Ameisen: Die heimliche Weltmacht (Ants: Nature's Secret Power) is a nature documentary about ants. Wolfgang Thaler wrote, filmed, and directed the film, which focuses on the work of ant researcher Bert Hölldobler. The 2004 film was produced by Adi Mayer Film for Österreichischer Rundfunk (Austrian Broadcasting), a public service broadcaster headquartered in Vienna, Austria. Ants: Nature's Secre...

Under unbalanced supply condition low order harmonics will appear at the input and output terminals of the PWM AC to DC converter. Based on the positive and negative sequence components, an unbalanced transfer matrix in terms of the input phase voltages is derived. An on-line method using a neural network (NN) is used to implement this transfer matrix. It is shown that by using an additional lo...

although many researches have investigated the benefits of music in sport, few researches have studied the effect of music on movement recall. thus, this study aimed to identify the effect of motivational music on information recall during the performance of a wrestling skill sequence. 24 male athletes (mean age 21.6±0.9 yr, height 176.4±6.1 cm and weight 67.5±8.4) were trained in 30 skills of ...

Morphological changes associated with rumino-reticular development was compared in two groups of SA Mutton Merino lambs (n = 12) fed different diets at 3-5 weeks, 17-19 weeks and 31-33 weeks of age. Diet groups were identified as MMH or MHH according to the sequence at which the full-milk replacement (M) or hay (H) diet were fed to the lambs over the three study phases (phases I, II and III) pr...

We consider the number of Bowen sets which are necessary to cover a large measure subset of the phase space. This introduce some complexity indicator characterizing different kind of (weakly) chaotic dynamics. Since in many systems its value is given by a sort of local entropy, this indicator is quite simple to be calculated. We give some example of calculation in nontrivial systems (interval e...
