The outcomes of our integrative taxonomic analyses, viz. the combination of morphological and molecular datasets are publications of herpetofaunal lists for such regions, reserves or provinces, including first regional or country records of species or even new species discoveries (Ziegler & Nguyen 2015). Also species group revisions and positioning of poorly known or newly described species in phylogenetic trees help to better understand diversity and uncover cryptic, viz. hidden diversity.

In recent years, protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks have been well recognized as important resources to elucidate various biological processes and cellular mechanisms. In this paper, we address the problem of predicting protein complexes from a PPI network.

Accelerated exploitation of oil and gas resources planned and implemented by ONGC and BGEIPL in west coast offshore region would result into stress particularly on marine environment. The long term physical, chemical and biological changes due to routine discharges from offshore installations can best be assessed through a study on accumulation of hydrocarbons and heavy metals in fishes, plankton and sediments which together form biotic and abiotic components of marine environment.

Taxodium is renowned for its strong tolerance to waterlogging stress, thus it has great ecological and economic potential. However, the scant genomic resources in genus Taxodium have greatly hindered further exploration of its underlying flood-tolerance mechanism.

Angelica dahurica (Apiaceae) is an important herb in traditional Chinese medicine. Because of its important medicinal and economic values, its wild resources were over-exploited and increasingly reduced. Meanwhile, the diversity of cultivars of A. dahurica has decreased as a result of long-term artificial cultivation.

One of the most buzz phrase in agriculture is the term “Soil Health”. Soil health - the continued ability of a soil to sustain crop growth over the longterm through efficient recycling and provision of nutrients, water and is controlled by a variety of factors and their interactions, including soil physical and chemical properties, soil organic matter and the activities of diverse soil biological communities. The health of soil determines agricultural sustainability. A healthy soil - supposed to have values of key soil functions in the desirable and optimum range.

Chapter 53 - Population ecology. In this chapter, you should now be able to: Define and distinguish between the following sets of terms: density and dispersion; clumped dispersion, uniform dispersion, and random dispersion; life table and reproductive table; Type I, Type II, and Type III survivorship curves; semelparity and iteroparity; r-selected populations and K-selected populations. This chapter also explain how ecologists may estimate the density of a species, explain how limited resources and trade-offs may affect life histories,...

In this paper, we propose an approach for identifying curatable articles from a large document set. This system considers three parts of an article (title and abstract, MeSH terms, and captions) as its three individual representations and utilizes two domain-specific resources (UMLS and a tumor name list) to reveal the deep knowledge contained in the article. An SVM classifier is trained and cross-validation is employed to find the best combination of representations. The experimental results show overall high performance. ...

Further, Le Trong Trai et al. (2001) described that payments from these national forestry programs have provided benefits to villagers in the short term, and Acacia spp. and pine plantations established under these programs are growing reasonably well. However, villagers brought attention to a number of problems they had to face in response to the needs of the national forestry programs.

Dr Komolong presented details of a fish nutrition and poultry feed experiment undertaken by students he was supervising at the University of Technology (Department of Agriculture) in Lae. Both students were participating in the workshop. The first presentation was titled Evaluation of local protein and energy sources for GIFT Tilapia Farming in Papua New Guinea (Densley Tapat) and the second was titled Evaluation of two Leucaena leafmeals and copra meal as substitute feeds for broiler chicken finisher diets (Eric Nogas).

With the overwhelming amount of biological knowledge stored in free text, natural language processing (NLP) has received much attention recently to make the task of managing information recorded in free text more feasible. One requirement for most NLP systems is the ability to accurately recognize biological entity terms in free text and the ability to map these terms to corresponding records in databases.

The Oracle Internet Directory (OID) was introduced with Oracle8i. OID serves the same function as Oracle Names in that it gives users a way to connect to an Oracle Server without having a client-side configuration file. However, OID differs from Oracle Names in that it is an LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) direc- tory; it does not merely support the Oracle-only Oracle Net protocol. Oracle Connection Manager Each connection to the database takes up valuable network resources, which can impact the overall performance of a database application.

LIFE ON EARTH ULTIMATELY DEPENDS ON ENERGY derived from the sun. Photosynthesis is the only process of biological importance that can harvest this energy. In addition, a large fraction of the planet’s energy resources results from photosynthetic activity in either recent or ancient times (fossil fuels). This chapter introduces the basic physical principles that underlie photosynthetic energy storage and the current understanding of the structure and function of the photosynthetic apparatus (Blankenship 2002). The term photosynthesis means literally “synthesis using light.

Wetland ecosystems are a natural resource of global significance.Historically, their high level of plant and animal (especially bird) diversity is perhaps the major reason why wetland protection has become a high priority worldwide, supported by international agreements, such as the Ramsar Convention and the International Convention of Biological Diversity (Fig. 1.1).

Sustainability is increasingly being viewed as a non-negotiable added extra that comes at a price, although it can offer financial rewards, particularly over the longer term. These rewards are measured in micro (energy efficiency, recycling etc.) and macro terms (greenhouse gas reducing, less resource depleting etc.), and are nearly always environmentally-based. The social aspects of sustainabilty (productivity, well-being etc.) must also be seriously considered. However, financial rewards from investment in this area are less understood.
