The Amazonia biome hosts upland closed and open vegetation ecosystems, in which the current biogeographical patterns relate to evolution of physical landscape. Therefore, understanding origin timing substrates supporting different ecosystems is indispensable for better comprehension Amazonian biogeography. Here we used quartz optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) thermally transferred (TT-OSL...

INTRODUCTION This chapter concludes the model of internet consumer behavior by describing some key moderating variables such as gender, need for cognition (NFC) and optimum stimulation level (OSL)(Figure 1).

To facilitate the research of mobile robot based odor source localization (OSL) and evaluate different strategies for the OSL, numerical simulation of odor plume in indoor ventilated environments is addressed. On the basis of the FLUENT software package, the 3-D wind field of an indoor ventilated environment is calculated using the Reynolds average approach, where the real wind velocity measure...

A formal specification method called RTOSL ('Real-Time Object Specification Logic') for the objectoriented approach is presented: We have extended the object specification logic OSL ([SernadasA et al. 92b]) so that real-time constraints can be included in a specification in an elegant way. Concepts of real-time temporal logic have been applied to this end. Characteristics of RTOSL (different fr...

This study presents preliminary results of research on pre-Angkorian canals near the ancient settlement of Angkor Borei in the southern Mekong delta of southern Cambodia. The canals have been mapped by aerial photograph interpretation and investigated in the field by hand auger drilling of two canal traces and trenching of one of these. Luminescence profiling through the canal infill successful...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of EDTA, lysozyme, or the combination of EDTA and lysozyme on the antibacterial activity of ovotransferrin against Escherichia coli O157:H7. Ovotransferrin solutions (20 mg/mL) containing 100 mM NaHCO3 (OS) with added EDTA (2.0 or 2.5 mg/mL), lysozyme (1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 mg/mL), or both were prepared. The antibacterial activities of OS, OSE (OS+EDT...
