The book “Biodiversidade e ocupação humana do Pantanal mato-grossense:conflitos e oportunidades” brings to discussion a hardly citied issue in academic debates:the conservation of the Pantanal. A place pointed out by some authors as pristine. Thebook is divided into three main chapters. The first one is about the physical / biologicalfeature of the region and the second covers t...

A s scientists in a maturing discipline, conservation biologists are still formulating methodologies, identifying and prioritizing the problems they must solve, and forging and understanding their relation to other disciplines such as ecology, geography, and sociology. These two books make valuable contributions to conservation biology and document some of its progress, both theoretical and emp...

Conservation translocations aim to restore species to their indigenous ranges, protect populations from threats and/or reinstate ecosystem functions. They are particularly important for the conservation and management of rare and threatened species. Despite tremendous efforts and advancement in recent years, animal conservation translocations generally have variable success, and the reasons for...

Background: Systematic conservation planning involves the prioritisation of conservation actions to optimise biodiversity conservation outcomes whilst considering implementation challenges such as minimising costs. Thousands of systematic conservation plans have been developed around the globe (a popular software package, ‘Marxan’, has over 4200 active users from more than 180 countries). Howev...

Schedule-induced polydipsia occurred during initial magazine training to Noyes pellets (45 mg), disappeared when lever-pressing was acquired on a continuous reinforcement schedule (CRF), and reappeared when the food contingency was changed to a 1-min variable interval schedule (VI 1 min). Polydipsia also developed under a VI 1 min food schedule when water was concurrently available on various f...

in this paper, heir-equations method is applied to investigate nonclassical symmetries and new solutions of the black-scholes equation. nonlinear self-adjointness is proved and infinite number of conservation laws are computed by a new conservation laws theorem.

introduction: quoting an article in well-known textbooks is held as a credit for that paper. the numbers of iranian publications mentioned in endodontic textbooks have increased during recent years. the aim of this investigation was to evaluate the number of iranian articles quoted in eminent endodontic text books. methods and materials: three known textbooks ( ingle’s endodontics, seltzer and ...
