We compared seedling emergence and soil seed bank composition under an Acacia mangium plantation and an adjacent tropical heath forest in the Andulau Forest Reserve, Brunei Darussalam.Soil samples were collected from ten 20 x 20 m plots set up in three contrasting habitats: the Acacia plantation, the adjacent heath forest, and the transition zone i
This paper introduces a modeling approach for the assessment of policy options within the forest-based bioeconomy.The feedback between the forestry dynamics model and the economic model of the global forest-based sector of the proposed framework is essential, not Bangle only for response analysis as to the development of forest resources and for a
BackgroundClimate change potentially has important effects on distribution, abundance, transmission and virulence of parasites in wild populations of animals.Methodology/principal findingHere we analyzed paired information on 89 parasite populations for 24 species of bird hosts some years ago and again in 2010 with an average interval of 10 years.T
316L stainless steel (SS) is widely applied as microimplant anchorage Bar Fridges (MIA) due to its excellent mechanical properties.However, the risk that the oral microorganisms can corrode 316L SS is fully neglected.Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of 316L SS is essential to the health and safety of all patients because the accelerated
Caveolae-related genes, including CAVs that encodes caveolins and CAVINs that encodes caveolae-associated proteins cavins, have been identified for playing significant roles in a variety of biological processes including cholesterol transport and signal transduction, but evidences related to tumorigenesis and cancer progression are not abundant to
