BACKGROUND Significant improvements can be made in recoding surgical procedures, particularly in capturing high-quality video recordings from the surgeons' point of view. This study examined the utility of the GoPro HERO 3+ Black Edition camera for high-definition, point-of-view recordings of plastic and reconstructive surgery. METHODS The GoPro HERO 3+ Black Edition camera was head-mounted o...

A software project has “Hero Developers” when 80% of contributions are delivered by 20% of the developers. Are such heroes a good idea? Are too many heroes bad for software quality? Is it better to have more/less heroes for different kinds of projects? To answer these questions, we studied 661 open source projects from Public open source software (OSS) Github and 171 projects from an Enterprise...

In this document I will try to describe, to the best of my knowledge, the work and the results that are available online on problems related to the offered skills while leveling up a hero in HOMM-III. A new result is presented in section 4.4 as well as two unified tables with probabilities for hero classes; namely tables 3 and 4. Those that are interested in the problem might want to have a loo...

It is important for conservation biologists to understand how well species persist in human-dominated ecosystems because protected areas constitute a small fraction of the Earth's surface and because anthropogenic habitats may offer more opportunities for conservation than has been previously thought. We investigated how an important functional group, pollinators (bees; Hymenoptera: Apiformes),...
