In this work, we aim to provide a connection between energy consumption during hiking and its relation optimum logistic preparations in mountaineering-based tourism. Such is calculated based on data from track profiles heart rate of persons taking the track. It then used as input solve optimization problems term preparations. Here, demonstrate such actual condition Mount Sindoro, Central Java, ...

Hitch-hiking to a site under balancing selection is expected to produce a local increase in nucleotide polymorphism and a decrease in population differentiation compared with the background genomic level, but empirical evidence supporting these predictions is scarce. We surveyed molecular diversity at four genes flanking the region controlling self-incompatibility (the S-locus) in samples from ...

Although humans are a major mechanism for short and long distance seed dispersal, there is limited research testing clothing as a vector. The effect of different types of material (sports vs hiking socks), or different items of clothing (boots, socks, laces vs legs) or the same item (socks) worn in different places on seed composition were assessed in Kosciuszko National Park, Australia. Data w...

Differences in pelvic obliquity between small groups of persons with unilateral lower limb amputation and subjects without amputation were analyzed. Kinematic walking data were collected as six males with transtibial amputation and three males with transfemoral amputation walked over a range of speeds. The pelvic obliquity patterns and amplitudes from the groups with amputation were compared to...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To determine the causes and characteristics of pediatric recreational wilderness deaths. METHODS All deaths of children between 12 months and 20 years of age involving a wilderness recreational activity in 5 western Washington counties between 1987 and 1996 were identified by medical examiners' logs. Univariate analysis was used to examine variables such as age, gender, activi...

The objective often explored in Web-based route planners is to find an optimal route in a network for a given mode of transport. Usually this involves searching for the cheapest route corresponding to some cost function. For many types of trips, not all desired route properties can be satisfied in this way. Following is a proposed solution for planning hiking trips. The method can easily be tra...

The plant Silene latifolia has separate sexes and sex chromosomes, and is of interest for studying the early stages of sex chromosome evolution, especially the evolution of non-recombining regions on the Y chromosome. Hitch-hiking processes associated with ongoing genetic degeneration of the non-recombining Y chromosome are predicted to reduce Y-linked genes' effective population sizes, and S. ...
