Inheritance of Leaf Shape and Main Vein Color in Caladium by Zhanao Deng, Brent K. Harbaugh

“… The ornamental value of caladiums (Caladium x hortulanum Birdsey) depends, to a great extent, on leaf characteristics including shape, color, color pattern, and venation pattern. Broadly, caladium leaves are classified into three shapes: fancy, lance, and strap (Fig. 1).  …”

Research on the Spatial Network Connection Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Chengdu–Chongqing Urban Agglomeration from the Perspective of Flow Space by Yangguang Hao, Zhongwei Shen, Jiexi Ma, Jiawei Li, Mengqian Yang

“…The differences in the secondary industrial structure and public budget expenditures have a significant positive impact on the intensity of inter-city element flows, and the differences in per capita consumption expenditures have a significant negative impact, collectively influencing the formation of the spatial connectivity pattern of the CCUA. The findings of this study can provide a scientific basis for the construction and optimization of the spatial connectivity pattern of the CCUA.…”

Numerical Investigation of the System-Matrix Method for Higher-Order Probe Correction in Spherical Near-Field Antenna Measurements by Thorkild B. Hansen

“…The system-matrix method for higher-order probe correction in spherical near-field scanning is based on a renormalized least-squares approach in which the normal matrix closely resembles the identity matrix when most of the energy of the probe pattern resides in the first-order modes. This method will be “stressed-tested” in the present paper by employing probes for which up to 49% of the pattern energy resides in the higher-order modes. …”

How FPGAs Can Help Create Self-Recoverable Antenna Arrays by Miroslav Joler

“…An approach to utilize Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology to control antenna arrays is presented based on the scenario of sensing a failure of any array element, analyzing degradation of the radiation pattern due to that failure, and finding a new set of excitations to the array elements in order to recover the radiation pattern as close to the original state as possible, thus creating a self-recoverable antenna array (SRA). …”

Does Competence Determine Who Leads in a Dyadic Cooperative Task? A Study of Children with and without a Neurodevelopmental Disorder by Roy Vink, Fred Hasselman, Antonius H. N. Cillessen, Maarten L. Wijnants, Anna M. T. Bosman

“…For children with a neurodevelopmental disorder, the pattern differed depending on task performance. While the patterns of low-performing dyads were comparable to those of typically developing children, high-performing dyads showed the opposite pattern; namely, the low-ability dyad member was in the lead. …”

LA ROUMANIE AU BOUT DE LA TRANSITION DÉMOGRAPHIQUE: DISPARITÉS ET CONVERGENCES RÉGIONALES by IONEL MUNTELE

“…The analyses of some long series of demographic data, got by processing various and often contradictory recordings, clearlypoint out the distinct stages of the Romanian society’s adjustment to the classical pattern of the demographic transition. The presence of a diffusion of this pattern was confirmed both at the national and regional level, starting from several nuclei earlier connected to the modernization process (the capital city of the country, theSouth of Transylvania and Banat), well known from the literature dealing with this topic. …”
