This paper, based on hitherto unpublished correspondence between Robert Broom and Paul Adloff, supports the claim that Broom did not, in fact, classify Australopithecus as a member of the hominid family, as propounded by some authors.

Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius [L.] LINK) stands are important seminatural habitats in cultural landscapes of Germany. High structural diversity of broom stands is reflected by a high species diversity of the flora and fauna, giving them a high value for biodiversity conservation. The aim of this study was to assess the composition and structure of ant assemblages among successional stages of ...

A broom is a tree obtained by subdividing one edge of the star an arbitrary number of times. In [E. Flandrin, T. Kaiser, R. Kužel, H. Li and Z. Ryjáček, Neighborhood Unions and Extremal Spanning Trees, Discrete Math. 308 (2008), 2343-2350] Flandrin et al. posed the problem of determining degree conditions that ensure a connected graph G contains a spanning tree that is a broom. In this paper, w...

Abstract Push-broom HSI-cameras have a high spectral resolution but require scanning and stitching to get correct spatial representation of scene. The conventional approach is calculate velocity that matches the camera’s frame rate so becomes trivial. For this work one needs be able apply steadily know distance between camera subject. This contribution presents feature-based directly determines...

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is a valuable ornamental species widely planted in Brazil. Many plants are affected by witches' broom disease, which is characterized by excessive axillary branching, abnormally small leaves, and deformed flowers, symptoms that are characteristic of diseases attributed to phytoplasmas. A phytoplasma was detected in diseased Hibiscus by amplification of rRNA operon sequenc...
