We investigate the structure and properties of a variety of generalized Wiener spaces. Our main focus is on Wiener-type measures on spaces of continuous functions; our generalizations include an extension to multiple parameters, and a method of adjusting the distribution and cov…

Since 1984, Nigeria has been forced to cope with the problems of overexpanded public sector expenditures fueled by higher petroleum prices in the oil-boom years. Faced with an acute economic crisis as a result of collapsed oil revenues and increasing foreign debt service obligat…

It is a well-known fact that installation of capacitors in power systems, especially at the distribution levels, results in considerable economical benefits. However, the extent to which these benefits are achieved depends on how the capacitors are placed on the system. Due to t…

The Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model for fox squirrels was evaluated in Oklahoma during 1994-95. Although the HSI model succeeded in characterizing the overall quality of habitat on the study site as good to optimal for fox squirrels, it failed to discriminate within habita…

Since Arrhenius published seminal work in 1921, research interest in the description of plant traits and grouped characteristics of plant species has grown, underpinning diversity in trophic levels. Geographic exploration and diversity studies prior to and after 1921 culminated …

South Georgia is renowned for the abundance of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and a range of krill predators. Variability in krill availability at a range of scales, and the consequences of this for predator-prey interactions, mean that quantifying the spatially explicit de…

The ranging behaviour, habitat preferences, genetic structure, and demographic parameters of bottlenose dolphins living in the Azores were studied using data collected from 1999 to 2004. Only 44 dolphins out of 966 identified were frequently sighted within and between years and …

Animals are constrained by the urban landscape as human population density and building density impinge on the distribution and abundance of various species. This study used transects and citizen science observations to determine the distribution patterns of the local squirrel s…

White Painted Ware, the most identifiable of pottery types of the Middle Bronze Age on Cyprus, has been studied by scholars either with the view to creating chronological typologies or to tracing trade routes. Little attention has been paid to the technology and social organizat…

Fish community structure is a complex and integrated part of an aquatic ecosystem; a balanced system is often rich in species diversity and abundance. Invasive species, including silver carp, can alter this balance and have deleterious effects. Recently, catches of silver carp i…
