Bald cypress has been retreating in the estuary ecosystem of the Loxahatchee River Watershed in southeastern Florida because of the negative impacts of anthropogenic activities. Seed germination of bald cypress is an important means to increase the arbor population in the vegetation community and accelerate restoration of the wetland ecosystem. The objective of this research was to find an effe...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Pollens from the Cupressaceae family are considered important allergens in the Mediterranean area, though reports of the prevalence of allergic symptoms have ranged from 1.04% to 35.4%. Our aim was to detect the prevalence of cypress pollen sensitization and determine its clinical importance in patients with seasonal respiratory allergy. METHODS We used skin prick tes...

Agents situated in dynamic and unpredictable environments require several capabilities, including synthesizing and executing plans while continuing to be responsive to the world. The Cypress system is a domain-independent framework for defining persistent agents with this full range of behavior. Cypress has been used for several applications, including military operations and fault diagnosis on...

Cypress Semiconductor makes a variety of PLL-based clock generators. This application note provides a set of recommendations to optimize usage of Cypress clock devices in a system. The application note begins with recommended termination techniques for clock generators. Subsequently, power supply filtering and bypassing is discussed. Finally, the application note provides some recommendations o...

Background and objective: Phytoncides are volatile antibacterial organic compounds emitted by plants. In humans, these known to confer anti-bacterial, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, immune-response-enhancing, stress-reducing benefits. However, it remains largely unknown if phytoncides have parallel effects on dogs. Therefore, the aim of this study is determine exhibit activity, initiate an i...

This note aims at presenting the most general framework for a class U of random upper semicontinuous functions, namely random elements whose sample paths are upper semicontinuous (u.s.c.) functions, defined on some locally compact, Hausdorff and second countable base space, extending Matheron’s framework for random closed sets. It is shown that while the natural embedding process does not provi...
