Abstract Background Nesting in large aggregations Dumbbells provides several important advantages for colonially breeding birds.However, it also imposes certain costs, associated with facilitated pathogen transmission and social stress.The cost-benefit ratio is not similar for all the birds in a colony and it might be mediated by nest density.To in
Background: Loss of consciousness and respiratory failure are the most important medical problems in acute benzodiazepines (BZDs) toxicity.The possibility of respiratory apnea increases in intentional cases and also in the presence of underlying cardiopulmonary diseases.The inhibitory effect of aminophylline on adenosine receptor may be the cause o
Deep-sea and ice-core records show that interglacial periods were overall less "warm" before about 420 000 years ago than after, with relatively higher ice volume and lower greenhouse gases concentration.This is particularly the case for the interglacial Marine Isotope Stage 13 which occurred about 500 000 years ago.However, by contrast,
Abstract We explore signals of new physics with two Higgs bosons and large missing transverse energy at watergames the LHC.Such a signature is characteristic of models for dark matter or other secluded particles that couple to the standard model through an extended scalar sector.Our goal is to provide search strategies and an interpretation framewo
The term stress is an important but vague Decorating Ideas term in plant biology.We show situations in which thinking in terms of stress is profitably replaced by quantifying distance from functionally optimal scaling relationships between plant parts.These relationships include, for example, the often-cited one between leaf area and sapwood area,
