There is a strong imbalance in EU transport mode share. In addition issues like road congestion, noise, accident rate and especially pollutant emissions result not only in external costs to society but also in high logistical costs to customers of transport services. The present paper proposes an assessment model to evaluate final internal and external costs of transport chains served by road a...

Investigated sediment cores from the southeastern Black Sea provide a high-resolution record from mid latitudes of the Laschamp geomagnetic polarity excursion. Age constraints are provided by 16 AMS C ages, identification of the Campanian Ignimbrite tephra (39.2870.11 ka), and by detailed tuning of sedimentologic parameters of the Black Sea sediments to the oxygen isotope record from the Greenl...

The study will look at extreme rainfall events in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where both the monsoon post-monsoon seasons significantly contribute to rainfall. winter season 2022 was highlighted by unusual some districts of Telangana 2nd week January 2022, causing significant damage. In this paper, we identify observational aspects, main synoptic system, physical process, thermodynamic featur...

The structure and drivers of Southern Ocean meiofauna macrofauna were investigated together in one extensive study. From the tip Antarctic Peninsula to southeastern Weddell Sea, we classified stations into 5 categories according their summer sea-ice cover: (I) none (Drake Passage), (II) irregular (Bransfield Strait), (III) seasonal (northwestern Sea), (IV) high (South Filchner Trough), (V) cons...

The organochlorine compounds (OCs) contamination was studied in different tissues of the adult Black Sea turbot (BST) from natural spawning populations of 2008, 2009 and 2013 in the South-Western shelf off Crimea, the Black Sea. Total lipids, six congeners of polychlorinated biphenyl (CB 28, 52, 101, 138, 153, 180) and organochlorine pesticide p,p’DDT including its metabolites p,p’DDE and p,p’D...

The present study investigates age-specific provincial migration in Turkey using both, five-year and life time measures for 2007-2008 and 2010-2011, a method which allows changes in the pattern of job markets and human settlements to be tracked. The aim of this study is first, to investigate in detail the relationship between the inand out-migration of the provinces at the country level. The se...

Three species of the ophidiid genus Neobythites containing ocelli in the dorsal fin are known from the West Atlantic: Neobythites gilli Goode and Bean 1885, N. ocellatus Günther 1887 and N. monocellatus Nielsen 1999. In the year 2000, 18 specimens of Neobythites were caught on the upper continental slope off eastern Brazil. This is the first documented record of a Neobythites specimen off Brazi...

This information is distributed for the purpose of predissemination peer review. It has not been formally disseminated by NOAA. It does not represent any final agency determination or policy. Introduction Black sea bass (Centropristis striata) are protogynous hermaphrodites, with most individuals maturing first as a female before changing sex to male later in life (Wenner et al 1986). This life...

Modern satellite gravity missions and ground gravimetry provide operational data models that can be used in various studies geology, tectonics, climatology, etc. In the present study, sedimentary basins southern part of East European Platform adjoining areas including Caucasus are studied by employing approach based on decompensative anomalies. The new model sediments, implying their thickness ...
