Validating layer-specific VASO across species

Validating JavaScript Guidelines across Multiple Web Browsers

Nowadays, JavaScript is the language for developing dynamic websites. Previously, several guidelines were published about how to write efficient JavaScript code. Our research focuses on whether programmers should still adhere to these guidelines or can they rely on the state-of-the-art JavaScript execution engines to achieve good performance results. In this paper, we present the experiments wh...

Nesting behaviour influences species-specific gas exchange across avian eggshells

Carefully controlled gas exchange across the eggshell is essential for the development of the avian embryo. Water vapour conductance (G(H2O)) across the shell, typically measured as mass loss during incubation, has been demonstrated to optimally ensure the healthy development of the embryo while avoiding desiccation. Accordingly, eggs exposed to sub-optimal gas exchange have reduced hatching su...

Mapping and Validating Case Specific Cognitive Models

This study proposes a visual methodology to validate complex solution processes in the context of ill-structured problem solving. This experiment is anchored in the context of medical case-based teaching. The case validation activity proposed is modeled on the authentic case presentation practice performed by physicians. We are using a computer-based learning environment (BioWorld) to present a...

Change of Species Diversity in Vascular Plants Across Ecological Species Groups

Biodiversity plays a crucial role in stability and productivity of natural ecosystem. The main goal of this research was to classify ecological groups in steppe rangeland and investigate their relationships with plant diversity indices. Therefore, fifty different Land Unit Tracts (LUT) were identified in Khod-Neuk basin, Yazd province, Iran, in 2010. Vegetation and soil samples were taken in th...
