In drylands livestock grazing is the main production activity, but overgrazing due to mismanagement is a major cause of biodiversity loss. Continuous grazing around water sources generates a radial gradient of grazing in...

The objective of this work was to perform a quantitative analysis of the amino acid composition of soybean seeds as affected by climatic variables during seed filling. Amino acids were determined from seed samples taken ...

Based on one - dimensional leaky model for base aquitard of deep excavations, analytical solutions for the excess pore water pressure induced by variation of artesian water head and the corresponding exit gradients in th...

Abstract Circumaortic left renal vein (CLRV) is a rare variation in which two renal veins encircle the aorta prior to draining into the inferior vena cava (IVC) and can be classified into three types based on branching p...

This study compares seven quantum algorithms—Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), Variational Quantum Deflation (VQD), Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), Quantum Amplitude Estimation (QAE), Quant...

Background There are breed differences in several blood variables in healthy dogs. Objective Investigate breed variation in plasma endothelin‐1 (ET‐1) concentration, plasma renin activity, and serum cortisol concentr...

Abstract In response to the problems of large fluctuations in electricity prices and difficulty in long-term forecasting caused by the large-scale integration of new energy in the electricity market, this paper construct...

In this article, we study an infinite horizon optimal control problem with monotone controls. We analyze the associated Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) variational inequality which characterizes the value function and ...

The excessive and indiscriminate use of synthetic insecticides has led to environmental pollution, wildlife destruction, and adverse effects on human health, while simultaneously giving rise to resistance in insect pest ...

ABSTRACT The objective was to investigate the feeding behavior of sheep in marandu grass (Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu) pastures under continuous stocking with the same average height and different horizontal structu...

Partially clonal plants are common and often act as ecological foundation species. Patterns of clonal genotypes (genets) and their vegetative modules (ramets) in natural populations remain poorly documented. Knowledge ga...

Animal promoters initiate transcription either at precise positions (narrow promoters) or dispersed regions (broad promoters), a distinction referred to as promoter shape. Although highly conserved, the functional proper...

A self balancing system analysis is presented which utilizes freely moving balancing bodies (balls) rotating in unison witha rotor to be balanced. Using Lagrange«s Equation, we derive the non-linear equations of motion ...

The most compelling models concerning the peopling of the Americas consider that modern Amerindians share a common biological pattern, showing affinities with populations of the Asian Northeast. The aim of the present st...

This article presents the challenges of transliterating Kazakh proper names written in the Cyrillic script into English, especially against the backdrop of the government-led transformation of the Kazakh writing system f...

The arrival and dispersal of human populations in the Americas remains a very controversial issue especially regarding the number of migration waves. Craniofacial variation between ancient and recent Amerindians has been...

Aim: Clutch size is a key life-history trait. In lizards, it ranges over two orders of mag-nitude. The global drivers of spatial and phylogenetic variation in clutch have been extensively studied in birds, but such tests...

Introduction. Stator flow-oriented control is currently the most widely used system in industry or in previous research for improving the quality of mechanical power generated by permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM...

About 80% of angiosperms form a monosporic Polygonum-type embryo sac, whereas in the remaining species, eleven other types of embryo sac are found. Evidence as to the type of embryo sac is lacking for many plant species,...

Increasing leaf dry matter and phenolic content in tomato has the potential to enhance plant resilience, a key requirement for food security and sustainable agriculture in the context of climate change. However, phenolic...

This paper proposes a high-frequency wireless power transfer (WPT) system. This system achieves zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and the constant current (CC) and constant voltage (CV) outputs regardless of load variations a...

Introduction. Self-excited induction generators (SEIGs) play a vital role in renewable energy systems, particularly in remote regions. However, their performance is highly sensitive to excitation capacitance, rotor speed...

Niche construction theory has increasingly received attention in paleoanthropology as a new focus for considering the evolutionary consequences of hominin tool-use and cultural adaptation starting in the Pleistocene. Mod...

In poorly known groups for which data are insufficient to develop biologically plausible model-based approaches to phylogeographical analyses, a ‘first hypotheses’ protocol is suggested as offering the best way to ge...
