Let t 7→ A(t) for t ∈ T be a C -mapping with values unbounded operators with compact resolvents and common domain of definition which are self-adjoint or normal. Here C stands for C (real analytic), a quasianalytic or non-quasianalytic Denjoy-Carleman class, C∞, or a Hölder continuity class C. The parameter domain T is either R or R or an infinite dimensional convenient vector space. We prove a...

The conservation status of Convolvulus scindicus Stocks in Pakistan, was assessed according to IUCN red data categories and criteria. After three years (2006-2008) of extensive field studies based on population size, distribution range, nature of habitat and anthropogenic activities, the conservation status of Convolvulus scindicus has been classified as an endangered (EN) species. Conservation...

Present purpose is to provide convenient computational capability and visualizations for progressive/partial prioritization based largely in concepts of partial ordering and implemented in R as illustrated in a context of conservation and sustainable stewardship across landscapes with ecosystem services as a complex multidimensional domain that must be placed in public and private perspective i...

By addressing several key features overlooked in previous studies, i.e. human disturbance, integration of ecosystem- and species-level conservation features, and principles of complementarity and representativeness, we present the first national-scale systematic conservation planning for China to determine the optimized spatial priorities for biodiversity conservation. We compiled a spatial dat...

The potential for basin amplification of ground motion from significant seismic sources 100-200 km (62-124 mi.) from the Las Vegas Valley (such as the Death Valley Fault System) and Quaternary faults in the valley could provide sufficient energy to cause liquefaction. Key criteria of liquefiable soils coupled with a shallow groundwater table (less than 15 m (50 ft)) are met at several sites in ...

In this paper we review the structure of the conserving sum rules in the mesoscopic regime, from the weakest driving fields to the strongest. As compact quantitative expressions of the microscopic conservation laws, the sum rules entail a set of straightforward criteria to be met by proper theoretical descriptions of metallicelectron behavior. As we discuss below, these criteria are quite enoug...

The Extend modeling environment provides an integrated structure for building simulation models and developing new simulation tools. This environment supports simulation modelers on a wide range of levels. Model builders can use Extend’s pre-built modeling components to quickly build and analyze systems without programming. Simulation tool developers can use Extend’s built-in, compiled language...

Many of California's native populations of freshwater fish are in serious decline, as are freshwater faunas worldwide. Habitat loss and alteration, hydrologic modification, water pollution, and invasions have been identified as major drivers of these losses. Because these potential causes of decline are frequently correlated, it is difficult to separate direct from indirect effects of each fact...
