Gypsophila tomentosa and G.struthium are closely related species, characteristic of two European priority habitats, salt and gypsum inland steppes, respectively.Germination strategies of the two taxa were investigated in plants from two nearby populations, growing under the same climatic conditions but on different types of soil, and belonging to d
In Scotland, large deer populations are associated with negative ecological and socioeconomic impacts, such as damage to peatlands and forests, agricultural and commercial forestry losses, Lyme disease transmission, UHF and road accidents.Increasing the annual deer cull might help address these negative impacts, but could be ethically controversial
With the widespread adoption of the internet of things (IoT) technologies towards building a smart city, connected devices often offload computation tasks to nearby edge Coffee Table locations (base stations) to reduce overall computation and network delay.However, serving an ever-increasing number of end devices at these traditional edge locations
Synergy hands absorb the complexity of control and mechanisms inherent in multi-fingered hands, enabling human-like grasping with simple mechanisms and low-dimensional control.However, they struggle with functional object grasping and dexterous manipulation expected of multi-fingered hands.In this study, we propose a synergy hand using a fluid netw
