Abstract The Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests and Woodlands biome (SDTFW) has its largest nucleus in the Caatinga domain. We characterized flora physiognomy of vegetation Pedra da Andorinha Wildlife Refuge (RPA), Ceará, Brazil. Plant collections were made between March/2015 May/2021, applying usual botanical methods. All material was deposited HUVA herbarium. phytosociological studies covered fi...

The mangrove environment is not globally homogeneous, but involves many environmental gradients to which mangrove species must adapt and overcome to maintain the familiar structure and physiognomy associated with the mangrove ecosystem. The stature of mangroves, measured by tree height, decreases along the following environmental gradients from low to high salinity, low to high wind speed, high...

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) left behind the largest collection of self-portraits in the history of art. These portraits were painted over a period of 41 years, using a realistic technique. To evaluate Rembrandt's aging process we studied 25 uncontested Rembrandt oil self-portraits by means of objective and descriptive techniques. By measuring brow position changes through the years, we demon...

It is important to establish an appropriate transporting machine on the seafloor for deep ocean mining of cobalt-rich manganese crusts, as the physiognomy of cobalt-rich manganese crusts is complex and often varies. In view of the complexity of terrain of cobalt-rich manganese crusts and huge weight that need to be supported during ocean mining, a project of the six−legged walking robot driven ...

Abstract For the first time, based on revision of herbarium collections, resettlement alien flora faction species in Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) was divided into four stages. Of 117 invasive District, 47 ones were registered for time before construction Trans Siberian railway, i.e. at turn 1900s, 30 - from 1900 to World War II, 29 1940 1980, targeted study faction, and 11 1980 present. ...

An increasing number of management articles have focused on embodied ethnography in terms either understanding other bodies at work or how our own as researchers inform knowledge. In advancing this latter approach, we argue for an embodiment that sensually intoxicates bodies, enabling new forms learning to emerge. To grow understanding, draw Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s concept ‘le schéma corporel’,...
