The Eocene-Oligocene Boundary (~34 million years ago) marks one of the largest extinctions of marine invertebrates in the world oceans and of mammalian fauna in Europe and Asia in the Cenozoic era. A shift to a cooler climate across this boundary has been suggested as the cause of this extinction in the marine environment, but there is no manifold evidence for a synchronous turnover of flora, f...

phenols are toxic organic compounds and which badly affects the flora and fauna of thebiosphere because phenols are persistent pollutant found in wastewater from many industries. in presentresearch article the photocatalytic removal of o-nitro phenol by synthesized magnetic nanoadsorbents(mna) carried out under photocatalytic reactor. the mna were synthesized by co-precipitation methodrequired ...

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recently reinforced the international system of radiological protection, initially focused on humans, by identifying principles of environmental protection and proposing a framework for assessing impacts of ionising radiation on non-human species, based on a reference flora and fauna approach. For this purpose, ICRP developed dosime...

Concern for the conservation of flora and fauna in natural areas and the potential impacts of human activity, recreation and tourism has become a high priority. Combining appropriate ecotourism activity with conservation guidelines is the main focus of this concern. These issues are of great importance to the crayfishing community of Lancelin, who are concerned about the future of their small o...

At the end of the Middle Miocene the Caucasus represented a land forepart, the geographic position of which induced the development of peculiar flora and fauna in Eastern Georgia. On the territory of Eastern Georgia several reference fossil vertebrate sites are discovered, among them its worth mentioning Udabno (Maeotian), Dzedzvtakhevi (Maeotian), Iaghludja (Sarmatian-Maeotian), Kvabebi (Akcha...

According to The Pesticide Manual, more than 700 pesticides are currently approved for use around the world [1]. About 600 more were used in the past, but are either banned or no longer marketed. In spite of their discontinuance, some of these still persist in the environment where they may bioaccumulate in the flora and fauna. Many pesticides or their degradation products can be found at trace...

This paper presents an innovative 3D reconstruction of ancient fresco paintings through the real-time revival of their fauna and flora, featuring groups of virtual animated characters with artificial-life dramaturgical behaviours in an immersive, fully mobile augmented reality (AR) environment. The main goal is to push the limits of current AR and virtual storytelling technologies and to explor...
