Abstract Regional innovation policies are currently influenced by a series of territorial innovation models, with the regional innovation system (RIS) approach being one of the prominent examples. The rationale of smart specialization strategies (S3s) is deeply influenced by the RIS concept and highlights the importance of entrepreneurial discovery and

Population Dynamics of Ervilia castanea (Montagu, 1803) Hints at Evolutionary Processes Shaping North‐East Atlantic Insular Sandy Habitats [PDF]
Shallow‐water sandy habitats of volcanic oceanic islands are among the most geologically and ecologically dynamic marine habitats on Earth. We investigate the population genetic patterns of Ervilia castanea, an infaunal marine bivalve with a planktotrophic larvae inhabiting Macaronesian shallow‐water sandy habitats.

Anthropogenic CO2 in the Azores region [PDF]
The AZORES-I cruise was conducted in August 1998, spanning the length of three latitudinal large-scale sections at 22, 28 and 32ºW. The oceanic carbon system was oversampled by measuring total alkalinity, total inorganic carbon and pH. It is thus possible to estimate anthropogenic CO2 (CANT) and to investigate its relationship with the main water ...

Phanerozoic Large Igneous Province, Petroleum System, and Source Rock Links
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

The Azores Countercurrent [PDF]
Abstract New light is shed on Worthington's concept of the North Atlantic circulation, postulating the existence of two anticyclonic gyres. This concept, which seems to have been laid to rest in the last decade, has now been reinforced by the results of a simple linear Sverdrup circulation model yielding a band of westward transport all across the ...
