Invasive plant species can impede the establishment and growth of native plants and affect several ecosystem properties.These properties include soil cover, nutrient cycling, fire regimes, and hydrology.Controlling invasive plants is therefore a necessary, but usually expensive, step in restoring an ecosystem.The sustainability of materials with an
Seismic Design of Bridges against Near-Fault Ground Motions Using Combined Seismic Isolation and Restraining Systems of LRBs and CDRs
This paper focuses on the seismic isolation design of near-fault bridges under the seismic excitations of near-fault ground motions in high-intensity earthquake zones and proposes a combined control system using lead rubber bearings (LRBs) and cable displacement restrainers pituitary gland in spanish (CDRs) along with ductility seismic resistance f
Strategies Adopted by Novice Nurse Educators to Facilitate Their Transition From Practice to Academia: A Qualitative Study in Ghana
Introduction The successful transition of nurses from corndogs oslo clinical practice to academia is essential to the training of a proficient future nursing workforce.However, deprived of requisite support and guidance, novice nurse educators often find the transition from bedside nursing practice to the classroom challenging and hence, adopt some
Lapped Block Image Analysis via the Method of Legendre Moments
Research investigating the use of Legendre moments for pattern recognition has been performed in recent years.This field of research remains quite open.This paper proposes a new technique based on block-based reconstruction method (BBRM) using Legendre moments compared with the global reconstruction method (GRM).For alleviating the blocking artifac
Graphs from Features: Tree-Based Graph Layout for Feature Analysis
Feature Analysis has become a very critical task in data analysis and visualization.Graph structures are very flexible in terms of representation and may encode important information on features but are challenging in regards to layout being adequate for analysis tasks.In this study, we propose and develop similarity-based graph layouts with the pu
