s a tool for analysis and decision making, GIS and remote sensing opened a new horizon for monitor and control of diseases. Information on landuse, water bodies, vegetation, forest cover and others can be used as data sets in GIS for mapping of disease receptivity and identification of risk factors. GIS offers new and expanding opportunities to look into disease epidemiology. Even when used min...

ZGARBOVÁ, M.: Fundamental phenomenological categories of garden and landscape. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2012, LX, No. 8, pp. 299–306 The current scientifi c methods describing gardens and landscapes all over the world are not always suffi cient for the purpose of deep understanding of specifi c and close relations between landscape/ garden and its inhabitants/visitors. A new ...

We show new results about the garden-hose model. Our main results include improved lower bounds based on non-deterministic communication complexity (leading to the previously unknown Θ(n) bounds for Inner Product mod 2 and Disjointness), as well as an O(n · log n) upper bound for the Distributed Majority function (previously conjectured to have quadratic complexity). We show an efficient simula...

Gardens represent important sources of goods and services for their owners. This functionality translates directly into the types of plants cultivated in a given garden, and terminology has been developed to distinguish each category of garden according to its purpose. The factors explaining the differentiation and distribution of gardens have not previously been explored at the global scale. I...

RC1: Anonymous Referee #1 This small note describes a good experimental dataset collected in two contracted landuse areas. The manuscript has to be amended with hypothetical explanation of processes causing the observed multifractal properties. Otherwise it is purely descriptive narrative that does add to science. The recommendations of soil reclamation have to be substantiated with suggestions...

A computationally efficient acoustic ray-tracing code based on unstructured adaptive grids is described in detail. The use of unstructured grids allows wave propagation simulations on complex computational domains. Detailed surface layer physics is included to take into account the atmospheric variability under different stability conditions and landuse inhomogeneities. The ray-tracing model ha...

Tranditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was successfully used in many cases of chronic disease treatment. The fungus garden of termite, a mixture of leaves, growing fungi, and secretion of termite, is often used for protection of the liver, and treatments for disorder diseases, Parkinson's disease (PD), and so on. However, the mechanism is unknown. To reveal the effective component, we applied the ...

BACKGROUND Childhood obesity is an epidemic. Strategies are needed to promote children's healthy habits related to diet and physical activity. School gardens have the potential to bolster children's physical activity and reduce time spent in sedentary activity; however little research has examined the effect of gardens on children's physical activity. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) exam...
