Occurrence of Yersinia spp. in wild ruminants was studied and the strains were characterized to get more information on the epidemiology of enteropathogenic Yersinia in the wildlife. In total, faecal samples of 77 red deer, 60 chamois, 55 roe deer and 27 alpine ibex were collected during 3 months of the hunting season in 2011. The most frequently identified species was Y. enterocolitica found i...

These researches were carried out in order to introduce the species Primula officinalis into culture and establish an ecological cultivation technology.
 The Hill., synonymous with veris L., popularly known as cowslip, common cowslip or primrose, is a perennial, herbaceous species, being one of 400 genus. In some countries from Europe, this on verge extinction, due intensive harvesting spo...

ALPINE is to our knowledge the first anytime algorithm to mine frequent itemsets and closed frequent itemsets. It guarantees that all itemsets with support exceeding the current checkpoint’s support have been found before it proceeds further. Thus, it is very attractive for extremely long mining tasks with very high dimensional data (for example in genetics) because it can offer intermediate me...

According to theory, homoploid hybrid speciation, which is hybrid speciation without a change in chromosome number, is facilitated by adaptation to a novel or extreme habitat. Using molecular and ecological data, we found that the alpine-adapted butterflies in the genus Lycaeides are the product of hybrid speciation. The alpine populations possess a mosaic genome derived from both L. melissa an...

Southeastern Yunnan has 4,996 species and varieties of 1,357 genera and 186 families of native seed plants recorded. Floristic attributes and biogeographical affinities of the flora were studied by analyzing its floristic composition and geographical elements. Tropical genera comprise a majority (68.83%) of the flora and those of tropical Asian distribution contribute to 27.34% of the total gen...

A gravity and geologic survey was carried out over a port ion of the Nelson ultramafic belt of the South Island . In this region, the ultramafic rocks outcrop over a 5-mile-wide belt and abut against the Alpine greywacke along the right lateral transcurrent Alpine Fault. The dunite and peridotite of the ultram afic belt as well as the overlying geosynclinal sediments strike north . At their sou...

The raw beauty of the alpine life zone, present on all continents, has long held the fascination of geographers and naturalists. Scientific work in alpine tundra has focused on glaciology, hydrology, terrestrial ecology and climatology, with surprisingly little previous research on stream ecology. We initiated a comprehensive study of alpine stream ecology involving a year-round sampling progra...

Wireless sensor network (WSN) shows unique advantages in cold alpine area comparing with traditional in-situ monitoring approaches. This paper presents two WSN applications in cold alpine area, one in the Hulugou watershed and the other in the Babaohe watershed, both of which are situated in the upper mountainous reach of the Heihe River Basin of West China. Apart from introductions to the two ...

With the aim of identifying the factors of alpine skiers' biomotor status in predicting their specific skills, three variable sets were used, comprised of the total of 24 measures (9 variables for assessing anthropometric characteristics, 8 variables for assessing motor abilities and 7 variables for assessing specific ski skills of alpine skiing), on a sample of 79 ski instructor candidates. Af...
