Hibernating mammals exhibit unique metabolic and physiological phenotypes that have potential applications in medicine or spaceflight, yet our understanding of the genetic basis and molecular mechanisms of hibernation is limited.The meadow jumping mouse, a small North American hibernator, exhibits traits-including a short generation time-that would
Natural disasters occur worldwide, affecting thousands of lives annually.The primary response is to relocate those affected to safe locations with access to basic necessities.However, often diesel generator sets are employed for electricity provision, posing harm to the environment and generating noise pollution.To address these concerns, a compact
Abstract Scaled-down-reinforced concrete beams with rectangular staggered continuous spiral stirrups are experimentally investigated.Scale-down RC beams were considered in the current research due to ease of construction and economic feasibility.As the brittle shear failure should be avoided, continuous research trials have been conducted to find a
Abstract Background StochPV is a computer programme enabling the risks and uncertainties inherent in even-aged timber growing to be recognised through stochastic analysis.Most financial analyses of even-aged plantation or forest stands have used deterministic analyses, such that a single set of volumes, costs and prices yields a single answer for t
A comprehensive list of the taxons dedicated to Grigore Antipa by collaborators, science personalities who appreciated his work was constituted from surveying the natural history or science museums or university collections from several countries (Romania, Germany, Australia, Israel and United States).The list consists of 33 taxons, with current no
