Sclerochronology and geochemical variation in limpet shells (Patella vulgata): A new archive to reconstruct coastal sea surface temperature
2007
[1] Climate archives contained in shells of the European limpet, Patella vulgata, accumulated in archaeological deposits can potentially provide much needed information about Holocene environmental change in midlatitude coastal areas. Before reconstructing climate information preserved in these zooarchaeological records, we studied the controls on oxygen and carbon isotope ratios (δ18O and δ13C, respectively) in modern specimens. We tested the hypothesis that P. vulgata precipitates its shell in isotopic equilibrium with the ambient water by comparing δ18OSHELL with predicted values. Predicted δ18OSHELL was constructed using observed sea surface temperature (SST) records and the equilibrium…
Food availability and the male's role in parental care in double-brooded TreecreepersCerthia familiaris
1996
The aim of this work was to examine differences in paternal and maternal care in a double-brooded, monogamous species, the Treecreeper Certhia familiaris, in relation to food availability. As a measure of parental care, we recorded the hourly feeding activity of parents when the nestlings from their first and second breeding attempts were 7 and 12 days old. Feeding frequency of the first brood increased with the age of the nestlings and also with the brood size when 12 days old. While the feeding activities of the females were similar with respect to the first and second broods, the males were less active and failed to provide any food to their nestlings in 15 cases out of 28 second broods.…
GENETIC AND PHYSIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF THE EFFECT OF LIGHT ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MOSS, PHYSCOMITRELLA PATENS
1978
Abstract The germination of Physcomitrella patens spores only occurs when wet spores are exposed to light. Depending on their ripeness, spores require from 44 to 64 h illumination to bring about maximum germination. There is a lag period of about 15 h between the reception of sufficient light to elicit germination before germination can be observed. Wavelengths in the range 640-680 nm are much more effective in inducing germination than longer or shorter wavelengths, but far-red reversal of red light induction of germination has not been demonstrated. Light also has very marked effects on protonemal and gametophore development. In darkness, only caulonemata are produced, and these grow nega…
Agonistic and sociable behaviors in the mound-building mice,Mus spicilegus: A comparative study withMus musculus domesticus
2001
Present social organization and mating systems result from selective pressures and ecological conditions but also from proximate interactions between individuals. Many studies report on a polygynous mating system with a social group territoriality in commensal populations of Mus musculus domesticus. However, little is known about the social organization of other Mus species living in outdoor conditions, such as the mound-building mouse Mus spicilegus. Comparative studies between M. m. domesticus and M. spicilegus have already shown behavioral differences in female sexual preferences and paternal care. To study agonistic and sociable interactions and gain insight into the social organization…
Contributo per una visione contemporanea dell’azienda agricola: tra sostenibilità e sfide del mondo digitale
2023
Le sfide che l’umanità sta affrontando e da cui dipende la sopravvivenza del pianeta, il diffondersi nell’ambito dell’attività agricola di tecnologie digitali sempre più avanzate e la necessità di adottare un approccio sostenibile che preservi le risorse a tutela delle generazioni future hanno condotto l’azienda agricola a cambiare gradualmente volto. Questo libro mira a contribuire a un’aggiornata riflessione sul ruolo dell’imprenditore agricolo e dell’azienda da lui condotta, osservandone l’organizzazione e composizione alla luce delle regole che oggi la disciplinano e guardando alle innovazioni necessarie a garantire il raggiungimento dei pressanti obiettivi climatici e ambientali verso …
Factors related to excessive patellofemoral loading in rearfoot running
2015
Running is recognized as one of the most popular exercise methods. Furthermore, running related injuries have been under the scope for the last few decades. Synchronous function between the segments of the lower limbs is necessary for efficient locomotion. Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common exercise related syndrome and multifactorial in nature. The purpose of this study was to measure contact forces and frontal plane moments to detect the factors that are associated with atypically high patellofemoral joint loading in rearfoot striking (RFS) running pattern, and moreover, which could possibly contribute to development of the patellofemoral pain syndrome. 39 team sport female athletes…
Meža silpurenes Pulsatilla patens (L.) Mill. demogrāfiskos parametrus ietekmējošie faktori
2021
Lai noskaidrotu nozīmīgākos Eiropā retās meža silpurenes Pulsatilla patens augšanu un vairošanos ietekmējošos faktorus, 2020. gada pavasarī un vasarā četrās teritorijās tika apsekoti 43 parauglaukumi. Tika noteikti sugu projektīvie segumi, nobiru un atmirušo augu segumi un atklātās augsnes laukums, kā arī veģetācijas atjaunošanās parauglaukumos, kuros 2019. gada pavasarī bija noņemta zemsedze. Tika analizēta iegūto datu saistība ar Pulsatilla patens demogrāfiskajiem un augsnes ķīmiskajiem un morfoloģiskajiem parametriem. Pulsatilla patens demogrāfiskie parametri (ziedošo augu un ziedu skaits, augu projektīvie segumi un skaits) negatīvi korelē ar lielu noēnojumu koku stāvā un blīvu sūnu segu…
Different regulatory models of transfer of industrial property rights in the Baltic States: A plea for harmonized approach
2016
AbstractThe authors explore different models of transfer of industrial property on a comparative basis. The article demonstrates that these models differ on a country level and several models may be in use in one legal system. The authors analyze strengths and weaknesses and legal implications of these models in the three Baltic States both at the regulatory level and at the practical level through case studies. The authors conclude that would be preferable to use the model under which the register is vested with negative publicity and the transfer of ownership of industrial property is not made dependent on its recordation.
Competitiveness Gap of the European Union Member Countries in the Context of Europe 2020 Strategy
2015
Abstract This paper is addressing issues of the competitiveness gap of the European Union member countries in the context of Europe 2020 strategy's smart growth. Authors are examining current competitiveness situation when economic performance of some countries are significantly better than others and how does it fit in the competitiveness framework set by Europe 2020 strategy. To have a closer look at the smart growth of European Union member countries authors examine R&D expenditures and their impact on patents and high-technology share in exports as one of the indicators of the competitiveness.
Patient participation in the medical decision-making process in haemato-oncology - a qualitative study
2013
Cancer patients are showing increased interest in shared decision-making. Patients with haematological illnesses, however, express considerably less desire for shared decision-making as compared with other oncological patient groups. The goal of the current project was to identify the reasons for the lower desire for shared decision-making among patients with haematological illness. We conducted qualitative, semi-structured interviews with 11 haematological patients (39-70 years old) after the beginning of therapy concerning the course and evaluation of medical shared decision-making. The patients were often overwhelmed by the complexity of the illness and the therapy and did not want to as…
