The current decline of invertebrates worldwide is alarming. Several potential causes have been proposed but metal pollutants, while being widespread in the air, soils and water, so far largely overlooked. Here, we reviewed results 527 observations effects arsenic, cadmium, lead mercury on terrestrial invertebrates. These four well-studied metals are considered as priorities for public health wh...

In this paper we use degree and index theory to present new applicable fixed point theory for permissible maps.

Several new fixed point results for compact permissible self maps in extension type spaces are presented in this paper.

Let G be an N -player game in strategic form and C be a set of permissible coalition of players (exogenously given). A strategy profile σ is a coalitional-equilibrium if no permissible coalition in C has a unilateral deviation that profits to all its members. At the two extremes: when C contains only singleton players, σ reduces to a Nash equilibrium and when C consists on all coalitions of pla...

Modern Greek society appears to be split regarding the legalization of euthanasia. The Greek Orthodox Church maintains a negative attitude. Research shows that some forms of euthanasia are carried out "behind closed doors". There is no specific legal provision. The government avoids bearing the political cost of regulating this marginal issue. According to the dominant view of Criminal Law juri...

Concentrations of free cyanide and total cyanide in water samples in Bogoso and its surrounding areas in Ghana have been measured in this study. Concentrations of free cyanide and total cyanide were found to be above the maximum permissible discharge limit of effluent from mining companies into natural waters set by Environmental Protection Agency, Ghana (GEPA). A comparison of the results obta...

This paper presents solution technique of geometric programming with fuzzy parameters to solve structural model. Here we are considered all fuzzy parameters as a generalized fuzzy number i.e. generalized triangular fuzzy number and generalized trapezoidal fuzzy number. Here material density of the bar, permissible stress of each bar and applied load are fuzzy numbers. We use geometric programmi...
