Die Dynamik der Informationstechnologie und steigende Komplexität von Informationssystemen schlägt sich auch im Informationssicherheitsmanagement nieder. Informationssicherheitsstandards haben sich als generische Lösungen für eine Vielzahl von Aufgaben etabliert. Inwieweit derartige Standards die benötigte ganzheitliche Betrachtung vorsehen ist bislang nicht geklärt. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wir...

This paper studies the notions of conceptual grounding and explanation (which includes notion mathematical explanation), with an aim clarifying links between them. On one hand, it analyses complex examples these two that bring to fore features are easily overlooked otherwise. other provides a formal framework for modeling both explanation, based on concept proof. Inspiration analogies drawn rec...

The third instar larvae of Gepus invisus and Solter liber are comparatively described and illustrated for the first time with a particular emphasis on genus level characters. Larval morphology confirms a close relationship between these genera as they differ only in minor characters.

Žydelis et al. (2009 [this issue]) is a direct critique of 2 recent papers we published on the use of biodiversity offsets in managing fisheries bycatch (Wilcox & Donlan 2007; Donlan & Wilcox 2008). The authors misrepresent the use of biodiversity offsets as we presented them, misunderstand the policy objectives of fisheries (and bycatch) management, present a flawed analysis of the appropriate...

The apparently rare chelonine wasp genus Wushenia Zettel was previously known only from a single species Wushenia nana Zettel, collected by Townes at 1150 m from Wushe, Taiwan in 1983. Here we describe a second species, Wushenia australiensis sp. nov. from coastal New South Wales, Australia. This second species extends the known distribution of the genus from the Oriental into the Australasian ...

Identifying sources of sampling variation and quantifying their magnitude is critical to the interpretation of ecological field data. Yet, most monitoring programs of reef fish populations based on underwater visual censuses (UVC) consider only a few of the factors that may influence fish counts, such as the diver or census methodology. Recent studies, however, have drawn attention to a broader...

When analysing the behavior of complex networked systems, it is often the case that some components within that network are only known to the extent that they belong to one of a set of possible ”implementations” – e.g., versions of a specific protocol, class of schedulers, etc. In this report we augment the specification language considered in BUCSTR-2004-021, BUCS-TR-2005-014, BUCS-TR-2005-015...
