In Global South countries, ageing is an incoming phenomenon with socio-spatial implications that are not much explored yet. North countries already facing trends significant territorial consequences, such as declining populations contribute to making certain areas marginal. However, different factors may determine the marginality of a municipality or region in other settings. Drawing on these p...

Different substances such as dimethyl sulfoxide, tetramethylene sulfoxide, 2-pyrollidone, and the naturally occurring compatible solute betaine enhance PCR amplification of GC-rich DNA templates with high melting temperatures. In particular, cyclic compatible solutes outperform traditional PCR enhancers. We therefore investigated the effects that cyclic naturally occurring ectoine-type compatib...

recently, zhang and song [q. zhang, y. song, fixed point theory forgeneralized $varphi$-weak contractions,appl. math. lett. 22(2009) 75-78] proved a common fixed point theorem for two mapssatisfying generalized $varphi$-weak contractions. in this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem fora family of compatible maps. in fact, a new generalization of zhangand song's theorem is given.

abstract almond is an important nut tree which is cultivated in many mediterranean countries. this study was carried out to study some vegetative and reproductive traits as well as qualitative and quantitative characteristics and their correlation in some self-compatible and self-incompatible genotypes obtained from crossing between touno (male parent) and shahrood 12 (female parent). quantitat...

Statistical hypothesis tests are a cornerstone of scientific research. The informative when their size is properly controlled, so the frequency rejecting true null hypotheses (type I error) stays below prespecified nominal level. Publication bias exaggerates test sizes, however. Since scientists can typically only publish results that reject hypothesis, they have incentive to continue conductin...
