Fighting animals use a variety of information sources to make strategic decisions. A neglected potential source of information is an individual's own performance during a fight. Surprisingly, this possibility has yet to be incorporated into the large body of theory concerning the evolution of aggressive behaviour. Here, by experimentally dampening the impact of their shell rapping behaviour, we...

Host resistance is the most widely explored strategy for eliminating aflatoxin contamination by Aspergillus flavus. Breeding strategies for developing resistant corn germplasm have been enhanced by the development of new screening tools for field inoculation and for laboratory screening. RFLP analysis of corn populations has highlighted the possibility that different resistance traits can be su...

Cell-free massive distributed antenna system (CF-MDAS) can further reduce the access distance between mobile stations (MSs) and remote points (RAPs), which brings a lower propagation loss higher multiplexing gain. However, interference caused by overlapping coverage areas of RAPs will severely degrade performance in terms sum-rate. Since that clustering mitigate interference, this paper, we inv...

Education is an essential component for nations preparing to take advantage of the opportunities and confront challenges 21st century. Universities, colleges, research centers must work effectively efficiently achieve maximum results. In order provide a comparable verifiable evaluation such institutions’ efforts, administrators need adopt measurement tools as those offered by multi-criteria dec...

OBJECTIVE The term "receptor-associated prorenin system" (RAPS) refers to the pathogenic mechanisms whereby prorenin binding to its receptor dually activates the tissue renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and RAS-independent intracellular signaling via the receptor. The aim of the present study was to define the association of the RAPS with diabetes-induced retinal inflammation. RESEARCH DESIGN AN...

BACKGROUND The ability to assess the risk of a patient developing pressure sores is a major issue in pressure sore prevention. Risk assessment scales should be valid, reliable and easy to use in clinical practice. AIM To develop further a risk assessment scale, for predicting pressure sore development and, in addition, to present the validity and reliability of this scale. METHODS The risk ...

A Pandemia da COVID-19 ocasionou muitos saldos negativos: a sobrecarga imediata do sistema de saúde, diminuição recursos na área saúde para outras condições clínicas, o impacto interrupção nos cuidados várias crônicas e elevação transtornos mentais dos traumas psicológicos provocados diretamente pela infecção ou por seus desdobramentos secundários. Diante disso, têm-se como objetivo analisar os...
