The concept of sentience concerns the capacity to have feelings. There is evidence for sophisticated cognitive concepts and for both positive and negative feelings in a wide range of nonhuman animals. All vertebrates, including fish, as well as some molluscs and decapod crustaceans have pain systems. Most people today consider that their moral obligations extend to many animal species. Moral de...

BACKGROUND The research was carried out within the course of two years (2005-2006) in four countries from southern, southeast and eastern parts of Europe: Bulgaria, Italy, Macedonia and Romania. The data are collected mainly from Bulgaria and Italy and are compared with those from Macedonia and Romania. METHODS The information was gathered largely from literature as well as field collected da...

Semantic knowledge may be organized in terms of similarity relations based on shared features and/or complementary relations based on co-occurrence in events. Thus, relationships between manipulable objects such as tools may be defined by their functional properties (what the objects are used for) or thematic properties (e.g., what the objects are used with or on). A recent study from our labor...

In a Comment recently published in Molecules [1], Prof. C. Wiart took issue with our identification of the plant species used in our work as Paulownia coreana. Although this name was assigned by H. Uyeki in 1925 [2], appears as such in handbooks of Korean flora [3], and examples of its use can be found in the recent literature [4–9], after reviewing the arguments and references presented in [1]...

Abstract : In this paper an interesting and famous realistic electronic circuit problem is discussed using the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) is presented. To illustrate the effectiveness of the ADM an example from linear time-varying electrical circuit problem have been considered and compared with the Runge-Kutta Butcher algorithm (RKB)[5] and with exact solutions of the problems, and are...

Phytoplasmas are plant pathogenic bacteria that have no cell wall and are responsible for major crop losses throughout the world. Phytoplasma-infected plants show a variety of symptoms and the mechanisms they use to physiologically alter the host plants are of considerable interest, but poorly understood. In this study we undertook a detailed analysis of Paulownia infected by Paulownia witches'...
