To navigate during their long-distance migration, monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) use a time-compensated sun compass. The sun compass timing elements reside in light-entrained circadian clocks in the antennae. Here we show that either antenna is sufficient for proper time compensation. However, migrants with either antenna painted black (to block light entrainment) and the other painted ...

introduction e-learning is there to enhance knowledge of patients and  can provide an efficient way to enhance personnel-patient interaction and provide patient-specific education. so the aim of this study was to compare the effect of two educational methods, e-learning (multimedia) and painted booklet on primipar women’s knowledge about neonatal care.methods this was a quasi-experimental study...

The influence of the painting process on a biocompostable waste is studied. Disintegration degree (D %) of a 100% biocompostable plastic made from potato almidon is calculated for both painted and non -painted samples. Solid matrix is also characterized by means of a laboratory scaled composting process following UNE-EN norms [2, 3]. It can be concluded that painting has a negative influence on...

Hydrodynamic stability is the ability to resist recoil motions of the body produced by destabilizing forces. Previous studies have suggested that recoil motions can decrease locomotor performance, efficiency and sensory perception and that swimming animals might utilize kinematic strategies or possess morphological adaptations that reduce recoil motions and produce more stable trajectories. We ...

Heat shock proteins (HSPs) may play a cardioprotective role during hypoxia or ischemia. We hypothesized that cardiac tissue from hypoxia-tolerant animals might have high levels of specific HSPs. We measured myocardial HSP60 and HSP72/73 in painted and softshell turtles during normoxia and anoxia (12 h) and after recovery (12 or 24 h). We also measured myocardial HSPs in normoxic rats and rabbit...

the decorative patterns of islamic pottery have widespread diversity including floral, geometric, inscriptional, animals and human patterns. beside these patterns, there is a group of composed animals including harpies, sphinxes, griffins etc that despite of their few presences, are among the most beautiful and most numinous patterns in islamic pottery. this paper intend to survey different asp...

This paper describes an ongoing project to digitally record, reconstruct and repaint a 2000-year-old painted Roman statue from Herculaneum, Italy. The paper considers the archaeological potential for extremely detailed laser scanning and digital recreation of Roman statuary, and visualisation within a physically accurate context. It focuses on the archaeological significance of the emerging tec...

Photographers often wish to control the depth of field. In particular, for portrait photography, a shallow depth of field can have dramatic effects on the composition and the feel of the picture. For example, a shallow depth of field can help direct attention to the subject by blurring out objects too close or too far from the camera, such as distracting objects or faces. Also, focusing on an o...
