Abstract Background Imidacloprid is among the most widely used insecticides and today found in surface ground water worldwide. It has been registered EU watchlist for monitoring. To prevent imidacloprid from entering bodies, advanced oxidation processes (AOP) have intensely researched. Photo-irradiation proved one of efficient methods to degrade eliminate anthropogenic micropollutants waters. T...

Flubendazole (FLU) and fenbendazole (FEN) belong to benzimidazoles-pharmaceuticals widely used in veterinary and human medicine for the treatment of intestinal parasites as well as for the treatment of systemic worm infections. In recent years, usage of these drugs increased, which resulted in a larger contamination of the environment and possible negative effects on biota. Hence, in our resear...

Terrestrial orchids represent a wide diversity of species that are characterised by an equally diverse range of life history attributes. Threatened and endangered species of terrestrial orchids have been identif ed on all continents where they occur and conservation plans have been developed for some species. Even though there is a considerable amount of information on the ecology of terrestria...

This paper reviews the existing localization techniques and parameters in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) and few schemes are discussed in term of Terrestrial WSNs. The fundamental differences between Underwater and Terrestrial WSN are highlighted. Furthermore, the paper analyzes the few existing aquatic localization schemes and presents a discussion in two parts including general localization ...

We establish a new outer bound for the capacity region of product broadcast channels. This outer bound matches Marton’s inner bound for a variety of classes of product broadcast channels whose capacity regions were previously unknown. These classes include product of reversely semi-deterministic and product of reversely more-capable channels. A significant consequence of this new outer bound is...

As far as many consumers and businessmen and women are concerned, increasingly wireline and wireless services, including those provided by terrestrial and satellite systems, are considered to be substitutes and sometimes complements, regardless of the laws and regulations applicable to them. At the same time, many writers and even government agencies (such as the FCC) have suggested that users ...
