Abstract River alterations for natural hazard mitigation and land reclamation result in habitat decline and fragmentation for riparian plant species.Extreme events such as floods are responsible for additional local species loss or population decline.Tributaries might provide refugia and subsequent source populations for the colonization of downstr
This study investigates how two non-finite forms, infinitives and conversion nouns, are represented in the mind of L1 and L2 speakers and what is their relationship to other members of the corresponding word family.German native speakers and proficient German learners with Czech as L1 participated in four overt priming experiments involving a gramm
Objective: Ordering transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for inappropriate indications could prolong patient waiting time, increase echocardiography laboratory workload, and compromise the quality of TTE studies.This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of and factors associated with inappropriate indications for TTE in adult outpatients at Si
Introduction.The anterior and middle superior alveolar (AMSA) nerve block is an alternative technique of local anesthesia in the maxilla, unpredictably efficient for pulpal anesthesia.The aim of this study was to determine the anesthetic efficacy of the AMSA injection for pulpal anesthesia, using computer-controlled injection system or conventional
The minimization of the trade-off between the flux and the selectivity of membranes is a key area that researchers are continually working to optimise, particularly in the area of fabrication of novel membranes.Flux versus selectivity issues apply in many industrial applications of membranes, for example the unwanted diffusion of methanol in fuel c
