Land-use changes result from in the human population, their activities, and social environmental which occur a complex dynamic manner. The change of forested areas to non-forested areas, also known as deforestation, is land-use change. Deforestation influences land cover by creating specific distribution pattern (fragmentation). Almost entire forest has been fragmented into smaller but each the...

The temporal relations among list items exert a powerful influence on episodic memory retrieval. For example, in free recall, participants exhibit marked recency and contiguity effects: temporal proximity of an item to the time of test and temporal proximity of an item to the justrecalled item both serve to promote retrieval. Previous research has focused on the serial position curve as a means...

We present a proof of the explicit formula for asymptotically free eigenfunctions $$B_N$$ q-Toda operator which was conjectured by first and third authors. This can be regarded as branching from eigenfunction restricted to $$A_{N-1}$$ eigenfunctions. The is given contiguity relation recursion coefficients.

According to the comparator process hypothesis (Matute, Arcediano, & Miller, 1996), cue competition in the learning of between-events relationships arises if the judgement required involves a comparison between the probability of the outcome given the target cue and the probability of the outcome given the competing cue. Alternatively, other associative accounts (the Rescorla-Wagner model: Resc...

Elastic optical networks (EONs) have been pointed out as a promising candidate for transporting data with high transmission rates in adaptive optical networks. Consequently, the occurrence of a failure in a simple element may cause the interruption of various services. Survival mechanisms have been crucial to try to overcome the problems created by possible failures. In this paper, we propose a...

revealed that over 90% of cases in Stages II, III, and IV involved lymph node chains that could be considered contiguous by the criterion of direct lymphatic communi cation. A similar pattern was also seen in cases in which posttreatment extensions occurred. It was found that specific patterns of spread were involved in certain seemingly noncontiguous distributions, and the therapeutic implicat...

Hydroxyproline (Hyp) O-glycosylation characterizes the hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (HRGP) superfamily of the plant extracellular matrix. Hyp glycosylation occurs in two modes: Arabinosylation adds short oligoarabinosides (Hyp-arabinosides) while galactosylation leads to the addition of larger arabinogalactan polysaccharides (Hyp-polysaccharides). We hypothesize that sequence-dependent glyc...
