Eleonora's falcon (Falco eleonorae) is a rare raptor species that delays its breeding period until late summer to feed its young with passerines at the peak of autumn migration. Since the 1950s, this slender winged falcon has been believed to migrate along a historical route via the Red Sea to its main wintering area in Madagascar. In our study, we used satellite telemetry to investigate the re...

Under suitable assumptions, the nonlinear dynamics of surface gravity waves can be modeled by the one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Besides traveling wave solutions like solitons, this model admits also breather solutions that are now considered as prototypes of rogue waves in ocean. We propose a novel technique to study the interaction between waves and ships/structures during ex...

Despite progresses in the last decades in the comprehension of specificity, the core questions of how it is encoded in the grammar and how it determines the syntax/semantics interplay remain open. This paper describes a new perspective for tackling these questions based on a fine grained syntax/semantics for noun phrases. The proposed format should be able to account for the variety of specific...

The authors present a simple system for disability scoring and functional staging of an ataxic patient, based on modifications of a previous scheme advocated by De Falco and collaborators (1979). This system was tested under field conditions in 47 ataxic subjects and found to be useful and functional.

Abstract. In ultraoligotrophic lakes of Andean Patagonia, microbial assemblages at the base pelagic food webs bear high THg concentrations compared to planktonic consumers. this study, we evaluate experimentally passive and active (trophic) uptake Hg2+ using 197Hg2+ trace Hg incorporation in picoplankton (autotrophic heterotrophic bacteria), photoautotrophic phytoflagellate, Gymnodinium paradox...
