The choice of where to breed can have fundamental consequences for offspring development and survival.Among amphibians, desiccation is one of the biggest threats to offspring survival, especially in species that deposit their clutches in terrestrial habitats.In several species, hydration of the clutch is ensured by a caregiving parent, but in speci
Transient systolic murmurs in neonates and premature infants due to mild left (LPA) and right (RPA) pulmonary branch stenosis is recognized but follow up studies are lacking.A 3 piece horse wall art total of 32 neonates with murmur and 32 controls were evaluated echocardiographically at baseline and in four months follow up.Diameters of LPA and RPA
The possibility to harvest energy from ambient radio-frequency (RF) sources has intrigued humankind for the past several decades.In this context, there has been a tremendously growing research interest in the field of wireless power transfer (WPT) using the RF range of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum.In this paper, we experimentally investigate t
Plant water use efficiency (WUE) is becoming a key issue in semiarid areas, where crop production relies on the use of large volumes of water.Improving WUE is necessary for securing environmental sustainability of food production in these areas.Given that climate change predictions include increases in temperature and drought in semiarid regions, i
