Successful application of promising new technologies is predicated on understanding and controlling sources of errors. The need to identify sources of error with the development of new fisheries technologies is documented in genetic studies (Blanca et al., 2009), in mark and recapture studies (Curtis, 2006), in the tracking of vessels with global position systems (GPS) (Palmer, 2008) and in mea...

We report the identification of gas jets in comet Hale–Bopp in OH, NH, CN, C2 and C3. This is the first time OH and NH jets without an obvious optical dust jet counterpart have been identified in narrowband comet images. We also confirm the existence of CN jets as reported by Larson et al. (1997) and Mueller et al. (1998). Jet features can be seen in the March and April 1997 datasets, approxima...

Information on sea level and its changes are important in connection to global climate change processes. For centuries, sea level has been observed with coastal tide gauges and since some decades with satellite altimetry. Furthermore, during recent years the application of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) reflectometry, also known as GNSS-R, for sea level observations has been develope...

This paper describes the a posteriori estimation of the error in the flux of a finite element approximation on a piece of the boundary of the domain. The estimate is obtained via a generalized Green’s function corresponding to the quantity of interest on the boundary. We investigate the effects of smoothing the data corresponding to the quantity of interest and explore the effective domain of d...

background & aim: one of the most important events in human life is marriage. sexual satisfaction is one of the effective factors in a successful marriage. accordingly, sexual health education is necessary. sex education should be in line with the cultural, religious, and social infrastructures of the society. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of sex education with and without rel...

Although the degree of mate competition, given extreme differences in sex ratio, explains much of the pattern of male-biased size dimorphism among diverse taxa, it fails for some species which have potential for intense male competition for mates and yet exhibit little or no sexual size dimorphism (SSD). This fact suggest that species with low SSD should be express the effect of evolutionary pr...
