In the context of the application of WFD, a scientific debate is growing about the applicability of biotic indices in coastal and transitional waters. In the present work, the question about the discriminating power of different biotic indices and the relationships with the structure and functioning of the macrobenthic community in a transitional environment is discussed. A time series of sampl...

This paper describes a numerical scheme for multi-fluid hydrodynamics in the limit of small mass densities of the charged particles. The inertia of the charged particles can then be neglected, which makes it possible to write an evolution equation for the magnetic field that can be solved using an implicit scheme. This avoids the severe restriction on the stable timestep that would otherwise ar...

Through the analysis of benthic foraminifera in soft bottom sediments Laizhou Bay – Yellow River Delta system, this study characterized foraminiferal biotopes and explored possibility obtaining an index ecological quality comparable with other estuarine coastal environments world. Five have been identified their distribution patterns highlight stress from marine-fluvial water mixing pollution. ...

The Ambient Calculus and the Safe Ambient Calculus have been recently successfully proposed as models for the Web. They are based on the notions of ambient movement and ambient opening. Different type disciplines have been devised for them in order to avoid un-wanted behaviours of processes. In the present paper we propose a type discipline for safe mobile ambi-ents which is essentially motivat...

The present study was conducted to examine the impact of cage aquaculture on benthic communities in coastal areas (depth 25 to 50 m) from fish farming operations located along the southeastern Black Sea (Ordu-Perşembe, Trabzon-Yomra and Rize central). Sampling was conducted seasonally from April 2007 to 2009. Sediment samples were taken using Ekman Grab (box core- 0.04 m2). Temperature, salinit...

A growing acknowledgement within a range of disciplines has arisen concerning the necessity of changing our approach to design of IT. The main reasons for this are the increasing challenges involved in designing and maintaining IT systems that are more pervasive and complex than ever, and a growing need for better and more flexible assistance from an omnipresent technology. This paper argues fo...
