A new specimen of the Early Cretaceous bird Hongshanornis longicresta: insights into the aerodynamics and diet of a basal ornithuromorph

The discovery of Hongshanornis longicresta, a small ornithuromorph bird with unusually long hindlimb proportions, was followed by the discovery of two closely related species, Longicrusavis houi and Parahongshanornis chaoyangensis.Together forming the Hongshanornithidae, these species reveal important information about the Padded Bras early diversi

Butterfly Density and Behaviour in Uncut Hay Meadow Strips: Behavioural Ecological Consequences of an Agri-Environmental Scheme.

Sparing zones from mowing has been proposed, and applied, to improve local conditions for survival and reproduction of insects in hay meadows.However, little is known about the efficiency of refuge zones and the consequences for local populations.We studied population densities of butterflies before and after mowing Coloring Books in the refuge zon

Optimization of Embedded Retaining Walls Under the Effects of Groundwater Seepage Using a Reliability-Based and Partial Factor Design Approach

In this paper, a comparative analysis of the effects of groundwater, seepage and hydraulic heave on the optimal design of embedded retaining walls is carried out.The optimization model for an optimal retaining wall (ORW) minimizes the total length of the retaining wall considering design constraints.The model is extended to include the probability
