Development of new tillers in smooth bromegrass is largely Smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss) is poorly adapted to determinant, with synchronized elevation and elongamanagement-intensive rotational grazing because of slow and limited tion of new apical meristems above the soil surface regrowth potential.

Maybe due to this belief, it is used during cemetery visits in some regions. Although it is a well-known plant in cosmetics, and there is a lot of studies about its different medical properties, anticancer studies performe...

The skeletal age on the basis of the diaphyseal length of long bones was assessed. To this aim a sample of subadults skeleton, dated to last century, coming from the cemetery of Bologna was studied. The sample is composed by 79 males and 70 females between 0 and 12 years, whose chronological age and sex are known. Some information can be obtained by the means, standard deviation and graphs of t...

A general problem confronting archaeologists is the seriation (or sequence-dating) problem. Sir W.M. Flinders Petrie, a famous archeologist, was the first to formulate this interesting and important problem in mathematical terms almost one hundred years ago. The problem of trying to chronologically order grave sites in a cemetery where each grave contains (or does not contain) a number of diffe...

A network model applied to settlement and cemetery sites on Rome’s Danube River frontier in Bavaria, Germany, shows that many communities, through participation in regional and long-distance ...
