circularly-polarized antenna is built based on new siw(substrate integrated waveguide)structure which contains cavity-backed resonator and a conventional polarized ring with twosquare slits in inner and outer ring that differ 90° at position and is proposed for right-handedcircular polarization (rhcp) and fabricated in two separate layers. a broadband impedancebandwidth of 13.9% and a rhcp axia...

Environmental factors affecting trophic conditions act as stressors on nestling altricial birds. Access of parental birds to a sufficient supply of food in a limited period of the nestling stage differ in time and space, depending on nesting habitat, prey density and weather conditions. Heterophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (H/L) is considered as a reliable indicator of prolonged stress reaction in bi...

Interpersonal misunderstanding is often rooted in noise, or discrepancies between intended and actual outcomes for an interaction partner due to unintended errors (e.g., not being able to respond to an E-mail because of a local network breakdown). How can one effectively cope with noise in social dilemmas, situations in which self-interest and collective interests are conflicting? Consistent wi...

Attempts were made to test the validity of the general view that inferotemporal lesions in monkeys do not result in a visual acuity disorder. It was found in the first experiment that monkeys with total removal of the inferotemporal visual area (TIT monkeys) showed a significant elevation of the discrimination limen for visual patterns of reduced sizes even when compared to monkeys with removal...

Že od vsega začetka je dobro znano, da so se po padcu Troje Ahajci surovo znesli nad preživelimi Trojanci, samo proti dvema, Eneju in Antenorju, zaradi starega gostinskega prijateljstva ker sta zmeraj zavzemala za mir vrnitev Helene, odpovedali slehernemu vojnemu pravu. Nato raznih nezgodah Antenor z množicoEnetov, ki bili upora pregnani iz Paflagonije so, pred Trojo izgubili kralja Pilajmena, ...

OBJECTIVES This computational study aims to (1) use virtual surgery to theoretically investigate the maximum possible change in nasal aerodynamics after turbinate surgery, (2) quantify the relative contributions of the middle and inferior turbinates to nasal resistance and air conditioning, and (3) quantify to what extent total turbinectomy impairs the nasal air-conditioning capacity. STUDY D...

Introducation It is essential for faculty to receive feedback on their teaching for the purpose of improvement as well as promotion. It can be challenging to motivate students to provide feedback to preceptors and fill out evaluation forms when not a clerkship requirement. Furthermore, there is concern that making the evaluations a requirement can compromise the quality of the feedback. The obj...

Spatial analysis of remotely-sensed land cover data in conjunction with species distribution atlases can reveal large-scale relationships between animal taxa and their habitats. We investigated the historical distribution patterns of three declining woodland birds, the Marsh Tit (Poecile palustris), Willow Tit (Poecile montana) and Lesser Spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopos minor), in relation to a...
