It is argued that trophy hunting of large, charismatic mammal species can have considerable conservation benefits but only if undertaken sustainably. Social-ecological theory suggests such sustainability only results from developing governance systems that balance financial and biological requirements. Here we use lion (Panthera leo) trophy hunting data from Tanzania to investigate how resource...

How does a rm s investment change with its cash ow To study this question we collect detailed project level data on oil and gas lease auctions Bidding data on all tracts and bidders including losing ones allow us to track changes in relative bid prices and lease composition Morover outcome data for every lease i e whether minerals where found or not allow us to track changes in pro tability of ...

Purpose: This research aims to examine impact of high lease numbers based on PSAK 73 and 30 firm value. Theoretical framework: The (IFRS 16 adoption) mandates the reclassification operating leases as finance leases, leading an increase in both assets liabilities company. change, coupled with challenging economic conditions caused by Covid-19 pandemic, can lead into a potential decrease firm's D...

Cache Augmented Database Management Systems (CADBMSs) enhance the performance of simple operations that exhibit a high read to write ratio, e.g., interactive social networking actions. They are realized by extending a data store such as a Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) with a Key Value Store (KVS). At the time of writing, memcached is a popular in-memory KVS in use by a number o...

Resource provisioning is one of the main challenges in large-scale distributed systems such as federated Grids. Recently, many resource management systems in these environments have started to use the lease abstraction and virtual machines (VMs) for resource provisioning. In the large-scale distributed systems, resource providers serve requests from external users along with their own local use...

Many benthic macroinvertebrates are associated with cultured bivalves but normally excluded from studies on the environmental effects of bivalve aquacultures. We evaluated hypothesis that mussel aquaculture increases overall “benthic” macroinvertebrate productivity by considering both sediment- and sock-associated macroinvertebrates. It was predicted presence invasive ascidian Styela clava woul...

Leasing resources for short periods of time can be of great value to many applications. Applications consisting of workflows of small tasks (such as Montage [5], GADU [6] or fMRI [7]), can be more efficiently scheduled by a workflow engine (e.g., Pegasus [8] or Swift [9]) when using leased resources than when each request must pass via a traditional scheduler. Interactive applications (where th...
