In a study of fossil seeds recovered from the La Cantera Formation, Early Cretaceous, San Luis Basin, we establish a new species, Carpolithus volantus, and describe other specimens attributed to Carpolithus spp.and Ephedra canterata.The botanical affinity of winged seeds assigned to Carpolithus volantus is discussed in relation to the fossil flora
The current study examined differences in heart rate (HR) variability (HRV) across student-athlete eligibility classifications within a men’s soccer team.The study also aimed to identify any differences in HRV while competing at home or away.Data collection covered an entire collegiate season, commencing in the preseason and concluding upon elimi
Climate change is projected to aggravate water quality impairment and to endanger drinking water supply.The effects of global warming on water quality must be understood better to develop targeted mitigation strategies.We conducted water and sediment analyses in the eutrophicated Antrift catchment (Hesse, Germany) in the uncommonly warm years 2018/
Industrial machines with sharp moving blades are extremely dangerous to workers.These machines often rotate for some time (called the run-down time) before completely stopping due to little or no brakes.In the case where brakes are used, they are mechanical in nature and are associated with problems of wear out and frequent maintenance among others
We investigate the use of a multi-agent multi-armed bandit (MA-MAB) setting for modeling repeated Cournot oligopoly games, where the firms acting as agents choose from the set Right Foot Pad of arms representing production quantity (a discrete value).Agents interact with separate and independent bandit problems.In this formulation, each agent makes
