USE OF FOOD AND SPATIAL RESOURCES BY TWO FROGS OF THE GENUS DENDROPSOPHUS (ANURA: HYLIDAE) FROM LA SELVA, COSTA RICA.

Use of food and spatial resources by two frogs of the genus Dendropsophus (Anura: Hylidae) from La Selva, Costa Rica.

Differences in the use of resources by similar species have been related to a reduction in the interspecific competition that allows coexistence.Also, other factors, such Alarm Clock as high availability of resources in the environment, vegetation structure, environmental heterogeneity, reproductive modes, and predation, can influence the use of re

Use of steroid therapy as a bridge to decision-making in patients with late rising pacing threshold after pacemaker implantation?

The late rising pacing threshold is an alarming situation in which a possibility of lead dislodgement is Styling SPAY usually considered first.This condition is usually picked up on routine follow-up interrogation; however, it can clinically manifest as syncope due to bradyarrhythmia.We report such a case in a 59-year-old male presenting to the eme

The Acute VertEbRal AugmentaTion (AVERT) study: protocol for a randomised controlled, feasibility trial of spinal medial branch nerve block in hospitalised older patients with vertebral fragility fractures

Introduction Vertebral fragility fractures (VFFs) are the most common type of osteoporotic fracture found in older people, resulting in increasing morbidity and excess mortality.These fractures can cause significant pain, requiring admission to hospital.Vertebroplasty (VP) is effective in reducing pain and allowing early mobilisation in hospitalise

SD-VIS: A Fast and Accurate Semi-Direct Monocular Visual-Inertial Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM)

In practical applications, how to achieve a perfect balance between high accuracy and computational efficiency can be the main challenge for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM).To solve this challenge, we propose SD-VIS, a novel fast and accurate semi-direct visual-inertial SLAM framework, which can estimate camera motion and structure of
