The multi-dimensional nature of vocal production learning. Vocal production learning is the production of modified or novel vocalizations, as a result of learning from the experience of the acoustic signals of others. In this process, auditory input leads to the formation of a memory, to which the vocal output is compared. ...

Dimension stone was produced by approximately 200 companies operating 236 quarries in 34 States. Leading producing States were, in descending order by tonnage, Texas, Wisconsin, Indiana, Georgia, and Vermont. These five States accounted for about 67% of the production quantity and contributed about 56% of the value of domestic production.

We propose a typology that consists of four dimensions: energy, economic, nature and landscape. These dimensions lead to three main types of multifunctional SPP: mixed-production, nature-inclusive ...

Edge epitaxy, which is crucial for in situ production of lateral heterostructures, can be achieved by modifying CVD 44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53. The similar structures and chemistry of the TMDs ...

The fight against climate change is at an unprecedented critical phase: the impact of human systems of production and consumption on the environment as well as the transition to a more sustainable ...

Together with the energy dimension of electricity production, the economic, nature and landscape dimensions shape the spatial configuration of a multifunctional SPP (Fig. 2). Using these four dimensions of the typology, the spatial configuration of an SPP can be examined and discussed. Download : Download high-res image (394KB)

1. Introduction. Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic animals (e.g., finfish, mollusks, and crustaceans) and seaweeds, is the fastest growing food production sector in the world, with an average annual growth rate of 5.8% during the period 2000–2016 (FAO, 2018).Global aquaculture production reached 80 million tons of food fish in 2016, of …

3 Natural units in energy, mass and momentum For any system the total energy E, momentum p and mass m are related by the relativistic formu-la E2=(pc) 2 +(mc2) 2. Thus E, pc and mc2 have dimensions of energy, or GeV. Choosing units where c = 1, the energy relationship can be written in the simpler form E 2=p2+m2, with
