This book contains a collection of 24 state-of-the-art contributions in the area of Information Systems Engineering. It was compiled as a tribute to Professor Janis Bubenko on the occasion of his retirement from the University of Stockholm in February 2000. The contributions are arranged in three sections: - Information Society, with such subjects as B2B E-Commerce, human imperfection, stream data management and enterprise modeling - Approaches to Information Systems Engineering, discussing data warehouse development, web-enabled methods, reuse, and meta-data - Concepts for Information Systems, on more fundamental notions such as time, abstraction, co-operation, intention and information All the contributors are well-known and highly reputed scholars in the area of Information Systems Engineering from all over the world.
L'ouvrage fait le point des connaissances sur la biologie et l'écologie de la truite en France, à travers trois thèmes : place dans l'écosystème (habitat, alimentation, organisation sociale) ; biologie des différents écotypes (rivière, lac, mer) et diversité génétique ; gestion des populations naturelles. Public : scientifiques, gestionnaires de la pêche.
Making statistical modeling and inference more accessible to ecologists and related scientists, Introduction to Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling for Ecological Data gives readers a flexible and effective framework to learn about complex ecological processes from various sources of data. It also helps readers get started on building their own statistical models. The text begins with simple models that progressively become more complex and realistic through explanatory covariates and intermediate hidden states variables. When fitting the models to data, the authors gradually present the concepts and techniques of the Bayesian paradigm from a practical point of view using real case studies. They ...
This volume provides a selection of the most significant papers presented at the Second Conference on Fish Telemetry in Europe in La Rochelle, France, in April 1997. The conference was attended by 100 scientists from 18 countries. The contributions are grouped under the following headings: Methodology and New Developments, Tagging Procedures, Behavioural and Physiological Ecology, Fish Migration, Stock Management and Conservation. Particular emphasis was put on tag miniaturisation, multiple functions and sampling strategies. Papers concerned the effects of tags on fish for consolidating behavioural or original physiological investigations noticeably more open to the marine environment. Methods were essentially applied to study the relationships between fish and their natural environment. Besides providing up-to-date information on the state of fish telemetry, the book illustrates the increase in spatial and temporal scales and the number of tracked fish which gives a statistical basis for field study in behavioural ecology.
Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les connaissances écobiologiques, morphologiques et génétiques acquises sur les populations d'aloses de l'Atlantique-Est et de la Méditerranée-Ouest. Après une présentation générale du genre Alosa, trois thèmes sont abordés : la biologie des espèces et des populations (écophases adultes et juvéniles) ; leur variabilité morphologique et génétique (paléontologie, morphologie, génétique) ; l'impact des activités humaines (exploitation, aménagement des cours d'eau) sur l'aire et l'état des stocks.

This book collects the available knowledge about the ecology of Atlantic salmon and contemporary stock assessment methods supporting the specific task of establishing reference points. Bayesian approaches for incorporating uncertainty are front and centre in the book. Stock and recruitment analysis methods, transport of reference points, risk analysis and use of index measures of abundance are presented in a format which can be readily understood and applied by scientists, educators, professionals and undergraduate students.
