Aim How plants can disperse in response to global change is a critical question, yet major knowledge gaps persist about long-distance dispersal (LDD) mechanisms. We studied the potential migratory waterfowl has for LDD of flowering via gut passage seeds (endozoochory), comparing spring and autumn migration. Location United Kingdom Iceland. Taxon Pink-footed Goose (Anser brachyrhynchus, Baillon)...

Fossiliferous deposits at Woranso-Mille span the period when Australopithecus anamensis gave rise to afarensis (3.8–3.6 Ma) and encompass core of A. range (ca. 3.5–3.2 Ma). Within latter period, fossils described date include intriguing but taxonomically unattributed Burtele foot, dentognathic attributed deyiremeda, one specimen securely (the Nefuraytu mandible). These suggest that least additi...

This paper describes a Spice-compatible circuit simulation model of submicron LDD MOS devices. It includes an enhanced model of our previous drain current characteristics (UNIMOS) and a new analytical substrate current model. For the drain current characteristics, new features of our previous model has been added for achieving good accuracy and convergency. In addition, the two-dimensional elec...

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare condition that causes massive lymphadenopathy, most commonly in the cervical area. Cowden syndrome (CS) hamartomas skin and mucosa predisposes individuals to various malignancies. Lhermitte-Duclos (LDD), or dysplastic cerebellar gangliocytoma, often associated with CS. A 41-year-old female all three conditions presented abnormal uterine bleeding endometrial...

Abstract Aim In Taiwan island, recent land‐bridge and oversea dispersal after the appearance of proto‐Taiwan (<6.5 Ma) is responsible for its biodiversity assembly. Radiations have also been widely reported in mountain systems. The tempo‐spatial route to floral hotspot was determined through a meta‐analysis evolution endemic plants. Location island adjacent regions. Taxon Seed Methods Publis...

BACKGROUND This study sought to evaluate the relation between long-term segmental and global functional outcome after revascularisation in patients with chronic ischaemic left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) and baseline markers of viability: late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) transmurality and contractile reserve (CR). METHODS Forty-two patients with chronic ischaemic LVD underwent low-dose dob...

1. In plants, long-distance dispersal (LDD) is a widespread phenomenon of great importance, especially in spatial dynamics such as in metapopulations, invasions and migration. Much has become known about the mechanisms underlying LDD by wind, but selective release mechanisms have received little attention. Recent papers call for particular effort in clarification of the seed release stage of th...

This paper describes the Bricklayer Ecosystem – a freely-available online educational ecosystem created for people of all ages and coding backgrounds. Bricklayer is designed in accordance with a “low-threshold infinite ceiling” philosophy and has been successfully used to teach coding to primary school students, middle school students, university freshmen, and in-service secondary math teachers...
