BACKGROUND Lejeunea is a largely epiphytic, subcosmopolitan liverwort genus with a complex taxonomic history. Species circumscriptions and their relationships are subject to controversy; biogeographic history and diversification through time are largely unknown. METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS We employed sequences of two chloroplast regions (trnL-trnF, rbcL) and the nuclear ribosomal ITS region of 3...

A time-domain numerical code (the so-called Texas code) that solves the Khokhlov-Zabolotskaya-Kuznetsov (KZK) equation has been extended from an axis-symmetric coordinate system to a three-dimensional (3D) Cartesian coordinate system. The code accounts for diffraction (in the parabolic approximation), nonlinearity and absorption and dispersion associated with thermoviscous and relaxation proces...

Objavljivanje prvih dvaju tomova, u nacionalnom ili teritorijalnom smislu, partikularnih enciklopedija, Hrvatske enciklopedije Bosne i Hercegovine Enciklopedije Republike Srpske, intelektualnoj je javnosti otvorila pitanje stvaranja Opće Hercegovine. Ta bi enciklopedija morala posmatrati BiH kao cjelovitu, jedinstvenu zasebnu historijsku, socijalnu državnu tvorevinu isključivo na osnovu naučno ...

Rad prikazuje nastanak posebne židovske protukulture na prijelazu iz 1960-ih u 1970-e godine prošlog stoljeća Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama kao posljedice antiratnog pokreta i za građanska prava. Dijaloška filozofija Martina Bubera, humanizam Ericha Fromma religiozni egzistencijalizam Abrahama Joshue Heschela bitno su oblikovali ideje mlade generacije Židova utjecali njihovu želju obnovom žido...

U radu se ukazuje na važnost biblijskog leksika povezanog s abdominalnim organima, kako u izvorniku, tako i hrvatskim prijevodima. Hebrejske riječi za bubrege jetru Bibliji hrvatski ne prevode uvijek doslovno, kao što to čini ni prijevodima druge jezike, nego katkad prevedu figurativno, zbog čega je provedena semantička traduktološka analiza tih izraza. Abdominalni organi imaju značajnu ulogu, ...

plexity. This conclusion is conceptually similar to our own, and it little alters the broader impacts of our published findings; still, the general relevance of the issues warrants a response. In their reanalysis, Gutierrez-Ibanez et al. [2016] perform a ‘residual analysis’, which regresses body weight on brain weight with phylogenetic generalized least squares (PGLS) to obtain size-corrected r...

The paper is dedicated to the memory of prominent theoretical physicist and mathematician Dr. Vadim Kuznetsov who worked, in particular, in the fields of the nonlinear dynamics, separation of variables, integrability theory, special functions. It includes his short research biography, an account of the start of his research career and the list of publications.

OBJECTIVES To describe the morphological features of atherosclerosis in the aortas of autopsied patients (ranging from young adults to the elderly), thus providing new tools for a more sensitive morphological evaluation. METHOD We collected 141 aorta samples. We assessed the macroscopic degree of atherosclerosis, thickness of the intima and media, lipid and collagen depositions in the intima,...
