Mistletoes are aerial hemiparasitic plants which occupy patches of favorable habitat (host trees) surrounded by unfavorable habitat and may be possibly modeled as a metapopulation.A metapopulation is defined as a subdivided population that persists due to the balance between colonization and extinction in discrete habitat patches.Our aim was to eva
Cardiac surgery induces many physiologic changes including major inflammatory and sympathetic nervous system responses.Here, we conducted a single-centre pilot study to generate hypotheses on the potential immune impact of adding high spinal anaesthesia to general anaesthesia during cardiac surgery in adults.We hypothesized that this strategy, prev
The study aims to expound some biomechanical variables of backwards flip and landing on (uneven bars ) and expounding video framing on some of those variables.The subject sample consisted of (4) students from the college of physical education whom were deliberately selected and homogenized according to body mass , physical age and training experien
Abstract College and university biology majors who are not climate change deniers may yet be unaware of the degree of scientific consensus on climate change and unprepared to communicate about climate science to others.This study reports on a population of climate change accepting biology majors at a large, private research university in the Americ
Energy-saving lamps are equipped with converters enabling high energy efficiency at the cost of injecting very distorted currents on the mains.The problem is more complex in the emerging smart-lighting scenario where these lamps are also used to perform additional tasks.Harmonics mitigation at the lamp level is expensive; consequently, an optimal l
