Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) have been proposed for inclusion in the annexes of the Stockholm Convention by the European Union, signifying a probable increase in monitoring PCN levels at a global level. Investigations on PCN levels in the environment of Hong Kong have not been reported. In this preliminary investigation, PCN levels in surface soils samples were determined by isotope dilu...

Le lymphangiome orbitaire est une tumeur bénigne à développement progressif, qui se présente sous forme de vaisseaux à parois fines et à lumières dilatées complètement isolées de la circulation artérioveineuse. Le lymphangiome peut se localiser au niveau de la conjonctive, des paupières ou de l'orbite. A ce propos, nous rapportons un cas de lymphangiome orbitaire envahissant le globe oculaire e...

Climate is one of the many factors such as socio-cultural structure, economy, materials, and technology that influence architectural forms. The resolutions that exist as a result of the effect of climate on architecture differ according to regions, cultures, time and technology. The climate in the Eastern Black Sea region, which lies in the north of Turkey, plays an active role in the formation...

An important aspect of mechanism design in social choice protocols and multiagent systems is to discourage insincere and manipulative behaviour. We examine the computational complexity of false-name manipulation in weighted voting games which are an important class of coalitional voting games. Weighted voting games have received increased interest in the multiagent community due to their compac...

Résumé Le rhabdomyosarcome du col utérin fait partie des types histologiques rares des cancers du col, qu'on observe généralement chez la jeune fille ou la femme en période d'activité générale. La stratégie thérapeutique se base sur l'association des trois modalités thérapeutiques (chimiothérapieradiothérapie-chirurgie) vu l'agressivité de la maladie.

Abstract Global environmental goals mandate the expansion of protected area network to halt biodiversity loss. The European Union’s Natura 2000 covers 27.3% terrestrial Greece, one highest percentages in Europe. However, extent which this protects Europe’s biodiversity, especially a biodiverse country like is unknown. Here, we overlap country’s with ranges 424 species assessed as threatened on ...

Setting aside protected areas is widely recognized as one of the most effective measures to prevent species from extinction. Accordingly, there has been a tremendous effort by governments worldwide to establish protected areas, resulting in over 100,000 sites, which are set aside, to achieve the 10% target proposed at the Fourth World Park Congress in 1992 in Caracas. The main effort of the Eur...

The implementation of hard real-time systems is extremely a hard task today due to safety and dynamic reconfiguration requirements. For that, whatever the taken precautions, the occurrence of faults in such systems is sometimes unavoidable. So, developers have to take into account the presence of faults since the design level. In this context, we notice the need of techniques ensuring the depen...
