Streamflow is often the only variable used to evaluate hydrological models.In a previous international comparison study, eight research groups followed an identical protocol to calibrate 12 hydrological models using observed streamflow of catchments within the Meuse basin.In the current study, we quantify the differences in five states and fluxes o
Living benthic foraminifera were investigated in three tourist marinas of the Central Adriatic in order to test the suitability of these organisms for a quick and cost-effective assessment of the ecological quality status (EcoQS).Local high concentrations of biocidal metals (Cu, Zn, Cr, Sn, Ni and Pb) were measured in the sediments nearby the boath
Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid neurotoxin that remains widely used worldwide and persists in the environment, resulting in chronic exposure to non-target insects.To accurately map dose-dependent effects of such exposure across taxa, toxicological assays need to assess relevant modes of exposure across indicator species.However, due to the difficul
System dependability is pivotal for the reliable execution of designated computing functions.With the emergence of cloud-fog computing and microservices architectures, new challenges and opportunities arise in evaluating system dependability.Enhancing dependability in microservices often involves component replication, potentially increasing energy
