Abstract Background Addressing the uptake of research findings into policy-making is increasingly important for researchers who ultimately seek to contribute to improved health outcomes.The aims of the Swiss Programme for Research on Global Issues for Development (r4d Programme) initiated by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Swiss Agenc
Dominance-based hierarchies have been taken for granted as the way we structure our organizations, but they are a part of a paradigm that has put our whole existence in peril.There is an urgent need to explore alternative paradigms that take us away from dystopic futures towards preferred, life enhancing paradigms based on wellbeing.One of the flex
Modern geomorphologic investigations of condition and change of the intensity of erosive process should be based on application of remote sensing methods which are based on processing of aerial and satellite photographs.Using of these methods is very important because it enables good possibilities for realizing regional relations read more of the i
Japanese rhinoceros beetle (Trypoxylus dichotomus) males have exaggerated head horns that they use as weapons in combat over reproductive opportunities.In click here these contests, there is an advantage to having a longer horn, and there seems to be little cost to horn exaggeration.However, populations vary in the amount of horn exaggeration acros
This paper presents a new two-stage multi-swarm particle swarm optimizer (TMPSO), which employs the multi-swarm method canine spectra kc 3 intranasal single dose and takes two-stage different search strategies in the whole iteration process.This new optimizer includes two versions: unconstrained TMPSO (uTMPSO) and constrained TMPSO (cTMPSO) for unc
