Evolutionary loss of traits is common over evolutionary time and occurs in diverse taxa.Sexual signals and other non-signal traits should differ in their likelihood of becoming lost because they experience different selection pressures contributing to their diminution or persistence.In particular, conspicuous sexual signals are often exploited by n

Airborne LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) remote sensing for individual tree-level forest inventory necessitates proper extraction of individual trees and accurate measurement of tree structural parameters.Due to the inadequate tree finding capability offered by LiDAR technology and the complex patterns of forest canopies, significant omission a

The correct representation of convection in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models is essential for quantitative precipitation forecasts.Due to its small horizontal scale convection usually has to be parameterized, e.g.by mass flux convection schemes.Classical schemes originally developed for use in coarse grid NWP models assume zero net convect

The rapid expansion of biomedical literature has provoked an increased development of advanced text mining tools to rapidly extract relevant events from the continuously increasing amount of knowledge published periodically in PubMed.However, bioinvestigators are still reluctant to use these tools for two reasons: i) a large volume of events is oft

The entropy produced when a quantum system is driven away from equilibrium can be decomposed in two parts, one related with Plein air - Femme - Chaussures - Bottes isolees populations and the other with quantum coherences.The latter is usually based on the so-called relative entropy of coherence, a widely used quantifier in quantum resource theorie
