3D printing is used to produce different permeability structural surfaces, and rock-like samples are poured by moulds. The tests on permeability of rock-like samples with consecutive and filling fractures are carried out...

Feeding conditions during the nestling period may significantly affect whole-life fitness in altricial birds but little is known about the physiological mechanisms responsible for these effects. Permanent changes (irreve...

The advance of the agricultural frontier and deforestation are leading to the loss of native forests in the Monte desert (Argentina). Recently, revegetation with native material has emerged as an option to reverse landsc...

Abstract The non-conservation of the energy-momentum tensor in f(R, T) gravity can be interpreted as an effective manifestation of dissipation. Motivated by this, we propose a new formulation of f(R, T) gravity based o...

Abstract Background Concern exists about the variation in maternity services across England, highlighted by various high-profile investigations into care failures. In response, NHS England developed the Core Competency F...

From August 2002 through July 2004, the 24-hour time budget and activity rhythm of 15 captive, wild-caught, adult Sacalia quadriocellata (eight females, seven males) from Qiongzhong, Hainan Island, was observed by all-oc...

Assessing the characteristics of groundwater variations in areas affected by artificial recharge is essential for guiding the groundwater resources management and groundwater ecology. However, it is still a challenging t...

Abstract Background Ethnic inequalities exist in the prevalence of mental disorders and their associated treatment outcomes. Cultural variation may influence psychological symptom expression; understanding this might inf...

Hereditary Hearing Loss (HHL) is a common trait affecting 1 in 2000 new born children. The presence of over 100 different genes involved in HHL, lead us to go on board with Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) in order to search...

Argentine populations of Dichroplus elongatus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) are polymorphic for B chromosomes. Previous studies showed that B chromosomes affect body size and some fitness components in Northwestern populations...

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the monodominant non-pioneer Peltogyne gracilipes, typically does not suffer density-dependent herbivory (Janzen-Connell model). Two components of intraspecific varia...

Six years of simultaneous moored observations near the western and eastern boundaries of the South Atlantic are combined with satellite winds to produce a daily time series of the basin-wide meridional overturning circul...

ABSTRACT The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of cultivation and hay making factors on chemical composition, protein fractionation, and digestibility in rice straw, as well as to identify the chemica...

The condition for invariance under a translation of the coordinate system of the Verdet tensor and the Verdet constant, calculated via quantum chemical methods using gaugeless basis sets, is expressed by a vanishing sum ...

Questions: (1) Can above-ground net primary production (ANPP) of Patagonian meadows be estimated from remote sensing? (2) How does ANPP of Patagonian meadows change in space and time? Location: Northwestern Patagonia, me...

Influence of weight polymer variation towards sodium fluoride patch physical properties. Fluoride has been proven as a material for strengthen teeth. Many fluoride modalities are available nowadays, and the recent is sod...

ABSTRACT Background Malaria remains a significant public health challenge in Sub‐Saharan Africa, including Ghana. Children and adults present with varying clinical and biochemical pictures in response to Plasmodium inf...

Early porcine embryos undergo rapid growth and extensive physiological remodeling during the peri-implantation period. Despite the importance of this developmental window for establishment of pregnancy, the degree of bio...

The optical all-pass filter (APF), which exhibits a constant amplitude response and a variable phase response, is a key to manipulating the optical phase without inducing signal amplitude distortion. High-order APFs are ...

This Campbell systematic review examines the impact of reducing the maximum duration of unemployment benefits on job‐finding rates. Seven studies were included in the review, all of which are from European countries. I...

Altitudinal gradients represent strategic sites for studying the relationships between climate and growth in woody species. Polylepis australis Bitt. is an endemic tree of Central and Northwest Argentina mountains, growi...

The saturated permeability coefficient of soil is an inherent variable due to its inhomogeneity and the inaccuracy of monitoring. To explore the stability and failure probability of bedrock laminar slope under heavy rain...

In the House Wren (Troglodytes aedon), polygyny is characterized by males' partial desertion, males providing little or no help in feeding the nestlings of one of their mates. We evaluated whether contributions to feedin...

In reptiles, many lipid reserve structures were recognized, and different patterns of storage and utilization of lipids have been identified. In this study, a population of Liolaemus koslowskyi was studied to analyze the...
