This work presents the first results of a phonetic experiment on North Sámi quantity and its areal and dialectal variation. The North Sámi language belongs to the Western group of the Sámi languages, which are a part of the Finno-Ugric language family. There are approximately 25 000 North Sámi speakers altogether [1], and the traditional speaking areas are in the northern parts of three states,...

background:  fascioliasis is considered as the most important helminthic infection of cattle and sheep. traditional approaches using morphological and biologic characters cannot cause a cer­tainty in the accurate and precise identification and intra-specific differences of fasciola spp. in this study, we identified fasciola species using its-1 marker and described genetic variation of each spec...

Abstract In this study, tropical cyclones (TCs) over the western North Pacific (WNP) and Atlantic (NA) basins are analyzed in seasonal forecasting models from five European modeling centers. Most able to capture observed cycle of TC frequencies both basins; however, large differences for numbers spatial track densities found. agreement with previous studies, often underestimated, which is likel...

Is the transport of heat northward by the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Drift, and its subsequent release into the midlatitude westerlies, the reason why Europe’s winters are so much milder than those of eastern North America and other places at the same latitude? Here, it is shown that the principal cause of this temperature difference is advection by the mean winds. South-westerlies bring wa...

The deviation-angle variance technique (DAV-T), whichwas introduced in theNorthAtlantic basin for tropical cyclone (TC) intensity estimation, is adapted for use in the North Pacific Ocean using the ‘‘best-track center’’ application of the DAV. The adaptations include changes in preprocessing for different data sources [Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-East (GOES-E) in the Atlan...

The phylogeny of Cercis (Fabaceae) was estimated with DNA sequences of the nuclear ribosomal ITS region and the 39 end of the chloroplast gene ndhF. The combined analysis recovers three trees in which a well supported clade of North American and western Eurasian species is nested within a paraphyletic group of Chinese species. In the single most unambiguously resolved topology from these trees,...
