TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the economic consequences of pollinator decline by measuring the contribution of insect pollination to the world agricultural output economic value, and the vulnerability of world agriculture in the face of the decline of pollinators.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate how the MERRA and MERRA-2 global meteorological reanalyses as well as the Meteosat-based CM-SAF SARAH satellite dataset can be used to produce hourly PV simulations across Europe.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of drying air temperature and velocity on the model constants and coefficients were evaluated by a multiple regression technique, and the results showed that, increasing the drying air temperatures and velocities causes shorter drying times.

TL;DR: Pomegranate extracts and juices were characterised by HPLC-DAD-ESI/MS(n) using collision-induced dissociation experiments in this article, where the ellagitannins were found to be the predominant phenolics in all samples investigated, among them punicalagin ranging from 11 to 20g per kilogram dry matter of mesocarp and peel as well as 4-565mg/L in the juices.

TL;DR: Investigation of individual determinants of fish consumption behaviour based on cross-sectional data collected in Belgium shows that determinants as hypothesised by the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) and personal characteristics influence fish consumption intention and frequency.

TL;DR: A dynamic index structure called an R-tree is described which meets this need, and algorithms for searching and updating it are given and it is concluded that it is useful for current database systems in spatial applications.
Abstract: In order to handle spatial data efficiently, as required in computer aided design and geo-data applications, a database system needs an index mechanism that will help it retrieve data items quickly according to their spatial locations However, traditional indexing methods are not well suited to data objects of non-zero size located m multi-dimensional spaces In this paper we describe a dynamic index structure called an R-tree which meets this need, and give algorithms for searching and updating it. We present the results of a series of tests which indicate that the structure performs well, and conclude that it is useful for current database systems in spatial applications

TL;DR: A model based on n-ary relations, a normal form for data base relations, and the concept of a universal data sublanguage are introduced and certain operations on relations are discussed and applied to the problems of redundancy and consistency in the user's model.

TL;DR: A mathematical model is developed to provide a theoretical framework for a computer-oriented solution to the problem of recognizing those records in two files which represent identical persons, objects or events.
Abstract: A mathematical model is developed to provide a theoretical framework for a computer-oriented solution to the problem of recognizing those records in two files which represent identical persons, objects or events (said to be matched). A comparison is to be made between the recorded characteristics and values in two records (one from each file) and a decision made as to whether or not the members of the comparison-pair represent the same person or event, or whether there is insufficient evidence to justify either of these decisions at stipulated levels of error. These three decisions are referred to as link (A 1), a non-link (A 3), and a possible link (A 2). The first two decisions are called positive dispositions. The two types of error are defined as the error of the decision A 1 when the members of the comparison pair are in fact unmatched, and the error of the decision A 3 when the members of the comparison pair are, in fact matched. The probabilities of these errors are defined as and respecti...

TL;DR: The major variations of the B-tree are discussed, especially the B+-tree, contrasting the merits and costs of each implementation and illustrating a general purpose access method that uses a B- tree.
Abstract: B-trees have become, de facto, a standard for file organization. File indexes of users, dedicated database systems, and general-purpose access methods have all been proposed and nnplemented using B-trees This paper reviews B-trees and shows why they have been so successful It discusses the major variations of the B-tree, especially the B+-tree, contrasting the relatwe merits and costs of each implementatmn. It illustrates a general purpose access method whmh uses a B-tree.
