Wildlife in recreational hunting exists within a complex intersection of economic, ethical, and ecological concerns. Hunting offers personal fulfillment and supports conservation, while also driving a broader market of hunting-related goods and services. Yet, wildlife is often treated as unowned (res nullius) until harvested, leaving its value largely unregulated before capture or death. Yet we sh
In this paper, an algorithm for projective reconstruction of general 3D-curves from a number of its 2D-images taken by uncalibrated cameras is proposed. No point correspondences between the images are assumed. The curve and the view points are uniquely reconstructed, modulo projective transformations. The algorithm is divided into two separate algorithms, where the output of the first is used as i
A new predictive formula for the total longshore sediment transport (LST) rate was developed from principles of sediment transport physics assuming that breaking waves mobilize the sediment, which is subsequently moved by a mean current. Six high-quality data sets on hydrodynamics and sediment transport collected during both field and laboratory conditions were employed to evaluate the predictive
Software is an increasing and important part of many products and systems. Software, hardware, and system level components have been developed and produced following separate processes. However, in order to improve the quality of the final complex product, requirements and prospects for an automatic integrated process support are called for. Product data management (PDM) has focused on hardware pr
Coreceptor use was determined for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) isolates of various subtypes from 11 women during pregnancy and their infected children. Isolates from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (n = 79) and from plasma (n = 59) were available. The clinical and immunological stages of HIV-1 infection were recorded. Coreceptor use was tested on human cell lines expressing CD4 a
Allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) is frequently applied as part of the treatment in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) in their first or subsequent remission. Allogeneic HSCT reduces relapse, but nonrelapse mortality and morbidity might counterbalance this beneficial effect. Here, we review recent studies reporting new disease-specific prognostic markers, in addit
We show conditional lower bounds for well-studied #P-hard problems: -The number of satisfying assignments of a 2-CNF formula with n variables cannot be computed in time exp(o(n)), and the same is true for computing the number of all independent sets in an n-vertex graph. -The permanent of an n x n matrix with entries 0 and 1 cannot be computed in time exp(o(n)). -The Tutte polynomial of an n-verte
Results are presented from data recorded in 2009 by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider for the double-longitudinal spin asymmetry, A(LL), for pi(0) and eta production in root s = 200 GeV polarized p + p collisions. Comparison of the pi(0) results with different theory expectations based on fits of other published data showed a preference for small positive values of gluon
The pathogenetic mechanisms causing esophageal dysmotility is not well understood. We examined 13 patients with solid bolus dysphagia in a radiologic barium study including the swallowing of a 14-mm tablet. In all 13 patients the tablet was caught in the proximal or midesophagus. In 8 patients, the entrapment was associated with symptoms (Group 1) whereas in 5 patients (Group 2), no symptoms were
Like many animals migrating through the oceans, sea turtles face difficult navigational tasks when they have to reach distant, specific sites. The paradigmatic case of Brazilian green turtles (Chelonia mydas), which nest on the tiny Ascension Island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, has often been the subject of hypotheses concerning their navigational mechanisms. To investigate their nature, w
The molar mass and theological properties of an exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Pediococcus damnosus 2.6 were investigated. The molar mass was determined by asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation coupled with multiangle light scattering and refractive index detection. The EPS was observed to be a flexible chain polymer with a molar mass value of 4 x 10(6) g mol(-1). Heating the sample at 80 degre
In the 1990s, two randomised clinical trials started in Scandinavia addressing whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is safe for women with previous breast cancer. We report the findings of the safety analysis in HABITS (hormonal replacement therapy after breast cancer-is it safe?), an open randomised clinical trial with allocation to either HRT or best treatment without hormones. The main end

Purpose To assess the clinical effects and safety profile of initial monotherapy with either bisoprolol or enalapril in elderly patients with heart failure (HF). Methods In CIBIS III, 1010 patients with mild to moderate HF and age >= 65 years were randomized to monotherapy with either bisoprolol or enalapril for 6 months. Results Bisoprolol had a similar effect as enalapril on the combined end-poi
The coadsorption of water and preadsorbed oxygen on Ru{0001) was studied by synchrotron-based high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A dramatic change was observed in the interaction of water with oxygen between low and high oxygen precoverages. Low oxygen coverages below 0.18 ML induce partial dissociation, which leads to an adsorbed layer of H2O and OH. Around half the oxygen atoms ta
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have become a fundamental part of business infrastructure. However, the high failure rate of ERP implementations points out that there are still many issues that need to be addressed. In an effort to minimize the risk associated to the ERP implementation process, a number of critical success factors (CSFs) have been introduced. However, CSFs are presented
