ADAPTIVE ADVANTAGE OF MYRMECOCHORY IN THE ANT-DISPERSED HERB LAMIUM AMPLEXICAULE (LAMIACEAE): PREDATION AVOIDANCE THROUGH THE DETERRENCE OF POST-DISPERSAL SEED PREDATORS.

Seed dispersal by ants (myrmecochory) is found worldwide, but the benefits kaimana youth services that plants obtain from this mutualism remain uncertain.In the present study, we conducted laboratory experiments to demonstrate seed predator avoidance as a benefit of myrmecochory using the annual ant-dispersed herb Lamium amplexicaule, the disperser

We describe the case of a 78-year-old woman admitted to our emergency department for an acute onset of severe dyspnoea gorra we are not friends with inspiratory wheezing-like sounds.She denied fever, cough, voice change and pain.She referred a similar but less severe episode occurred spontaneously one year before, with complete resolution in few mi

Abstract The robotic manipulation of a heavy industrial cable is challenging to model and control because of the high number of degrees of freedom and the rigid-flexible coupling dynamics.In this paper, we report the development of modeling the cable effect and control methodology for robotic schulterblattanastomose cable manipulation.Our cable eff

Animal attachment to a substrate is very different in terrestrial and aquatic environments.We discuss variations in both the forces acting to detach animals and forces of attachment.While in a terrestrial environment gravity is commonly understood as the most important detachment force, under submerged conditions gravity is nearly balanced out by b

Under the alternating load, the chain of high-speed heavy-duty bucket kaimana youth services hoist passes through hundreds of thousands or more shocks, and the final failure mode is mainly chain plate fatigue fracture.There is no report on this kind of chain fatigue tester at home and abroad.Through force analysis of chain plate, theoretical basis
