Preliminary Study on the Total Carbon, Organic Carbon Content, and Degradation Rates of Shells in Filter-Feeding Shellfish by Duyu CHEN, Jihong ZHANG, Wei SUN, Yi LIU, Wenguang WU, Xue GONG, Bing LI

“…Filter-feeding shellfish not only achieve long-term carbon sequestration through shell calcification but also significantly impact the marine carbon cycle through their physiological activities and post-mortem degradation processes. Filter-feeding bivalves, as a crucial group in coastal aquaculture ecosystems, play a substantial role in carbon sequestration by filtering particulate organic carbon, such as phytoplankton and organic debris, during their growth processes. …”

Avaluació de la qualitat docent i promoció de professorat universitari by Josep Carreras

“…The procedures for selecting faculty members provided for in each of these included elements that permitted various aspects of the teaching quality of candidates to be evaluated; but throughout the period in which these laws were in force, there were no generally established practices for evaluating university lecturers, due to the reluctance among the faculty members to subject themselves to evaluation and to the persistence of the competitive examination system for acceding to a teaching post that was assured for life. During the early years of the transition to democracy, various attempts were made to introduce a law that might bring the organisation and the functions of the universities in line with the country’s new socio-political situation; but they were all to fail because of a lack of parliamentary support, until that is in 1983 when the socialist government introduced the University Reform Act. …”
