The DU concept identifies intraspecific units for conservation in cases when recognizing only the species (or subspecies) per se likely does not reflect the extent of evolutionarily significant diversity within that species (or subspecies).
In addition, a similar approach based on the use of sacrificial protective layers can also be considered as valid conservation strategy in case of more traditional works of art and in presence of less aggressive exposure conditions.
Benchmarking is accomplished by verification of acoustic power conservation in the case of a purely reactive lining.
We examine why environmentalists did not accept a compromise between industrial forestry and full conservation in the case of some forestry debates in Northern Finland and the Liperinsuo site in particular.
By comparing standard forest DSS modeling results to exemplary results using the agent-based framework in terms of long-term simulations of timber production and biodiversity conservation in a case study in Sweden, we illustrate how the framework accounts for more differentiated and more realistic forest management practices at the forest landscape level.
The paper presents a tractable analytical model to determine the socially optimal number of reserve sites to be allocated in a farming area under a fixed total reserve area, taking the opportunity costs of nature conservation (in this case, agricultural profits) into consideration.
This is especially so considering that if recycled water is being utilized as a means of water conservation, in which case it should be used in conjunction with efficient irrigation methods (e.g. drip or micro spray emitters) (Pereira et al. 2002).
Next, we searched for conservation of these peptide sequences in other bacterial genomes using the TBlastX algorithm at the NCBI web portal (http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) and found conservation in seven cases (Additional file 5).
The underlying result, in this case, is parity non-conservation in the case of the weak interaction, first predicted in the famous (Nobel-prize winning) 1956 paper by T. D. Lee and C.N. Yang.
Identification of centromeres was done by searching with fuzznuc from the Emboss suite [ 70], for sequences homologous to S. cerevisiae consensus centromere sequence, ie "[AG]TCA[TC][AG]TG[AC][TC]N 73,167 G[GT]N 7,15 TTCCGAA" [ 75], and by manually checking for conservation of synteny in case of multiple hits within a single scaffold.
