(a. wolgensis l.) growing wild in north of iran. materials and methods: oils of a. wolgensis l. was obtained by means of soxhlet apparatus from leaves and stems. methyl esters were derived from the oily mixtures by trans-este...

Terrestrial isopods were studied in the Dubravica peat bog and surrounding forest in the northwestern Croatia. Sampling was conducted using pitfall traps over a two year period. Studied peat bog has a history of drastically decrease in area during the last five decades mainly due to the process of natural succession and changes in the water level. A total of 389 isopod individuals belonging to ...

This article deals with the textual dialogue between Adonis (born 1930) and al-Niffarī (died in 965 AD) poem, “The Transformations of Lover,” from Adonis’s poetry collection The book Migration Day Night Regions (1965) reveals Adonis’ melting mystic text his own text. First, this discusses Adonis's discovery al-Niffarī- unknown Şūfī who lived margins religious institution time. Then, it e...

Abstract The fragments of a hexameter poem about Dionysus recently discovered in palimpsest (Sin. Ar. NF 66) reveal some different faces Dionysus, including an Adonis-figure at the heart dispute between two goddesses (Persephone and Aphrodite), personified wine-god, Oinos, threatened by machinations his enemies court Zeus. These texts help to illuminate allusions early life god that have long p...

We report in this letter the first resolved images of the circumstellar dust disk around the Pre-Main-Sequence star HD 100546. These near-infrared images were obtained in J and short K bands with the adap-tive optics system ADONIS at the ESO observatory. A bright disk extending 2 arcsec (200 AU) far from the star and viewed with an inclination with respect to the line of sight around 50 degrees...

The combination of the burgeoning interest in efficient and reliable Health Systems and the advent of the Information Age represent both a challenge and an opportunity for new paradigms and cutting-edge technologies reaching a certain degree of maturity. Hence, the use of Semantic Technologies for Automated Diagnosis could leverage the potential of current solutions by providing inference-based...

INTRODUCTION Dronedarone has been shown to reduce cardiovascular hospitalizations or death in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and additional risk factors. This post hoc exploratory analysis examines its effects in the subgroup of lone AF patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Individual data from patients with lone AF enrolled in the EURIDIS, ADONIS, and ATHENA trials were entered in a central ...

{ Wavefront correction by adaptive optics is often only partial and the image of a point-like source consists of a coherent peak superposed on a diiuse halo. If the point-spread function (PSF) is known, the object can be restored by deconvolution techniques. This PSF depends, however, strongly on atmospheric conditions which are variable and on the wavefront sensor reference source. For this re...
