Role of early post-settlement mortality in recruitment of benthic marine invertebrates
(1997-08)Newly settled invertebrates usually are subject to high rates of mortality (Type III survivorship). Therefore, knowledge of early post-settlement events is critical in determining if and when patterns of abundance and ... -
Role of grazing by sea urchins Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis in regulating the invasive alga Codium fragile ssp tomentosoides in Nova Scotia
(2005)To assess the potential of herbivory in regulating the invasive green alga Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides, field and laboratory experiments were conducted with the green sea urchin Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis ... -
Role of interfaces in the magnetoresistance of Au/Fe/Au/Fe multilayers
(APS through AIP, 2003-02/01)By using the fully relativistic spin-polarized screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method and the corresponding Kubo-Greenwood equation resistivities and the giant magnetoresistance are evaluated for Fe/Au/Fe/Au spin valves ... -
