Biodiversity hotspots harbor 77% of endemic plant species. Patagonian Temperate Forest (PTF) is a part biodiversity hotspot, but over the past centuries, has been over-exploited, fragmented and replaced with exotic species plantations, lately also threatened by climate change. Our aim to better understand patterns habitat suitability niche overlap nine gymnosperm species, key elements PTF, comp...

pressure or volume overload in patients with valvular heart disease.' Abnormalities in the terminal portion of the P wave in lead V, were also reported in separate studies in patients with pulmonary edema2 and in patients with acute myocardial infarction presenting with clinical and radiographic evidence of congestive heart failure.3 4 These electrocardiographic abnormalities tended to regress ...

In many system identi cation applications, only output measurements are available for constructing empirical models. In these cases, sensor-to-sensor identi cation (S2SID) can be used. In the SISO case, one measurement is designated as the pseudo-input, while another measurement is designated as the pseudo-output. Identi cation between the pseudoinput and pseudo-output results in the constructi...

We present a database of the absolute magnitudes asteroids named Kharkiv Asteroid Absolute Magnitude Database (KhAAMD). The includes homogeneous set for about 400 in new HG 1 G 2 magnitude system. performed comparative analysis asteroid between and other main databases (MPC, Pan-STARRS, ATLAS, PTF, Gaia ). show that Pan-STARRS dataset has no systematic deviations is most suitable determination ...

abstract saturated hydraulic conductivity (ks) is one of the most important physical properties of soils which is expensive and time-consuming to directly measure. hence, indirect methods, such as pedotransfer functions (ptfs), were developed to predict the ks. previous studies showed that most of the ptfs common in the literature can not suitably predict the ks. hence, this study was conducted...

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar empíricamente la evolución productividad total los factores (PTF) en industria manufacturera colombiana 2005 a 2016, través estimación del Índice Malmquist (IM), con un panel veintinueve subsectores productivos. Los resultados muestran una caída promedio PTF manufactura 1.1%, derivado retroceso el componente tecnológico. Se recomienda hacedores política p...

The electronic structures and spectroscopic constants of the first three low-lying electronic states (Omega = 1/2, 3/2, and 5/2) of the linear HePtF complex were investigated by highly accurate relativistic ab initio methods, in which the spin-orbit coupling was taken into account, and compared with the results of PtF. It shows that the complex is significantly different from the typical van de...

Pediatric trigger finger (PTF) is a rare hand disorder caused by various anatomic abnormalities and systemic illnesses. We report case of PTF in 16-month-old boy, revealing flexion deformity his right middle finger. noted an abnormally proximal location Camper’s chiasm bulging the flexor digitorum profundus intraoperatively. released A1 pulley completely resected ulnar slip superficialis (FDS)....

BACKGROUND African Americans suffer disproportionately from tobacco-related illness and have more difficulty quitting smoking than other racial/ethnic groups. Previous research indicates that African American treatment-seekers are high utilizers of tobacco quitlines, yet cessation rates via quitlines are lower relative to whites. The goal of the present study is to test the effectiveness of add...
