This paper discusses in how far FCA software can be combined with the computer algebra system Sage. The motivation for this paper is teaching mathematics to software engineering students using Sage and FCA which highlights differences and connections between mathematical and computational structures. Furthermore, this paper provides implementation details on how Sage’s functions for matrices, g...

background and objective:   the aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical effects of a mouthwash containing sage (salvia officinalis) extracts on streptococcus mutans (sm) causing dental plaque in school-aged children. material and methods: a double blind clinical trial study was conducted in a dormitory on 70 girls aged 11-14 years having the same socioeconomic and oral hygiene conditions....

The concentration of animals in hedgerows also attracts predators from the surroundings 43’ (Fig. 6.10), just as hunters are attracted to wooded strips.299 Where large woods are scarce, certain owls and other predators require two or more smaller woods for their home range. So in a corridor connecting the woods, not much escapes the eyes and silent wing-beat of an owl. Nevertheless, compared wi...

Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) occupy sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) habitats in 11 western states and 2 Canadian provinces. In September 2015, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced the listing status for sage-grouse had changed from warranted but precluded to not warranted. The primary reason cited for this change of status was that the enactment of new regulatory mechanism...

The purpose of the study was to determine the role of land use, seasonality, and hydrometeorological conditions on the relationship between stream water potassium (K+) concentration and discharge during different types of floods-short- and long-duration rainfall floods as well as snowmelt floods on frozen and thawed soils. The research was conducted in small catchments (agricultural, woodland, ...

We have used an off-line 3-D chemical transport model (CTM) to investigate the 11-yr solar cycle response in tropical stratospheric ozone. The model is forced with European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) (re)analysis (ERA-40/operational and ERAInterim) data for the 1979–2005 time period. We have compared the modelled solar response in ozone to observationbased data sets that ...

AIM The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of intramammary infusion of sage (Salvia officinalis) essential oil (EO) on milk somatic cell count (SCC), milk composition parameters and selected hematology and serum biochemical parameters in 20 Awassi ewes affected with subclinical mastitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The dried leaves of sage were used to extract the EO by hydrodistillati...

The study aimed to assess the long-term population dynamics of questing Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Rhipicephalus zambeziensis in two landscape zones of the Kruger National Park (KNP). Ticks were collected by dragging the vegetation monthly in three habitats (grassland, woodland and gully) at two sites in the KNP (Nhlowa Road and Skukuza) from August 1988 to March 2002. Larvae were the mos...

This study examines changes in long bone diaphyseal strength in west-central Illinois from the Middle Woodland through the Mississippian periods. Significant differences occur between the Middle Woodland and the Late Woodland periods, at the time when use of native seed crops intensifies. In females, both humeral and femoral strength increases, which may be related to their role in growing and ...
