A review of reproduction biology and spawning/ nursery grounds of the most important Adriatic commercial fish species in the last two decades

Recently, despite long-term systematic research of the Adriatic Sea ecosystem, the necessity to improve the existing protection of commercially exploited species occurred since the status of many renewable marine stocks were not in good state. In order to realize that review of scientific knowledge gather within the last two decades was required. In this paper emphasis has been placed on all the scientific knowledge concerning the reproductive biology, spawning and nursery grounds of four ecologically...

Estimating DOA and PPS parameters of signal received by ULA in heavy noise environment

Abstract Estimation of the direction-of-arrival (DOA) and parameters of polynomial phase signal (PPS) impinging on the uniform linear array (ULA) of sensors in heavy-tailed noise environments is considered in this paper. To estimate signal parameters, a recently proposed quasi maximum-likelihood (QML) estimator is adopted. The proposed algorithm consists of two successive steps: (1) noise influence mitigation by using the proposed normalization strategy and (2) signal parameters estimation...

On the Generalization of Merkin’s Theorem for Circulatory Systems: A Rank Criterion

Abstract This paper provides a generalization of the celebrated Merkin theorem. It provides new results on the destabilizing effect of circulatory forces on stable potential systems. Previous results are described and discussed, and the paper uncovers a deeper understanding of the fundamental reason for the destabilization. Instability results in terms of rank conditions that deal with the potential and circulatory matrices that describe the system are obtained, thereby generalizing...

Mitigating Devices within the Context of Two-Way Mediated Shop Conversations

Abstract In this paper, we will present our three-month-long study aimed at investigating the concept of relational language and mitigating devices and how such mitigating devices are used within the context of two-way mediated shop conversations. We will also see how relational language and mitigating devices help speakers establish and maintain good relationship. Our study results show that this relationship is maintained by the avoidance or reduction of unwelcome effects a speech...

Coastal sand dune vegetation of Velika plaža (Montenegro)

Velika plaža (Ulcinj, Montenegro) is the largest sandy beach along the coast of the eastern Adriatic that still has well-developed sand-dune vegetation. Although the characterization of the flora and vegetation of Velika plaža has been addressed by many authors, knowledge on its vegetation remained poor. We made a phytosociological study of sand beach vegetation comprising both dunal and wetland areas to provide a comprehensive survey of sand dune vegetation and habitat typology of Velika plaža....
