At present, tropical arid biomes house less woody plant species diversity than tropical moist biomes, which could be due to lower rates of evolutionary read more diversification in the recent or distant past.Here, we study the evolutionary diversification of Petalidium (Acanthaceae), a genus of 36 species of woody shrubs found in the Namib Desert o

This work proposes a methodology to project future freight demand for all commodity types that begin and end in each geographical region and the amount of freight that moves between all read more origin and destination pairs.Following the traditional four-step demand forecasting framework, the procedure corresponds to trip generation and trip distr

Abstract Background Shoulder dislocations are common occurrences, yet there are few simulation devices to train medical personnel on how to reduce these dislocations.Reductions require a familiarity with the shoulder and a nuanced motion against strong muscle tension.The goal of this work is to describe the design of an easily replicated, low-cost
