—Maternal defensive behavior against predators may appear risky but is common in many species. Herein we describe maternal defensive behavior of mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) against Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) predatory attempts. We found that Golden Eagles attacked goats in 1.9% of sightings (n = 311 sightings of active Golden Eagles over 12 years) but were never successful. Mothe...

This paper presents the performance of carrier Frequency offset estimation algorithm for golden encoded MIMO OFDM system. Basically Algebraic Space Time Code (ASTC) has three major encoding methods they are Golden, TAST and DAST encoding. But Golden encoder provides an efficient performance while compared with the TAST and DAST. Carrier frequency offset estimated for Golden code multiple input ...

In this paper, we analyze the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of Golden coded Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) system over Rician multipath fading channel. We also compare the performance of the MIMO-OFDM system using Golden code in Rayleigh and Rician multipath fading channels. We discuss the effects of the presence of line-of-sight (LoS) c...

In this study we develop the Mathematics of Harmony as a new interdisciplinary direction of modern science. The newest discoveries in different fields of modern science based on the Mathematics of Harmony, namely, mathematics (a general theory of hyperbolic functions and a solution to Hilbert’s Fourth Problem, algorithmic measurement theory and “golden” number theory), computer science (the “go...

the present study was carried out in 2011 to measure concentration of heavy metals chromium and tin in liver and muscle tissue of liza aurata (golden grey mullet) in estuaries of the rivers babolroud, tajan and gorganroud. accordingly, after sampling the target are asandisolating muscle (18samples) and liver (18samples) tissues, they were digested and analyzed using graphite furnace atomic abso...

BACKGROUND Genetically engineered "Golden Rice" contains up to 35 microg beta-carotene per gram of rice. It is important to determine the vitamin A equivalency of Golden Rice beta-carotene to project the potential effect of this biofortified grain in rice-consuming populations that commonly exhibit low vitamin A status. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine the vitamin A value of intrinsic...

Since at least the time of the Ancient Greeks, scholars have argued about whether the golden section-a number approximately equal to 0.618-holds the key to the secret of beauty. Empirical investigations of the aesthetic properties of the golden section date back to the very origins of scientific psychology itself, the first duties being conducted by Fechner in the 1860s. In this paper historica...

We propose a generalization of the golden section based on division in mean and extreme ratio. The associated integer sequences have many interesting properties. 1. GENERALIZED GOLDEN RATIOS There have been many generalizations of the number known as golden ratio or golden section, φ = 1+ √ 5 2 . Examples are G.A. Moore’s golden numbers [10] and S. Bradley’s nearly golden sections [5] (see also...

"Golden Hour" of neonatal life is defined as the first hour of post-natal life in both preterm and term neonates. This concept in neonatology has been adopted from adult trauma where the initial first hour of trauma management is considered as golden hour. The "Golden hour" concept includes practicing all the evidence based intervention for term and preterm neonates, in the initial sixty minute...

INTRODUCTION The golden proportion has been used in dentistry in an attempt to improve facial function and, possibly, esthetics by simplifying the diagnosis of facial and dental disharmony. The aim of this study is to analyze pre- and postoperative cephalometric tracings of lateral cephalograms of patients with class II and III deformities submitted to orthognathic surgery, and verify if the 13...
