The effects of the climate change including an increase in the average global temperatures, and abnormal weather events such as frequent and severe heatwaves are emerging as a worldwide ecological concern due to their impacts on plant vegetation and crop productivity.In this review, the molecular processes of plants in response to heat stress—fro
Navigating the Systemic Conditions of a Digital Health Ecosystem in Alberta, copyright: Embedded Case Study
BackgroundDigital health promises numerous value-creating outcomes.These include improved health, reduced costs, and the creation of lucrative markets, which, in turn, provide high-quality employment, productivity growth, and a climate that attracts investment.For this value creation and capture, the activities of a diverse set of stakeholders with
Dynamic Centripetal Parameterization Method for B-Spline Curve Interpolation
B-spline data interpolation and approximation require parameterization at the first step.For this purpose, many algorithms have been developed, such as the uniform, centripetal, chord length, Foley and universal methods.The uniform method works well if the input data points are distributed regularly.The chord popularfilm.blog length method produces
MIRAGAIA TAIL BIOMECHANICS AND DEFENCES. EVALUATION OF THE TAIL MOBILITY AND RESISTANCE TO LOADINGS AND COLLISIONS.
Thyreophora is a taxon of dinosaurs composed of Stegosauria and Ankylosauria, whose members have been known to utilise their tails as powerful defensive weapons.Remains of these dinosaurs are scarce; the Portuguese taxon, Miragaia longicollum, known from three individuals, provides precious pieces of information on the anatomy of these rare animals
Effect of large topography on atmospheric environment in Sichuan Basin: A climate analysis based on changes in atmospheric visibility
Using 51 years (1960–2010) of observations from meteorological stations in the Sichuan-Chongqing region, including atmospheric visibility as a proxy for aerosol concentration, relative humidity, air temperature, wind speed and FNL reanalysis data (1°×1°) of air temperature, pressure and wind, and the altitude of each station, a linear trend a
