Abstract Bromelia includes 66 species, grouped in three subgenera: Bromelia, Distiacanthus and Karatas.The genus is one NATIVE PRO of the earlier divergent groups within Bromelioideae, a subfamily with innumerable problems of generic delimitation.Considering that few phylogenetic studies have included more than one species of Bromelia, the objectiv

In ecology, species can mitigate their extinction risks in uncertain environments by diversifying individual phenotypes.This observation is quantified by the theory of bet-hedging, which provides a reason for the degree of phenotypic diversity observed even in clonal populations.Bet-hedging in well-mixed populations is rather well understood.Howeve

A photonic nanojet (PNJ) is a highly confined light IBS RELIEF BIOTIC beam that focuses from the shadow side of microparticles.In $46.47lambda $this work, we propose a PNJ with ultrahigh quality factor formed by dielectric truncated microtoroid.The key properties of PNJ, such as the maximum intensity, the length of PNJ, the full-width at half maxim

Drowsiness is one of the main causes of road accidents and endangers the lives of road users.Recently, there has been considerable interest in utilizing features extracted from electroencephalography (EEG) signals to detect driver drowsiness.However, in most of the work performed in this area, the eyeblink or ocular artifacts present in EEG signals
