Abstract Background For brown bears (Ursus arctos), hibernation is a critical part of the annual life cycle because energy savings during hibernation can be crucial for overwintering, and females give birth to cubs at that time.For hibernation to be a useful strategy, timing is critical.However, environmental conditions vary greatly, which might ha
High power LEDs replace traditional light sources in all possible lighting applications, causing significant problems in assessing the quality of lighting.This issue is not limited only to the construction aspects Skin of the measuring equipment, but also has a cognitive dimension.The article presents an overview of the current state of knowledge o
Abstract With the insertion of distributed generation in distribution networks, security analysis becomes crucial, in islanded operation or when the system is connected to the grid.Dynamic stability analyses are necessary in order to achieve minimum levels of security and reliability.Such analyses are obtained through the solution of the algebraic-
Corruption in public procurement transforms state institutions into private entities where public resources get diverted for the benefit of a few.On this matter, much of the discussion centers on the legal fulfillment of the procurement process, while there are fewer formal analyses related to the corporate features which are most likely to signal
Abstract A lack of stability in the expression of Bacillus thuringiensis genes (CRY) and the dialaninophosphate resistance gene (BAR) in transgenic rice plants can lead to the loss of important characters.The genetic stability of transgenic expression in high-generation lines is thus critically important for ensuring the success of molecular breedi
