SCATTER HOARDING OF SEEDS CONFERS SURVIVAL ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES TO LARGE-SEEDED TROPICAL PLANTS AT DIFFERENT LIFE STAGES.

Scatter hoarding of seeds confers survival advantages and disadvantages to large-seeded tropical plants at different life stages.

Scatter hoarding of seeds by animals contributes significantly to forest-level processes, Header Modeling Set including plant recruitment and forest community composition.However, the potential positive and negative effects of caching on seed survival, germination success, and seedling survival have rarely been assessed through experimental studies

Effects of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation on upper limb motor function after stroke: study protocol for the pilot of a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technique that can noninvasively modulate neural states in a targeted brain region.As cerebellar activity levels are associated with upper limb motor improvement after stroke, the cerebellum is a plausible target of tDCS.However, the effect of tDCS remains unclear.Here, we desi

Explosivity Properties of Dusts from Torrefied Biomass Pellets

A modified Hartmann tube apparatus was used to study the explosivity properties of dusts from torrefied biomass pellets.The sensitivity of the dusts to explode was assessed by determining the minimum Kid’s Pajamas ignition energies (MIE) and the minimum explosible concentrations (MEC).The severity of the explosion was evaluated by flame front vel
