Hence the human sciences itself could be the subject of future studies. In this study, we have tried to discuss the role of future studies in knowledge management in the field of humanities. Theref...

Significantly more occlusion bodies (OB) of DuPont viral construct HzSNPV-LqhIT2, expressing a scorpion toxin, were transported by artificial rainfall to cotton plants from sandy soil (70:15:15 sand-silt-clay) than from silt (15:70:15) and significantly more from silt than from clay (15:15:70). The amounts transported by 5 versus 50 mm of precipitation were the same, and transport was zero when...

VLF radio propagation recordings are used to determine the characteristics of nighttime polar lower D region ionosphere. Recordings both phase and amplitude in Arctic on days within ?1–2 weeks equinoxes enable their day-to-night changes be determined. These then combined with previously measured daytime find characteristics. The determined were summer; NRLMSISE atmosphere model is help height c...

In cold dark matter models, a galaxy's dark matter halo is more spatially extended than its stars. However, even though the five well-constrained gravitational lenses with time delay measurements must have similar dark matter distributions, reconciling the Hubble constant estimated from their time delays with local estimates is possible only if that dark matter distribution is as compact as the...

Free-fare public transport policies potentially increase walking to stops, but may replace other active travel modes with unknown effects on total travel. We compared behaviour of children living in a Finnish city free-fare reference city. Children were recruited from primary school grades 4–6 21 participating schools, located 11 neighborhood pairs Mikkeli (free-fare bus) and Kouvola (no bus). ...
