Saproxylic beetles play a vital role in conservation as indicators of the status unmanaged forests. In light concern regarding adverse impact anthropogenic pressure on biodiversity, an essential step forest conserva-tion strategy is identification saproxylic beetles. The Hyrcanian forests are unique remnant natural broadleaf temperate forests, with evolutionary history that can be traced to Ter...

The importance and the challenges of detecting compliance failures in unmanaged business processes is discussed and the process of creating and verifying internal controls as a requirement of enterprise risk management framework is explained. The effect of using automated auditing tools to detect compliance failures against internal control points in unmanaged business processes is investigated...

Herbaceous vegetation comprises the main habitat type in cool-seasons grasslands and can be managed by various methods. We compared changes in plant communities and bird and mammal use of grasslands that were not managed, managed by mechanical methods (mowing), or managed by chemical methods (plant growth regulator). This 1-year study was conducted from May through October 2003 in Erie County, ...

Effects of passive restoration of mountain rivers on the organisms inhabiting exposed riverine sediments are considerably less understood than those concerning aquatic biota. Thus, the effects of a recovery of the Raba River after abandonment of maintenance of its channelization scheme on ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) communities were investigated by comparing 6 unmanaged cross-sections...

Schall et al. (2020) assessed how a combination of different forest management systems in managed landscapes dominated by European beech may affect the biodiversity (alpha, beta and gamma) 14 taxonomic groups. Current policy nature conservation often demand for combining uneven-aged unmanaged, set-aside conservation, forests order to promote biodiversity. In contrast this, found even-aged shelt...

The operation of the Internet is not usually informed by details about new types of Internet hosts such as customer premise broadband routers and other Internet-connected consumer products. Detecting and monitoring their arrival and effect is challenging. In this paper, we consider a particularly illustrative incident involving this class of host. In May 2003, we found that one IP address of a ...
