A thermograd record obtained over the Ayes Ridge indicated existence, at the time of observation, of a cold layer of water in the lowest 13 meters, undergoing high-frequency internal oscillations. The great discontinuity in temperature across the sedimnent-water interface and the lack of agreement with the normal temperature structure indicate that the layer was a transient feature. This abnorm...

In 1953, botanist Jonathan D. Sauer suggested that our initial motivation to cultivate cereals was not for flour or bread, but for beer (1). The implications of this idea— that a preference for dietary ethanol, or alcohol, sparked the Neolithic Revolution (2)—are profound. No stage of human evolution has left a larger global footprint than the domestication of plants, animals, and landscapes (3...

The aye-aye is a rare lemur from Madagascar that uses its highly specialized middle digit for percussive foraging. This acoustic behavior, also termed tap-scanning, produces dominant frequencies between 6 and 15 kHz. An enhanced auditory sensitivity to these frequencies raises the possibility that the acoustic and auditory specializations of aye-ayes have imposed constraints on the evolution of...

Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’nün (WHO) Mart 2020’de pandemi olarak ilan ettiği COVID-19 salgınının yol açtığı küresel üretim daralması, birçok ülkenin ekonomisini durma noktasına getirmiştir.

Sektördeki şirketlerin finansal performansları, yöneticilerin ve sermaye piyasası ...

When Ayres first presented the theory of sensory integration (SI), she grounded it in the neuroscience literature. Neuroplasticity was then, and is today, considered to be at the heart of this theory. This evidence-based review sought to critically examine the basic science literature to specifically identify evidence for the assumptions and tenets of Ayres' theory of SI. We reviewed literature...

The role of technology in education industry is increasing day by day specially after reaching the growth rate of the IT industry to the saturation point. That is why, even AICTE has closed the affiliation of engineering colleges in number of states. So, education industry can change their plan to survive in this environment by using data mining techniques to identify the outstanding students a...
