We present the results of a series of experiments at the Kumamoto Sanctuary in Japan, in which captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) performed several nut cracking sessions using raw materials from Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania.We examined captive chimpanzee pounding tools using a combination of technological analysis, use-wear distribution, and micro-we

Species delimitation of corals is one of the most challenging issues in coral reef ecology and conservation.Morphology can obscure evolutionary Baseball relationships, and molecular datasets are consistently revealing greater within-species diversity than currently understood.Most phylogenetic studies, however, have examined narrow geographic areas

The aim of this study was to investigate properties of ceramic phosphors fabricated using Zodiac Barracuda 1500 Parts nano Lu3Al5O12:Ce3+ phosphors produced with a sol-gel-combustion method.These nano Lu3Al5O12:Ce3+ phosphors had a size of about 200 nm, leading to high density when fabricated as a ceramic phosphor.We manufactured ceramic phosphors

ABSTRACT Water stress during wheat seed germination and seedling establishment for affect the percentage and speed of germination.Silicon (Si) is related to plant tolerance to different types of stress, then the application of this nutrient in the mother plant during seed production could contribute to the improvement of the seed quality and, conse

In the present paper, a General Algorithm is applied to the analysis of high-rise structures.This algorithm is to be used as a calculation tool in preliminary design; it allows to define the interaction between CATS CLAW closed and open, straight or curved shear-walls, and the forces exchanged in structures subject to mainly horizontal loads.The an
