Email is one of the most successful and frequently used computer applications. According to marketing surveys, over 4 billion corporate email messages were exchanged per day in 2001, increasing to a projected 35 billion in 2005. Moreover, 97 percent of workers report using email multiple times per week for a daily average of 49 minutes (Gartner 2001; Levitt 2000; Pitney Bowes 2000). For many pe...

temporal and spatial variation of zooplankton abundance, composition and biomass were examined on the chabahar bay, oman sea. the chabahar bay, a subtropical and semi-enclosed bay, provides an ideal breeding ground for many fish and shellfish. five stations were investigated along the bay. this area is under the influence of the indian ocean seasonal monsoons. zooplankton was collected with ver...

Species distribution models (SDMs) have become important and essential tools in conservation and management. However, SDMs built with count data, referred to as species abundance models (SAMs), are still less commonly used to date, but increasingly receiving attention. Species occurrence and abundance do not frequently display similar patterns, and often they are not even well correlated. There...

We have used a combination of stellar population synthesis and photoioniza-tion models to develop a set of ionization parameter and abundance diagnostics based only on the use of the strong optical emission lines. These models are applicable to both extragalactic H II regions and star-forming galaxies. We show that, because our techniques solve explicitly for both the ionization parameter and t...

Phytoplanktons are the first bio- indicators of pollution in aquatic ecosystems. Phytoplankton assemblage and aquatic ecosystems are always influenced by environmental factors therefore these environmental changes and threats must be understood in any ecosystem. Phytoplankton are inexpensive and readily available bio- indicators. In the present study, phytoplankton were used to study the Sefid ...

in this study, population dynamics of venerid bivalve paphia cor was investigated for a one-year period (2008-2009) in bushehr shoreline areas (50˚ 40´ e- 29˚ 14´n) to estimate the stock abundance, growth parameters and natural mortality. sampling was carried out bi-monthly by transects at random direction and zigzag pattern with duplicated quadrate (0.25 m2). the length frequency was used to e...

the study comparatively assessed the impacts of farm activities on the abundance and diversity of soil arthropods and soil physico-chemical parameters of the practical year training programme (pytp) farmlands, university of ibadan, south western nigeria. soil arthropods were collected from september, 2010 to february, 2011 in five sampling sites of pytp farmlands using berlese tullgren extracti...
