ESTIMATION OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC COSTS RESULTING FROM AIR POLLUTION IN THE INDOOR ENVIRONMENT


Topological strings, strips and quivers

Abstract We find a direct relation between quiver representation theory and open topological string theory on a class of toric Calabi-Yau manifolds without compact four-cycles, also referred to as strip geometries.We show that various quantities that characterize open topological string theory on these manifolds, such as partition functions, Gromov

The Economic Value of the Greater Montreal Blue Network (Quebec, copyright): A Contingent Choice Study Using Real Projects to Estimate Non-Market Aquatic Ecosystem Services Benefits.

This study used a contingent choice method to determine the economic value of improving various ecosystem services (ESs) of the Blue Network of Greater Montreal (Quebec, copyright).Three real projects were used and the evaluation 5318008 focused on six ESs that are related to freshwater aquatic ecosystems: biodiversity, water quality, carbon seques

Large-scale patterns of genetic variation in a female-biased dispersing passerine: the importance of sex-based analyses.

Dispersal affects the distribution, dynamics and genetic structure of natural populations, and can be significantly different between sexes.However, literature records dealing with the dispersal of migratory birds are scarce, as migratory behaviour can notably complicate the study of dispersal.We used the barn swallow Hirundo rustica as model taxon
