In this study, we investigated the mechanisms behind species coexistence and the relationships between functional diversity Fridge Crisper Bin Support and species richness in ant assemblages in both forest and pasture habitats in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon.We addressed the specific question: What is the primary mechanism for species coexiste
Abstract The addition of polymer fibers to cemented paste backfill (CPB) has shown promise in enhancing mechanical properties, although it also introduces changes in rheological characteristics.This study aimed to investigate the influence of different types of polymer fibers, namely virgin commercial polypropylene fiber (CPPF), recycled tire polym
The group teaching optimization algorithm (GTOA) is a meta CD Organizer heuristic optimization algorithm simulating the group teaching mechanism.The inspiration of GTOA comes from the group teaching mechanism.Each student will learn the knowledge obtained in the teacher phase, but each student’s autonomy is weak.This paper considers that each stu
One of the on-going difficulties for finance practitioners is to out rightly prove or disapprove the concept of market efficiency because the constituents of the concept do not always reflect real financial markets.Market efficiency is an idle state that varies with time and may have dire consequences for active market participants.The aim of this
A new image enhancement algorithm employing guided filtering is proposed in this work for enhancement of solar images and videos, so that users can Paint Respirator easily figure out important fine structures imbedded in the recorded images/movies for solar observation.The proposed algorithm can efficiently remove image noises, including Gaussian a
