Little is known about influence African on plant naming. We hypothesized that names more influenced by Central than found so far based research, mainly because data region was scarce. compiled a database compared thes...

Figure 1 Frozen activation map of atrioventricular node reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT), with yellow representing earlier activation “colliding” with late (purple) activation along the slow pathway region (using CS 5–6 as reference). The map shows the portion of activation illustrated (rainbow segment) out of the entire mapped cycle length (maroon circle). There is a slow-pathway potential noted ...

This study is undertaken to compare some different flood routing models including wave models and numerical models in the real field. The results of the wave models included kinematic, diffusive and dynamic wave have already been compared using laboratory data. Lack of the data field and technical support has been causes of not be investigated in the real field. In this present paper, several n...
