TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate individual preferences and social values towards specific technologies of renewables in Lesvos island and apply an open-ended contingent valuation survey in order to analyze factors shaping public attitudes towards a portfolio of renewable technologies and estimate the economic welfare of the preferred technologies.

TL;DR: It is found that except for Oxalis , Mediterranean island ecosystems are quite resistant to invader establishment, and this results support the notion that in Mediterranean ecosystems invasions are highly idiosyncratic events and strongly dependent on water availability conditions.
Abstract: Although some invasive plants are cosmopolitan, not all ecosystems are invaded to the same degree. Yet there is little experimental work on how ecosystem resistance to invasion at the establishment phase differs among ecosystems. We conducted two field sowing experiments in two consecutive years to examine establishment of the deciduous tree Ailanthus altissima , the succulent subshrub Carpobrotus spp. and the annual geophyte Oxalis pes-caprae in coastal dunes, shrublands and oldfields in more than 200 sites across six Mediterranean Basin islands differing in climatic conditions and local species richness. Establishment success (i.e. percentage of plots with at least one seedling) and rates (i.e. seedling to sown seed ratio) were low, especially for Ailanthus even when accounting for differences in seed viability. Oxalis was capable of producing a new cohort of seedlings the year following planting. By contrast, all Ailanthus seedlings and half the Carpobrotus seedlings died following the first summer. Differences in establishment success and rates among ecosystems were species-, island- and year-dependent. Differences in precipitation and mean temperature were associated with differences in establishment rates across sites. Establishment rates tended to be positively correlated with cumulative precipitation and negatively with mean T a . Unexpectedly, native species richness was not a good predictor of seedling establishment, except for higher Oxalis establishment success in species rich habitats. By conducting field sowing tests at multiple sites across a region we found that except for Oxalis , Mediterranean island ecosystems are quite resistant to invader establishment. These results suggest that differences in the degree of invasion between ecosystems and islands might be more dependent upon the influence of invasion event factors (e.g. propagule pressure) or factors acting at a later life-history stages rather than differences in the resistance imposed by ecosystems to invader recruitment. Moreover, our results support the notion that in Mediterranean ecosystems invasions are highly idiosyncratic events and strongly dependent on water availability conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the formation and decomposition kinetics of 24 organic chlorination by-products (CBPs) during chlorination of natural waters and found that the importance of chlorine dose for the formation of CBPs and for the incorporation of organic matter was highlighted.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied reporting disclosure practices on the websites of companies listed in the Cyprus Stock Exchange and found that financial reporting on the internet is not largely adopted for the listed in Cyprus stock exchange, as compared with international evidence in this area.
Abstract: This paper studies reporting disclosure practices on the websites of companies listed in the Cyprus Stock Exchange. The first part of the paper produces and discusses descriptive evidence on internet reporting practices by listed companies with respect to the content of disclosed information and industry type. The second part of the paper undertakes an explanatory effort in order to identify the factors that determine internet reporting practices for listed firms in the Cyprus Stock Exchange. Financial reporting on the internet is not largely adopted for the firms listed in Cyprus Stock Exchange, as compared with international evidence in this area. Firm size has been shown to be the only significant explanatory variable for internet reporting practices.
