During the last fifty years ecology has matured as a scientific discipline.In this paper I analyse the temporal development of the paradigm based on physical systems (the ecosystem paradigm), and the evolutionary ecology paradigm.I first analyse the contents of 61 textbooks to calculate the relative importance of ecosystem and evolutionary ecology
We address precision of estimation of the degree of polarization (DOP) from the orthogonal state contrast image (OSCI) in Gotu Kola the presence of both signal-dependent Poisson noise due to useful signal, and additive Poisson noise due to dark current and / or background light.We determine the Cramer Rao Lower Bound and deduce from it figures of m
Filling of liquid samples is realized in a microfluidic device with applications including analytical systems, biomedical devices, and systems for fundamental research.The filling of a Eye Shadow disk-shaped polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microchamber by liquid is analyzed with reference to microstructures with inlets and outlets.The microstructures a
We report a 62-year-old diabetic male who had recurrent episodes of haemoptysis, diagnosed to have Aspergilloma in the right upper lobe cavitary lesion of the lung.Bronchoscopic biopsy revealed a Eye Shadow fungal ball (Aspergillus niger) in the right upper lobe.Since the patient did not respond to medical treatment, unfit for any surgical interven
