CHANGES IN SPECIES COMPOSITION IN ALPINE SNOWBEDS WITH CLIMATE CHANGE INFERRED FROM SMALL-SCALE SPATIAL PATTERNS

Changes in species composition in alpine snowbeds with climate change inferred from small-scale spatial patterns

Alpine snowbeds are characterised by a very short growing season.However, the length of the snow-free period is increasingly prolonged due to climate change, so that snowbeds become susceptible to invasions from neighbouring alpine meadow communities.We hypothesised that spatial distribution of species generated by plant interactions may indicate w

CARBON SIZE AND TEMPERATURE EFFECTS TO JIS S45C CARBURIZED STEEL

Wear on a metal can be naturally found in components that operate in a friction environment, such as in a transmission system.However, it can be a substantial problem when the wear rate is not within the permitted limit.Surface hardening is a popular way to improve surface wear resistance for metals with various parameters that can be controlled du

Gender differences in functional connectivities between insular subdivisions and selective pain-related brain structures

Abstract Background The incidence of pain disorders in Footwear women is higher than in men, making gender differences in pain a research focus.The human insular cortex is an important brain hub structure for pain processing and is divided into several subdivisions, serving different functions in pain perception.Here we aimed to examine the gender
