To study natal dispersal and recruitment to the breeding population in Bonelli’s Eagle, two nestlings were tagged with satellite transmitters in the Iberian Peninsula in 2002. Their monthly ranges and distances were computed and fitted to regression models to describe their general trend. One bird, a female, dispersed and settled rapidly in an area which she explored intensively during four yea...

This paper briefly charts the development of accounting during the Industrial Revolution and shows a mirroring of the development of the UK professional accounting bodies. This is used as a platform to consider the efforts made by one of these bodies, CIMA (in its current manifestation) to demarcate territory and establish its position alongside other professional bodies. The main argument of t...

Background: Clinical information about stroke in the vertebrobasilar territory has lagged behind that for anterior circulation syndrome. This is the first report from posterior circulation syndrome registry in Iran. Methods: Consecutive patients with brain infarction in vertebrobasilar territory admitted to Ghaem hospital, Mashhad were enrolled in a prospective study during 2006-2007. Diagnosis...

Efforts to internalize data sharing in research practice have been driven largely by developing international norms that have not incorporated opinions from researchers in lowand middle-income countries. We sought to identify the issues around ethical data sharing in the context of research involving women and children in urban India. We interviewed researchers, managers, and research participa...

Wiebers DO. Duration of cigarette smoking is the strongest pre-dictor of severe extracranial carotid artery atherosclerosis. Response We would like to thank Dr Alpert for his comment on our article, in which we demonstrated that extracranial carotid atherosclerosis is increasing in Japanese patients with brain ischemia. 1 We also reviewed some vascular risk factors possibly related to our findi...

Geoid modelling for India is a complex, exhaustive and continuous task because of its large area and tremendous varieties of surface. This paper reviews available geoid models for Indian Territory developed through geometric, gravimetric and hybrid methods for Northern, Eastern, Southern, and Western regions and presents a summary of further scope for the geoid development in India.

This document describe some of the most important aspects of the living lab proposal for a smart territory, our proposal include the development of a solution for both city and rural areas, we depict some efforts already available in rural and city and make a proposal to integrate a solution which combine several problems shared by cities and rural areas. Our proposal is based on a model that p...

We consider a geographic optimization problem in which we are given a region R, a probability density function f(·) defined on R, and a collection of n utility density functions ui(·) defined on R. Our objective is to divide R into n sub-regions Ri so as to “balance” the overall utilities on the regions, which are given by the integrals ̃ Ri f(x)ui(x) dA. Using a simple complementary slackness a...

Individuals born without one hand (congenital one-handers) provide a unique model for understanding the relationship between focal reorganization in the sensorimotor cortex and everyday behavior. We previously reported that the missing hand's territory of one-handers becomes utilized by its cortical neighbor (residual arm representation), depending on residual arm usage in daily life to substit...

BACKGROUND Insula infarction is an early computed tomographic sign of middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory stroke and may affect cardiovascular autonomic function. OBJECTIVE To determine insula involvement in MCA territory infarction and its relationship with infarcts in the remainder of the MCA territory, stroke severity, and clinically relevant cardiovascular conditions. DESIGN Case ser...
