using the same grass resources in a region is of fundamental importance in ecology and management of herbivore communities. This project aims at improving the understanding of the ecology of the grazers’ [...] particularly how the spatial scale of resource use influences resource partitioning among grazers that attain different density in the same region. In the Benin national parks, the rare resource specialist [...] counts from the Pendjari Biosphere Reserve in combination with detailed vegetation analysis. Specifically, we will investigate how the quality of grass, the abundance of grass biomass, and the associated

Generally, the NKR represents the key-reaction [...] electrocatalytic systems both for the conversion of organic compounds and for the utilization of carbon dioxide. The use of sub-stoichiometric charge quantities for the catalysis of redox-neutral reactions [...] experiments. The necessity for using large quantities of supporting electrolytes represents a further challenge in electrosynthesis. Once the reaction is complete, the salt must be separated from the reaction

It turns out that the localization of energy is quite similar to the formation of droplets [...] that 1-factorisations of the complete graph are special subsets in the sense of Delsarte. The same is true for hyperfactorisations and other generalisations of 1-factorisations.
