COMPARISON OF THE DIVERSITY OF GROUND BEETLE (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE) ASSEMBLAGES IN SMALL AND LARGE TEMPERATE PEAT BOGS

Comparison of the diversity of ground beetle (Coleoptera: Carabidae) assemblages in small and large temperate peat bogs

We present a study comparing assemblages of ground beetles between small and large pristine peat bogs in Central-Eastern Europe, to better understand biodiversity variability in peatland ecosystems in tundra patches in the temperate zone.We found that Shannon diversity and Pielou evenness indices and species composition for carabid assemblages of s

The impact of negative interest rates on the pricing of options written on equity: a technical study for a suitable estimate of early termination

This work aims to investigate the main problems that impact the pricing models and the sensitivity measures of American options written on shares without a pay-out, in the presence of negative interest rates with a specific focus on the Monte Carlo method.The first paragraph carries out a review of the anomalies caused by such an odd condition here

Experimental and numerical investigation of biosensors plasmonic substrates induced differences by e-beam, soft and hard UV-NIL fabrication techniques

This paper compares plasmonic substrates manufactured by three lithography methods: E-beam, soft and hard UV NanoImprint Lithography.The different plasmonic modes existing in samples made of an array of gold nanostructures on gold film are investigated for biochemical detections taking advantage of Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging (SPRI) and iphon
