Mountain insect biodiversity is unique, but menaced by different drivers, particularly climate and land-use changes. In mainland Portugal, the highest mountain - Serra da Estrela one of most important hotspots, being classified as Natural Park since 1976. Many lepidopteran odonate species, including rare protected are known to occur in Estrela, basic knowledge on their abundance, distribution e...

These notes are dedicated to the analysis of one-dimensional free-congested Navier–Stokes equations. After a brief synthesis results obtained in Dalibard and Perrin (Commun Math Sci 18(7):1775–1813, 2020) related existence asymptotic stability partially congested profiles associated soft congestion Navier-Stokes system, we present first local well-posedness result for

SEPTEMBER 2015 PRACTICAL NEUROLOGY 47 A 61-year-old male with a past medical history of hypertension initially presented in the emergency department with fever, chest pain, and tachycardia. He was found to have a left lower lobe infiltrate on admission chest x-ray. He also had left lower extremity edema. A CT angiogram of the thorax was negative for pulmonary embolism and a lower extremity Dopp...

As a new school year approaches, nurses will find themselves faced with students with symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Navigating the diagnostic label changes and numerous psychopharmacological treatment options can prove time-consuming and confusing. The current article explores the early years of symptom identification, various diagnostic labels, and subsequent psy...

In this study, specimens of Membracidae (Hemiptera: Cicadormorpha) collected from Sinop (Turkey) and its surroundings in 2016-2018 were evaluated. 3 species; Centrotus cornutus (Linnaeus, 1758), Gargara genistae (Fabricius, 1775), Stictocephala bisonia Kopp et Yonke, 1977 identified the study area. Number specimens, localities, Turkey zoogeographical distribution are given. Identified species f...

In this study, the parasites of Pyllotreta atra (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Trabzon were investigated. Samples of P. atra were collected in different localities of Trabzon. Three different types of parasites from P. atra observed are as follows: Gre-garine (Apicomplexa), Nematode (Tylenchida: Allantonematidae) and larvae of certain parasitoids. The most abundant infection found in this study...

This thesis is mainly concerned with theoretical studies of two types of models: quantum mechanical Bose-Hubbard models and (semi-)classical discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (DNLS) models. Bose-Hubbard models have in the last few decades been widely used to describe Bose-Einstein condensates placed in periodic optical potentials, a hot research topic with promising future applications within quan...

Intense turbulence develops in the two-phase flow region of hydraulic jump, with a broad range of turbulent length and time scales. Detailed air–water flow measurements using intrusive phase-detection probes enabled turbulence characterisation of the bubbly flow, although the phenomenon is not a truly random process because of the existence of low-frequency, pseudo-periodic fluctuating motion i...
