(2) Territorial space ecological protection and restoration is historically unavoidable due to the current phase of societal development, driven by the natural environment and the necessity to establish an ecological civilization. (3) To implement territorial spatial ecological protection and restoration effectively and rationally, it is essential to comprehend its systematicity, territoriality, dynamics, and scientificity. …”

Physical, natural, socio-economic and historic particularities created favorable conditions maintaining several rare cultivated plants and practices.Thanks to the international scientific cooperation project (PICS) « La Montagne et ses Savoirs », we have collected (between October 2013 and April 2014) a series of interviews with farmers, merchants or inhabitants of the region, in two sites: Tafza and Bellota.We present here the results of a modest comparison between the agro-biological diversity and the linguistic diversity, through some of the vernacular taxinomy concerning fruits and fruit trees.…”

Finding product sets in some classes of amenable groups by Dimitrios Charamaras, Andreas Mountakis

“…In [15], using methods from ergodic theory, a longstanding conjecture of Erdős (see [5, Page 305]) about sumsets in large subsets of the natural numbers was resolved. In this paper, we extend this result to several important classes of amenable groups, including all finitely generated virtually nilpotent groups and all abelian groups $(G,+)$ with the property that the subgroup $2G := \{g+g : g\in G\}$ has finite index. …”
