Abstract Examining research patterns across scientific fields constitutes a growing enterprise to understand how global knowledge production unfolds. However, scattered empirical evidence has casted light on the publication diversity of most productive scholars differ disciplines, considering their gender and geographical representation. This study focuses prolific three (Communication, Politic...

This study investigates the predictive value of child-related and environmental characteristics for early lexical development. The German productive vocabulary of 51 2-year-olds (27 girls), assessed via parental report, was analyzed taking children's gender, the type of early care they experienced, and their mono- versus bilingual language composition into consideration.

Abstract Context Microclimate (fine-scale temperature variability within metres of Earth’s surface) is highly influential on terrestrial organisms’ ability to survive and function. Understanding how such local climatic conditions vary challenging measure at adequate spatio-temporal resolution. models provide the means address this limitation, but require as inputs, measurements, or estimations ...

The objective of this research was determining the effect of the A192G polymorphism in some productive and reproductive traits in Antioquia Holstein cows. To achieve this, the technique PCR-RFLP was used to amplify a segment of 249 bp of the bovine inhibin alpha gene (INHA) which was digested with the restriction enzyme MspI. The effect of the INHA genotypes on the productive and reproductive t...
