We examined the effects of long-term industrial pollution, characterized by elevated soil concentrations of Cd, Pb, Cu, and Zn, on the abundance and diversity of grasshopper communities in grass strips along the edges of farmland at various distances from an industrial complex in the Al-Tebbin region of South Cairo, Egypt. Six sites up to 10 km upwind from the main sources of industrial pollution were selected. Grasshoppers were collected monthly from June to October in 2012 and 2013 by sweep-net

commonly called a rotating compensator ellipsometer. The compensator is an optical component that delays the light polarized parallel to its slow axis relative to light polarized parallel to its fast axis by an amount proportional to the refractive index difference along the two directions and the thickness of the plate, and inversely proportional to the wavelength of the

Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is an information infrastructure providing access and enabling interoperability among spatial information based on standards, policies, regulations and coordination mechanisms (Groot R, 1997). The methods for creating SDI undergone radical changes in the recent years like the shift from the product-led model or data-producer-led model to process-led model or data-user model, etc. However, there are some limitations challenging the SDI growth like the lack of standards

Communication (FSO) technology enables high interconnection speed in next-generation services. FSO uses laser links between the transmitter and receiver and provides a lesser propagation delay due to the line-of-sight (LOS) path and lower air refractive index. The performance of the links highly dependent on different weather conditions such as Fog, Turbulence and Rain. In this paper the combined result of Fog, Rain and Turbulence on FSO links are compared and the better modulation technique is suggested

be found in natural materials.[1] They were first theoretically proposed by Veselago in 1968 as materials having negative permeability and permittivity. This is why these are also known as Left Handed Materials (LHM) or Negative Refractive Index materials (NIM). The first discovery in this domain was done by Sir Pendry et al in 1996, who discovered a wire medium with negative permittivity. This was followed by other significant discoveries like negative permeability by Pendry

the Church. The following models utilize the Annual Local Church Reports to model churches progress or change over time. We believe that the use of metrics and the creation of a Vitality Index is an important step forward in helping the denomination develop a shared understanding of vitality. Although this index is a useful step forward in the process of transforming United Methodism, it is an iterative step. It should be examined, considered, and scrutinized by the wider connection it is

and Mexico, in 2014, GDP was nearly at the same growth rate. In the future, I think both countries rate will increase. Another indicator that makes Mexico and the United States so different is inflation. Inflation is also referred to consumer price index. The disinflationary process in Mexico has led to low inflation rates, close to those recorded by its main trading partner, the United States (Carrasco, Ferreiro, 2013, p.350). Consumer costs in the United States expanded 0.5 percent year-on-year in

holding out for the long term. It pushes for classic index funds, which are “the only Investment that guarantees you with your fair share of the stock market returns”(Intro). It contains various graphs throughout the book regarding returns and past performance on different investments. It sells for approximately 10 dollars and its ISBN-13 is 978-0470102107. John C. Bogle is the founder and ex-CEO of Vanguard, known for its low cost and diversified index funds. He has written this book as a straightforward

Before answering the research question, it is imperative to comprehend why performance of ESG-focused funds in general should, or should not, diverge from conventional funds. The first part of this literature review, therefore, assess findings regarding the performance pattern associated with ESG activities. In the specific, the research analyzes the differences between ESG funds and conventional funds. Thereafter, the analysis moves towards the understanding and description of the social/behavioral
