This study explores the impact of COVID-19 on travellers’ future recreational vehicle, cabin and tent camping decisions extending construal level theory. Findings suggest that considera...

Fistulous communications of the uterus are relatively unknown. We report in this paper the first case to our knowledge of uterocutaneous fistula which developed following a septic abortion induced by introduction of Laminaria tent into the uterus.

Air-rib tents are widely used because they lightweight and site adaptable, but the large deformation of these reduces their effective space. It is important to reduce displacement air-rib tent by parameter optimization. The influences external factors on studied in this paper. Four parameters tent’s wind ropes angle ropes, number initial prestress side or end faces. influence larger than other ...

We consider the tent map as the prototype of a chaotic system with escapes. We show analytically that a small, bounded, but carefully chosen perturbation added to the system can trap forever an orbit close to the chaotic saddle, even in presence of noise of larger, although bounded, amplitude. This problem is focused as a two-person, mathematical game between two players called "the protagonist...

We investigate the existence of rules (in the form of binary patterns) that allow the short-term prediction of highly complex binary sequences. We also study the extent to which these rules retain their predictive power when the sequence is contaminated with noise. Complex binary sequences are derived by applying two binary transformations on realvalued sequences generated by the well known ten...

Chaotic multimodal skew tent maps are constructed to design an efficient chaos-based image encryption scheme with an efficient permutation-diffusion mechanism, in which permuting the positions of image pixels incorporates with changing the grey values of image pixels to confuse the relationship between cipher-image and plain-image. In the permutation process, a multimodal skew tent map is utili...

Patterns of dispersion and site fidelity were investigated in a tentroosting population of the short-nosed fruit bat, Cynopterus sphinx (Megachiroptera), in southern India. A local population of C. sphinx occupied diurnal roosts in a variable subset of 45 stem tents constructed within the dense foliage of mast trees (Polyalthia longifolia). Individually marked tent-roosting bats were visually c...

Patients wearing complete dentures for a long time usually exhibit lack of bone and keratinized mucosa in the bearing area due to bone resorption. The patients suffering from this phenomenon usually have unstable and non-retentive complete denture, which result in constant trauma to the mucosa, pain, functional limitations and worsening of facial esthetics. An innovative technique has been desc...
