The tree species that dominate the cloud-zone forests of Macaronesia, the coastal redwoods of California, the Valdivian forests of Chile, the Atlantic forests of Brazil and the podocarp forests of New Zealand are all examples of paleoendemic species that once had a much wider distribution. They appear to owe their survival to the particular environmental conditions provided by coastal sites or ...

Interactive drama has been discussed for a number of years as a new form of AI-based interactive entertainment (Laurel 1986, Bates 1992). While there has been substantial technical progress in building believable agents (Bates, Loyall and Reilly 1992, Blumberg 1996, HayesRoth, van Gent and Huber 1996), and some technical progress in interactive plot (Weyhrauch 1997), no work has yet been comple...

Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary contains a moderately diverse coral reef community (150 coral species, 259 fish species) that is protected from most human activities. The coral community was devastated by a crown-of-thorns starfish invasion in 1979 and has recently been affected by two major hurricanes (1990 and 1991) and a period of unusually high water temperature (1994). Long-term mon...

In Tunisia, more precisely in semi-arid and arid areas, drought accentuated by the superficial evaporation of water leads to a gradual increase salinity, which is limiting factor crop production. these highly salty ecosystems, some plants grow naturally; however, various species show different levels tolerance salinity during their development. The germination seeds most sensitive stage this ab...

in this paper, the large amount of sedimentation and the resultant shoreline advancements at the breakwaters of beris fishery port are studied. a series of numerical modeling of waves, sediment transport, and shoreline changes were conducted to predict the complicated equilibrium shoreline. the outputs show that the nearshore directions of wave components are not perpendicular to the coast whic...

it is well known that, contaminant transportation is a major problem in coastal zones and has to be faced when coastal structures are being planned. sea pollution not only causes environmental damage, but also impacts quality and population of sea resources. oil is the most important pollutant, pollutants emanating from industries, ships, drilling and exploration in the seabed, ship sewage, tox...
