Abstract We documented the foraging activities of woodpeckers on selected trees in an established conservation-oriented management study five oak-dominated forests Hungary. examined tree species preference as a group and impact specific characteristics habitat use woodpeckers. estimated percentage visible signs trunks upper limbs through winter early spring 2019–2020. Based Jacobs’ index, prefe...

Although airway epithelia are primarily devoted to gas exchange, they have to fulfil a number of different tasks including organ maintenance and the epithelial immune response to fight airborne pathogens. These different tasks are at least partially accomplished by specialized cell types in the epithelium. In addition, a proximal to distal gradient mirroring the transition from airflow conducti...

The effect of nerve lesions upon the dendritic branching of the metathoracic 'fast' coxal depressor motoneurone in the adult cockroach, Periplaneta americana has been studied by intracellular cobalt injection. Dendrites may sprout after several nerve trunks entering the metathoracic ganglion are lesioned. Direct surgical damage to the neurone is not a pre-requisite for sprouting. New sprouts ma...

In this paper, we propose an approach that enables automatic, fast and accurate tree trunks segmentation from three-dimensional (3-D) laser data. Results have been demonstrated in real-time on-board a ground mobile robot. In addition, we propose an approach to estimate tree diameter at breast height (dbh) that was tested off-line on a variety of ground laser scanner data. Results are also prese...

This document describes a common practice on how the existing metric of Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP) can be used as an alternative metric to the Traffic Engineering (TE) metric for Constraint Based Routing of MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering tunnels. This effectively results in the ability to perform Constraint Based Routing with optimization of one metric (e.g., lin...

In the first part of our review of cardiac development, 1 we discussed the initial changes involved in transformation of the heart forming regions of the embryo into the great veins, the atrial and ventricular chambers, and the arterial trunks. We showed that this first part of cardiac development could be divided into phases of formation of the primary myocardial tube, looping of the tube, dur...

Endoclita signifer is a major wood-boring pest of eucalyptus trees in China, and its third instar larvae can accurately find infest mixed-species forests, although it also feed on another 51 tree species the same planted area. A total 34 volatile compounds were identified from trunks, including non-infested infested trunks with single or multiple (more than three) larval entrance cover packets,...
