We consider whether current notions about superstring theory below the Planck scale are compatible with cosmology. We find that the anticipated form for the dilaton interaction creates a serious roadblock for inflation and makes it unlikely that the universe ever reaches a state with zero cosmological constant and time-independent gravitational constant. Superstring theories have been extensive...

Møller and co-workers (Møller et al. 2007) observe an ‘elevated frequency of abnormalities in barn swallows (Hirundo rustica) at Chernobyl’ and ‘can think of no alternative explanations other than exposure to radiation that can have caused the observed patterns’. However, an obvious alternative hypothesis (e.g. Pikulik & Plenin 1994) is that apparent impacts on birds may be due to ecosystem cha...

Former mining sites cause serious environmental problems worldwide as they are contaminated with hazardous levels of metals. Mined lands characterized by a deserted landscape due to the lack organic matter in soil. Research analyses confirmed that structure soil abandoned surface mines has affected occurrence ecological processes and natural colonization vegetation cannot take place. Moreover, ...

Ecological restoration of abandoned, formerly forested farmland can improve the delivery of ecosystem services and benefit biodiversity conservation. Restoration programs can involve removing isolated, non-native trees planted by farmers for fruit or wood. As such “legacy” trees can attract seed dispersers and create microclimates that help native seedlings to establish, removing them may actua...

Executive summary: We scrutinized peer-reviewed literature, technical books, and key reports in order to detect any evidence for a differential ability between public and public lands to protect imperiled species in the United States. Limitations in data availability and/or in study scale limited our comparison mostly to certain contrasts of federal public versus mostly private lands. At a nati...

Remote monitoring of natural afforestation processes on abandoned agricultural lands is crucial for assessments and predictions forest cover dynamics, biodiversity, ecosystem functions services. In this work, we built the general approach combining satellite field data mapping developed a simple robust method dynamics assessment. This based Landsat imagery index-based thresholding specifically ...

The aim of this study was to examine stories of abandoned babies’ news published in newspapers in Turkey. In this retrospective descriptive study, infant deaths and abuse stories in newspapers published as Turkish examined. In the 80 news published between 01.01.2013 and 31.12.2014, 88 babies reported. Twenty eight (31.82%) of these babies were abandoned. Of abandoned babies, 25 had died, 23 we...
