Scholars have argued that multiparty elections a profound and immediate influence on mass evaluations of political support. However, what is less clear whether the effects are short lived or long lasting. Investigating dynamic perceptions regimes has implications popular foundations democratic consolidation in an era backsliding. This article examines electoral cycles citizens' satisfaction wit...

Spotted-wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii , has become one of the most widely studied insect species over last decade, largely due to its recent invasion and rapid expansion across Americas Europe. Unlike other drosophilid species, which colonize rotting fruit, SWD females possess a serrated ovipositor that allows them lay eggs in intact ripening causing significant economic problems fo...

Abstract Introduction Irritability has been proposed to be a core symptom of male-specific major depressive disorder (MDD), with greater propensity experiencing anger attacks and overreacting minor annoyances compared females MDD. Males MDD have also shown exhibit pattern reduced slow-wave sleep (SWS) that is not characteristic females. Because SWS implicated in the homeostatic regulation neuro...

We study the classical and quantum models of a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) cosmology coupled to a perfect fluid in the context of f(R) gravity. We use the Schutz’ variational formalism for the perfect fluid and show that it leads to a time parameter for the corresponding dynamical system. This formalism gives rise to a Schrödinger-Wheeler-DeWitt (SWD) equation for the quantum cosmology of ...

Ultra-wideband synthetic aperture radar (UWB SAR) is a sufficient approach to detect landmines over large areas from a safe standoff distance. Feature extraction is the key step of landmine detection processing. On the one hand, the feature vector should contain more scattering characteristics to discriminate landmines from clutters; on the other hand, the dimensionality of feature vector shoul...

The article presents the results of conditions circular distribution seismic vibrations generated during rock blasting. Scales Dynamic Influences [SWD] harmfulness vibration velocity on a two-storey building [SWDI] and five-storey building[SWDII] are given. value safe for construction buildings has been determined. They in Zone II Influence Scale SWD I II. magnitude components at same distance ...

ObjectiveThe participation of patients with advanced cancer(s) in clinical trials is vital for new drug development. We aimed to investigate patients’ decision-making processes and satisfaction their decision participate (SWD); the study’s purpose was provide results that can help support high-quality research trials. In addition, we explored how shared (SDM) mediates relationship between under...

As the share of global offshore wind energy in electricity generation portfolio is rapidly increasing, grid integration large-scale farms becoming interest. Due to intermittency wind, stability power systems challenging. Therefore, accurate and fast short-term speed forecasting tools play important role maintaining reliability safe operation system. This paper proposes a novel hybrid model base...

IMPORTANCE Laryngomalacia (LM) classically presents with stridor in early infancy but can present atypically with snoring and/or sleep-disordered breathing (S-SDB) or swallowing dysfunction (SwD). The epidemiology of these atypical presentations has not been established in the literature. OBJECTIVE To document the primary modes of presentation for LM in a consecutive series of children and to...

The expanding science of circadian rhythm biology and a growing literature in human clinical research on circadian rhythm sleep disorders (CRSDs) prompted the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) to convene a task force of experts to write a review of this important topic. Due to the extensive nature of the disorders covered, the review was written in two sections. The first review paper, ...
