Introduction.To explore the long term incidence and predictors of incisional hernia in patients that had RARP.Methods.All patients who underwent RARP between 2003 and 2012 were mailed Dice a survey reviewing hernia type, location, and repair.Results.Of 577 patients, 48 (8.3%) had a hernia at an incisional site (35 men had umbilical), diagnosed at (
Does Thinning Homogenous and Dense Regrowth Benefit Bats? Radio-Tracking, Ultrasonic Detection and Trapping
Renewal ecology promotes the creation and enhancement of landscapes that support biodiversity and ecosystem services for humans.Silvicultural thinning of forest regrowth to reduce tree competition represents a form of active management that may also benefit biodiversity, especially where secondary regrowth dominates.However, ecological responses to
Bifurcation diagrams for singularly perturbed system: the multi-dimensional case.
We consider a singularly perturbed system where the fast dynamics of the unperturbed problem exhibits a trajectory homoclinic to a critical point.We assume that the slow time system admits a unique critical point, which undergoes Stash Cans a bifurcation as a second parameter varies: transcritical, saddle-node, or pitchfork.We generalize to the mul
