Soaring migrants travelling through Israel use three principal routes which are used in the opposite directions during the spring and autumn: (1) the Western Route lies mainly along the western edge of the central mountain range, ( 2 ) the Eastern Route lies mainly along the Jordan Valley, crossing the mountain range during part of the day, continuing southward along the Dead Sea towards the Si...

This paper presents a new version of Routes Generation Matrix Algorithm, called Routes Generation Matrix Improved Algorithm (RGMIA), for determining routes with optimal travel time in public transport network. The method was implemented and tested on the real public transport network in Warsaw city. This network was completed with walk links and therefore resultant routes are more practical and...

he U.S. dollar clearing and settlement system was little noticed during the recent financial crisis, mainly because it performed dependably, processing record volumes and values of trades made in stressed financial markets. Its successful operation was in part a result of the collaborative efforts undertaken by stakeholders over decades to improve risk management and operational resiliency. Und...

Initial and Subsequent Location Choices of Immigrants to the Netherlands The initial settlement behaviour and the subsequent mobility of immigrants who arrived in the Netherlands in 1999 are examined using rich administrative individual data. The study considers the settlement patterns of immigrants from various countries of origin who entered the country as labour, family or asylum migrants. T...

Beginning in the late 1980s, lobster (Homarus americanus) landings for the state of Maine and the Bay of Fundy increased to levels more than three times their previous 20-year means. Reduced predation may have permitted the expansion of lobsters into previously inhospitable territory, but we argue that in this region the spatial patterns of recruitment and the abundance of lobsters are substant...

PURPOSE To study the three-dimensional morphologic features of retinal arteriovenous crossings with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and elucidate the vascular changes associated with crossing phenomena as seen on fundus photographs. METHODS We examined 150 consecutive eyes with no ocular disease. In each eye, fundus photographs were taken, and one randomly selected arteriovenous crossing w...

The mode of inheritance of seedling color and plant pubescence was studied in two crosses among three parents, which differed for these traits. The results have revealed that purple seedling color was dominant over green seedling color and pubescence was dominant over nonpubescence. These two traits segregated independently of each other may be used as morphological markers individually for dif...
