement target, (2) an evolutionary which describes economic...
