We conducted a study of spatial variation in tree community structure and composition in the Kakamega Forest of western Kenya. We compared the tree communities at two sites, Buyangu and Isecheno, separated by approximately 11 km of contiguous forest. All trees ‡15 cm d.b.h. were censused along transects covering 4.95 ha at Buyangu and 4.15 ha at Isecheno. The structure of the forest at the two ...

The forest patches of Marilog District, Davao are the remnants various anthropogenic activities including logging, conversion land for agriculture, ecotourism and human settlements. Floristic study was carried out in 2018–2019 from 100 established plots measuring 20 x m, with repeated transect walks opportunistic sampling along trails. One-hundred-and-four species understory flowering plants we...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of adding neostigmine to lidocaine in intravenous regional anesthesia (IVRA). DESIGN Randomized, double-blinded study. SETTING Tertiary-care academic medical institution. PATIENTS 40 ASA physical status I and II patients scheduled for elective or emergency forearm and hand surgery. INTERVENTION Patients were randomized to two groups of 20 patients ...

The tropical climate in China exists in southeastern Xizang (Tibet), southwestern to southeastern Yunnan, southwestern Guangxi, southern Guangdon, southern Taiwan, and Hainan, and these southern Chinese areas contain tropical floras. I checked and synonymized native seed plants from these tropical areas in China and recognized 12,844 species of seed plants included in 2,181 genera and 227 famil...

We present the first standardized list of vascular flora Cantabrian Mountains, a transitional zone between Eurosiberian and Mediterranean biogeographic regions in northwestern Spain. The study area comprises 15000 km2 divided UTM grid cells 10 km x km, for which we revised occurrence data reported Spanish Plant Information System (Anthos) online database Iberian Macaronesian Vegetation (SIVIM)....

The list-ranking problem is considered for parallel computers which communicate through an interconnection network. Each PU holds k nodes of a set of singly linked lists. An easy randomized algorithm gives a considerable improvement over earlier ones. For a large class of networks, the algorithm takes only twice the number of steps required by a k-k routing. The only conditions are that: (1) k ...

Using a 2010 review of non-indigenous species (NIS) reported in the Mediterranean Sea as baseline, this study undertakes paramount revision list region up to December 2021, re-evaluating established, casual and failed introduction events over 1366 taxa. In light new data expert judgement, 14 have been removed from “established list” inventory. The total number validated NIS is close 1000—751 es...

The first floristic study of the historical monumental cemetery San Cataldo in Modena (N-Italy) is presented. research was performed period 2019–2022, considering only spontaneous individuals growing within area (4.8 ha). A total 266 taxa (species and subspecies) found, which 1 new for flora Italy ( Malus × robusta ‘John Downie’), 2 administrative region Emilia-Romagna Calocedrus decurrens Salv...

Eleven discernible floristic plant communities were identified in vegetatlon containing Callilris in Tasmania. rhomboidea and C. oblonga largely segregate mlo two sets of communities. These sets occupy distinctly different parts of the environmental range of Callitris in Tasmania. Callitris co-occurs with at least 14% of the Tasmanian native higher plant flora in rainforest, wet eucalypt forest...

United States energy policy mandates increased use of renewable fuels. Restoring grasslands could contribute to a portion of this requirement through biomass harvest for bioenergy use. We investigated which plant community characteristics are associated with differences in biomass yield from a range of realistic native prairie plantings (n = 11; i.e., conservation planting, restoration, and wil...
