SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF AN INVASIVE ALIEN SPECIES, VACHELLIA NILOTICA, ON RODRIGUES ISLAND, MAURITIUS, USING GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES

Invasive alien species (IAS) constitute a large and growing environmental and socio-economic problem.Tropical islands, one of the richest habitats in the world, are especially vulnerable to invasions because of their island-specific flora and fauna.The aim of this study is thus to assess the viability of monitoring IAS distributions on small tropic

Abstract O-acetylation is a common modification of sialic acids that has been implicated in a multitude of biological and disease processes.A lack of analytical methods that can determine exact structures of sialic acid variants is a hurdle to determine roles of distinct O-acetylated sialosides.Here, we describe a drift tube ion mobility-mass spect

In accordance with development of coastal area around the worlds, constructing breakwaters with sophisticated materials is increased.In the south costs of Iran, rock mass breakwaters is more common than other types of breakwaters.However enough source of good rock deposits is quite rare.In that region, Lomashel rock is Blazer the dominant rock form
