Abstract We studied the site ecology of Salvia brachyodon (Lamiaceae), a narrow endemic eastern Adriatic, which is now restricted to only three sites, using sigmatistic method and numerical analyses. Four floristically ecologically well-defined groups stands, representing different syntaxa, were identified, corresponding sampling sites. The majority stands represent dry (sub)Mediterranean rocky...

We analyze here how much carbon is being accumulated annually by secondary tropical dry forests (TDFs) and structure, composition, time since abandonment, climate can influence the dynamics of forest accumulation. The study was carried out in Santa Rosa National Park Guanacaste province, Costa Rica Mata Seca State Minas Gerais, Brazil. Total storage accumulation were obtained for both sites fro...

We study queue abandonment from a hospital emergency department. We show that abandonment is influenced by the queue length and the observable queue flows during the waiting exposure, even after controlling for wait time. For example, observing an additional person in the queue or an additional arrival to the queue leads to an increase in abandonment probability equivalent to a 25-minute or 5-m...

BACKGROUND Treatment abandonment (TxA) is recognized as a leading cause of treatment failure for children with cancer in low-and-middle-income countries (LMC). However, its global frequency and burden have remained elusive due to lack of global data. This study aimed to obtain an estimate using survey and population data. METHODS Childhood cancer clinicians (medical oncologists, surgeons, and...

BACKGROUND Picking up prescriptions is an essential but previously unstudied component of adherence for patients who use retail pharmacies. Understanding the epidemiology and correlates of prescription abandonment may have an important effect on health care quality. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the rates and correlates of prescription abandonment. DESIGN Cross-sectional cohort study. SETTING One...

Problem, research strategy, and findings The negative impact of vacant abandoned housing in city neighborhoods is extreme, affecting health quality life, promoting violence, leading to further abandonment. One approach addressing intervene with low-cost interventions that provide a visual sense ownership. We tested whether remediation houses or trash cleanup intervention would make noticeable d...

As weather deteriorates, breeding animals have a diverse array of options to ensure survival. Because of their mobility, birds can easily abandon territories to seek out benign conditions away from the breeding site. The timing of abandonment, however, may have repercussions for territory size, mate quality, reproductive success, and survival. There is a large body of evidence indicating that t...

In this paper, in order to model breach of contract risk, we design and value a bundled option that is composed of contract abandonment and price renegotiation. We show numerically that the bundled option is more valuable for the contract than either of the options, ie, contract abandonment and price renegotiation, in isolation. This value increases monotonically as the spot price becomes more ...

Brownfields particularly in old city centers reveal the story of abandonment and concealment, shaping identity collective memory urban areas. Therefore, research practice must prioritize both reutilization heritage values. This study on regeneration historical brownfields Tehran, capital Iran, assesses public perceptions redeveloped brownfields. Based their approach to patrimony, categorized re...
