Abstract Several studies emphasize the use of owl pellets in small mammal inventories in natural areas harboring high richness of rare species, but few Brazilian Bathroom Hooks Atlantic forest localities have been surveyed by this method.The present study documents the species composition and abundance of small mammals in the diet of Tyto furcata i
Estimation of Physical Activity Levels Using Cell Phone Questionnaires: A Comparison With Accelerometry for Evaluation of Between-Subject and Within-Subject Variations
BackgroundPhysical activity promotes health and longevity.Further elaboration of the role of physical activity for human health in epidemiological studies on large samples requires accurate methods that are easy to use, cheap, and possible to repeat.The use of telecommunication technologies such as cell phones is highly interesting in this respect.
Perfect and Quasi-Perfect Codes for the Bosonic Classical-Quantum Channel
In this article, we explore perfect and quasi-perfect codes for the Bosonic channel, where information is generated by a laser and conveyed in the form of coherent states.In particular, we consider the phase-modulation codebook for coherent states in a Bosonic channel.We show that these phase-modulation codes are quasi-perfect as long as Musical In
Dietary energy source affecting fat deposition mechanism, muscle fiber metabolic and overall meat quality
A study was conducted to investigate the effect of two dietary energy sources, soy bean oil, and sucrose on regulatory mechanisms of meat preservation.Twenty one day-old Hubbard commercial broilers were randomly allocated into two dietary treatment groups with six replicates per treatment, and four Pipe Miscellaneous broilers per replicate.All bird
Influence of the Sulfur Content Catalyst on the Packing Density of Carbon Nanotube Forests
For the fabrication of high-performance carbon nanotube (CNT) composites with practical applicability, the development of new methods for the controlled growth Tool of high-aspect-ratio CNTs still constitutes a challenge.With the aim of gaining a deeper understanding of the catalytic CNT growth, in this study, the effect of the catalyst composition
