Indonesia is biologically one of the most diverse areas in world. Nevertheless, its biodiversity underestimated, and this particularly evident for meiobenthic assemblages. Seagrass meadows are known to be ecosystem engineers that can significantly modify habitat heterogeneity and, thereby, increase diversity. Therefore, a study on distribution was conducted two seagrass around Siladen Island (B...

Indicators, for groundwater resources, have mostly been employed to define the present status and the degradation tendency, regarding both quantity (under- or overexploitation) and quality (natural and anthropic contamination). This work presents the application of indicators in order to draw a picture of the groundwater resources situation in the 22 Water Resource Management Units (WRMU) of th...

Expression of Concern: The polarity factor Bucky ball associates with the centrosome and promotes microtubule rearrangements to establish the oocyte axis in zebrafish by Forbes et al. This Expression of Concern relates to the Advance Article 'The polarity factor Bucky ball associates with the centrosome and promotes microtubule rearrangements to establish the oocyte axis in zebrafish' (The corr...

In many economies, the monetary policy instrument is the level of short-term nominal interest rates, but the monetary policy stance might be better characterised by the ex ante real interest rate that this nominal rate implies, relative to some “neutral” or “natural” real rate of interest. In this paper, we estimate the natural rate of interest and the real interest rate gap the difference betw...

Natural videos obtained from a camera mounted on a cat’s head are used as stimuli for a network of subspace energy detectors. The network is trained by gradient ascent on an objective function defined by the squared temporal derivatives of the cells’ outputs. The resulting receptive fields are invariant to both contrast polarity and translation and thus resemble complex type receptive fields.
