The field of extrasolar planets has rapidly expanded to include the detection of planets with masses smaller than that of Uranus. Many of these are expected to have little or no hydrogen and helium gas and we might find Earth analogs among them. In this paper we describe our detailed interior models for a rich variety of such massive terrestrial and ocean planets in the 1-to-10 M⊕ range (super-...

In the present study, we applied the Particle Swarming Optimization (PSO) procedure to parametrize two Local Maxima (LM) algorithms and a pattern recognition model based on raster and point-cloud datasets in order to extract treetops of coniferous forests from high resolution LiDAR-data of different forest structures (monoplane, biplane and multi-layer) in the Alps region. The approach based on...

Firm survival, bankruptcy, and turnaround are of great interest nowadays. Bankruptcy is the ultimate resource for a company to survive when it affected by severe decline. Thus, determinants firm survival in context bankruptcy researchers, managers, policy-makers. Prior literature has broadly studied firm-specific factors success. However, location-specific remain relatively unstudied despite th...

Objetivo. Revisar y analizar literatura sobre valores de selenio (Se) en suero y plasma humanos; describir algunas variaciones; obtener “valores de referencia” para los países de Europa y América Latina, y proporcionar un marco informativo para estudios futuros sobre el tema. Métodos. Se buscó información sobre niveles séricos o plasmáticos de Se en personas declaradas “sanas” en la literatura ...

Andean hylid frogs of the genus Hyla are reviewed. Eight groups of Hyla recognized in the Andes are defined; the species in two of these groups are treated in detail. The large H. armata, characterized by hypertrophied forelimbs and clumps of nuptial spines on the prepoUex and humerus in males, and a stream-adapted tadpole with a LTRF up to 15/17, is the sole recognized species in the H. armata...

According to the dual-process model of recognition memory, recognition is based in part upon attributions about the relative ease of processing a stimulus. Ease of processing can be used as a heuristic for deciding whether an item is familiar. Experimental manipulations of processing fluency in a recognition task can cause a memory illusion by making an item seem more familiar. The memory illus...
