Regionalism moves in waves, but some dimensions of regional integration, such as delegation of authority, seem to increase no matter what. Standard European integration theories do not have an explanation for this phenomenon, most cases do not fit its theoretical expectations. M…

A parvovirose canina é uma doença infecciosa que afeta os canídeos domésticos. Está associada a um quadro de doença gastrointestinal com vómitos e diarreia sanguinolenta. Em neonatos pode provocar doença cardíaca com morte aparentemente súbita. Nos casos mais graves, a quebra da…
This study focuses on three major Maghreb states (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia) with distinct institutional, political and socioeconomic patterns. It essentially tackles the issue of technological development particularly investments, trade, human capital and patents in a social…
The present study examined students' difficulties in Modern Greek (reading fluency, comprehension, and dictation) related to their gender, and the socioeconomic status (SES) of their family. It was conducted with fourth grade students who attended three elementary public schools…
This thesis documents the investigation into the acquisition of knowledge from biological data using computational methods for the discovery of significantly frequent patterns in gene location and phylogeny. Beginning with an initial statistical analysis of distribution of gene …
Lesser scaup ( Aythya affinis ; scaup) comprise 89% of the continental breeding population of scaup (greater, Aythya marila , and lesser combined) which has declined nearly 60% over the past 5 decades from an estimated 7.9 million in 1972 to a historical low of 3.2 million in 20…
In the past few decades, structural control research has focused mostly on passive and semiactive vibration mitigation strategies. Among the latter, the clipped-optimal control paradigm is one of the most commonly used. With this control strategy, a primary controller is designe…
The Earth is rotating around its rotation axis in an irregular manner. The Earth rotation axis and its orientation in space vary with respect to the reference system (both the terrestrial and the celestial) due to the wide range of processes that contribute to the rotation excit…
The highly redshifted, sky-averaged spectrum from neutral hydrogen’s 21-cm line is a promising probe of the history of the Universe after the release of the cosmic microwave background and prior to the reionization of the Universe by the first generations of compact sources. It …
A "technosignature" has been defined as an "object, substance, and/or pattern whose origin specifically requires a [technological] agent," by analogy with biosignatures. While searches for radio technosignatures from extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) are still the most develop…
How animals adapt to environmental stress has long been of concern. Studies looking at effects of resource limitation often focus on food. However, water is also essential for life and can be limited in the environment. Despite this, little is known about how water availability …
Phylogenetics, the reconstruction of evolutionary relationships between species, underpins evolutionary biology. These relationships are most often inferred from either or both morphology and molecules, but molecular data are often preferred because of the objective atomization …
The intrinsic atomistic variability of nano-scale integrated circuit (IC) technology must be taken into account when analysing circuit designs to predict likely yield. These ‘atomistic’ variabilities are random in nature and are so great that new circuit analysis techniques are …
