Heliothermy (heat gain by radiation) has been given a prominent role in basking lizards. However, thigmothermy (heat gain by conduction) could be relevant for heating in small lizards. To ascertain the importance of the different heat transmission modes to the thermoregulatory processes, we conducted an experimental study where we analyzed the role of heat transmission modes on heating rates an...

In this article we explore the theoretical limits of the inference of cultural transmission modes based on sparse population-level data. We approach this problem by investigating whether different transmission modes produce different temporal dynamics of cultural change. In particular, we explore whether different transmission modes result in sufficiently different distributions of the average ...

Time dependent experiments with evanescent modes (photonic tunneling) can be performed with high precision and at a macroscopic scale with microwaves in the range of meters or in the infrared regime in the range of centimeters. The infrared technology is the present day digital signal processing and transmission. Superluminal (faster than light) signal transmission by evanescent modes was shown...

context hepatitis b virus (hbv) and hepatitis c virus (hcv) infections constitute a major global health problem. about 60,000 and 350,000 deaths occur as the results of hbv and hcv infections, respectively. chronic hepatitis b and c infections are leading causes of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) which are considered as the third cancer-associated cause of deaths worldwide. iran su...

We investigate the efficient free-space excitation of high-Q resonance modes in deformed microcavities via dynamical tunneling-assisted coupling. A quantum scattering theory is employed to study the free-space transmission properties, and it is found that the transmission includes the contribution from (1) the off-resonance background and (2) the on-resonance modulation, corresponding to the ab...

in this work the synthesization process of nanocrstallite nd:ktp powders by modified pechini methodwas studied. the results of xrd studies indicate that ktp nanocrystallites doped by nd has orthorhombicphase. the structural and lattice modes of the synthesized nanocrystallite products were investigated byusing micro raman back scattering and ft-ir transmission spectroscopies. sem imaging techni...
