Abstract Global environmental changes have implications for the terrestrial ecosystem functioning, but disentangling individual effects remains elusive. The impact of vegetation responses to increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentrations is particularly poorly understood. As concentration increases, acts as a fertilizer plant growth. An increase in reduces amount water needed produce an equivalent ...

Objective Daytime and nighttime patterns affect the dynamic modulation of brain body functions influence autonomic nervous system response to seizures. Therefore, we aimed evaluate 24-hour electrodermal activity (EDA) in patients with without Methods We included pediatric (a) seizures (SZ), including focal impaired awareness (FIAS) or generalized tonic-clonic (GTCS), (b) no normal electroenceph...

Estimating long-term trends and short-term amplitudes requires reliable temperature (Temp) observations in the pre-industrial period when few situ existed Arctic. Tree-ring materials are most available used to reconstruct past Arctic Temp variations. However, previous studies incorporated that insensitive local variabilities. The derived reconstruction qualities low (indicated by calibration R2...

Climate is a strong predictor of the geographic distribution tree species, and thus climate change may trigger shifts in species and/or its demographic structure. In study, we aim to comprehensively compare distributions four life stages European beech (Fagus sylvatica) (i.e., regeneration, recruitment, young trees mature trees) forests Slovenia, Central Europe, which are characterized by gradi...

OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to test whether the bond strength of a hybrid composite and a PMMA-based veneer to CAD/CAM polymers would improve after pre-treatment and to evaluate the failure types after debonding. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three types of PMMA-based (CAD-Temp, artBloc Temp and TelioCAD) CAD/CAM blocks were obtained (N = 360, n = 15 per test group). They were divided into...

Keeping the arrow velocity constant during consecutive shots and responding to "clicker's fall "are considered to be an important feature of archery performance. A specially designed device called an archery chronometer was developed to measure the reaction time of an archer to clicker's fall, arrow velocity, and external factors that may affect arrow velocity. The purposes of this study were t...

introduction a large volume of sediments are dredged from water bodies such as ports, waterways and wetlands and deposited on land. sediments are typically polluted by contaminants such as heavy metals. metals in sediments are in soluble, carbonate bound, fe-mn oxide, sulfide/organic matter bound and residual fractions. the metal solubility and mobility are mainly controlled by organic matter c...
