Abstract We surveyed occurrence and activity of large- medium-sized mammals on six commercial mini-rotation short-rotation coppice (SRC) plantations in northern Germany by camera trapping different seasons (winter, late summer). In total, eleven species (6–9 per site) were detected. This corresponds to the majority mammal occurring study region. Roe deer, wild boar red fox found across all site...

Background: Systematic and purposeful study of self-efficacy beliefs of Iranian nurses in the face of occupational stressors requires understanding the importance of studying this issue and then having a suitable tool to measure it in this group. This study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the short form of Occupational Coping Self-Efficacy for Nurses Scale (OCSE-N) among Iranian...

background: proper rotation of components in total knee arthroplasty (tka) will largely affect the postoperative outcome. ethnical variation may affect rotational profile. we aimed to evaluate distal femur rotation in iranian population using transepicondylar axes.   methods : from a total of 450 knee ct scans and via consecutive sampling, 150 qualified subjects with normal lower extremities al...

the aim of this case report was to introduce an appliance for correcting severe rotation of anterior teeth in the mixed dentition period. a 9-year-old iranian boy with a mixed dentition class i malocclusion complained of a severely rotated of upper right central incisor. there was a mesiodens between the central incisors. the supernumerary tooth was first extracted and then a whip appliance whi...

BACKGROUND Feedstock cost is a substantial barrier to the commercialization of lignocellulosic biorefineries. Poplar grown using a short rotation coppice (SRC) system has the potential to provide a low-cost feedstock and economically viable sugar yields for fuels and chemicals production. In the coppice management regime, poplars are harvested after 2 years' growth to develop the root system an...

The purpose of the present study was to seek evidence that mental rotation is accomplished by transforming a representation held in visual short-term memory (VSTM). In order to accomplish this goal, we utilized the sustained posterior contralateral negativity (SPCN), an electrophysiological index of the maintenance of information in VSTM. We hypothesized that if mental rotation is accomplished ...

introduction left ventricular (lv) twist is believed to store potential energy and plays an important role in generating diastolic suction. recent advances in echocardiography techniques have allowed quantification of lv twist. the aim of the present study was to compare lv twist and torsion in healthy human subjects determined by velocity vector imaging (vvi) and tissue doppler imaging (tdi) a...

Spatially resolved velocity profiles are presented for nine faint field galaxies in the redshift range 0.1 ∼ < z ∼ < 1, based on moderate–resolution spectroscopy obtained with the Keck 10 m telescope. These data were augmented with high–resolution Hubble Space Telescope images from WFPC2, which provided V and I photometry, galaxy type, orientation, and inclination. The effects of seeing, slit w...

The measurement of d coefficients from second-harmonic efficiencies in crystal spheres is studied. KH2PO4 is used as a reference for measurements in spheres and with the Maker-fringes technique. As an example, unknown d coefficients in an orthorhombic mannitol, C6H14O6, in which large coefficients of optical rotation have recently been measured, are determined as d123 = 0.06(2) pm V −1 and comp...
