Accurate quantification of stormwater pollutant levels is essential for estimating overall contaminant discharge to receiving waters. Numerous sampling approaches exist that attempt to balance accuracy against the costs associated with... more
Summary 1. No-take reserves are a common tool for fisheries management and biodiversity conservation in marine ecosystems. Despite much discussion of their benefits, data documenting many reserve effects are surprisingly scarce. Several... more
The combined use of data obtained from different analytical instruments is a complex problem.In this paper the potential of coupling three analytical techniques for building a class model for extra virgin (e.v.) olive oil from Liguria,... more
Yellow sticky-traps and a modified Johnson-Taylor suction-trap were used to index the relative population dynamic of leafhoppers associated with sesame in the east Mediterranean region of Turkey. Comparison of the obtained results... more
The determinination of an adequate collection protocol for protists is critical in the examination of their distribution and composition in temperate headwater streams. The objective of this study was to test which sampling design/sample... more
Abstract. Low-discrepancy point distributions exhibit excellent uniformity properties for sampling in applications such as rendering and measurement. We present an algorithm for generating low-discrepancy point distributions on arbitrary... more
Objective: The main interest of this article is to explain one of the most common incidences that occur during the drawing of random samples: over-representation of social categories. Method: In that sense, the population sample obtained... more
