ABSTRACT We evaluated the local population dynamic of two epiphytic species, Syrrhopodon helicophyllus and Thysananthus amazonicus, over six years from 2014-2020, both before and after the fire event which occurred in th...

Abstract The current study employs Bayesian-regularization optimizer technique with artificial neural networks (BROT-ANNs) to investigate the significance of local thermal non-equilibrium influences on wax + sand-bas...

Preservation of pelvic perfusion during endovascular repair of aortoiliac aneurysmal disease is clinically significant, especially in patients with contralateral internal iliac artery (IIA) occlusion. Although iliac bran...

Abstract Jurassic sandy mudstone formations are common in the Ordos mining area, and the diagenetic period is relatively late. The lithological characteristics and creep mechanical properties of this formation form the b...

When males have high reproductive investment and female quality is variable, male assessment of sexual partners is expected. Allocosa alticeps (Mello-Leitão 1944) is a nocturnal wolf spider that shows a reversal in th...

Abstract Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by Leishmania spp., transmitted to hosts through the bite of female phlebotomine sandflies, with domestic dogs serving as reservoirs for the disease. Understanding the...

Dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) serve a significant role in regulating ecosystem services on rangelands. However, the influence of grazing management on dung beetle communities remains largely unknown. The purpo...

Morphological anomalies in phlebotomine sand flies are reviewed and updated with abnormalites observed in Venezuela on the species L. trinidadensis, L.shannoni, L. lichyi and L. gomezi, and the description of a teratolog...

The Late Oligocene Huagang Formation in the Xihu Depression, East China Sea Shelf Basin, records typical braided river delta deposits. However, the influence of astronomical forcing on sand-body distribution remains uncl...

Portland cement production is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions, and the scarcity of natural river sand limits conventional concrete production. Despite increasing interest in geopolymer concrete (GPC), studies...

Book review on Dušan Coufal – Adam Pálka (edd.), Conflict after Compromise Regulating Tensions in Multi-Confessional Societies in the Fifteenth Century, Sandstein, Dresden 2024, 188 s., ISBN 978-3-95498-830-3

This study investigates the tensile mechanical properties of gray sandstone under dynamic impact. Drawing on the one-dimensional stress wave theory, we conducted a one-dimensional spallation experiment using a 50 mm diam...

This study investigates the ingestion of microplastics (MPs) by zooplankton in the surf zone of southwestern Atlantic sandy beaches, an extremely turbulent environment with high interaction between suspended particles. S...

The study reports photographic evidence of range extension for three avian species: Western Tragopan Tragopan melanocephalus (Gray, 1829), Tibetan Snowcock Tetraogallus tibetanus (Gould, 1854), and Tibetan Sandgrouse Syr...

The presence of calcium sulfate (CaSO4) impacts soil structure, bonding, pore size distribution, and water-holding characteristics, altering both compaction characteristics and soil water characteristic curves (SWCC). In...

Abstract We report sand fly collections in the proximity of two major cities in the state of Acre, Brazil, and cite 19 species as new state records. These, along with other previously recorded phlebotomines from Acre, br...

The bodies of animals host millions of microbial communities collectively known as the microbiome. The microbiome plays a crucial role in various processes related to the host’s health and well-being. Although our unde...

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer bars are currently used to reinforce concrete in an attempt to overcome the corrosion issue encountered with ordinary steel. Different types of surface treatment were applied to the smooth ...

Tesis de Maestría La presente investigación está destinada a examinar el desarrollo institucional y socioeconómico del Banco Español del Río de la Plata y reconstruir principalmente la trayectoria de los miembros d...

Beach-ridge systems are a common feature of prograding coastlines and they have been recognized as important archives of late Quaternary sea level. In this paper, the combination of Landsat images and shuttle radar topog...

A facile method for the preparation of cobalt ferrite nanotubes by use of bacterial cellulose nanoribbons as a template is described. The proposed method relays on a simple coprecipitation operation, which is a technique...

La temprana adscripción del Orlando furioso a la llamada "literatura del Renacimiento", no permitió reconocer su significación fundacional para la producción de discursos eurocéntricos relacionados con procesos de c...

Intra-specific color variation is often underestimated by researchers, and among mammalian species, intra-specific differences in coloration are poorly documented for most species. The main goal of this study was to appl...

The first public product of the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) is its Conceptual Framework. This conceptual and analytical tool, presented here in detail, will underpin all IPBE...
