This paper discusses the development of the Romanian party system in view of the cartel party thesis proposed by Richard Katz and Peter Mair.The paper is divided into three sections.In the first section I offer a brief review of the cartel party thesis and present a few theoretical Sofa Bed Topper arguments regarding the study of cartelization.I ar

Estuaries function as important nursery and foraging habitats for many coastal species, including highly migratory sharks.Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, is one of the largest estuaries in the continental United States and provides a variety of potential habitats for sharks.In order to identify and spatially delineate shark habitats within Pamlico S

BackgroundToxoplasmosis is a cosmopolitan infection caused by an intracellular obligatory protozoan, Toxoplasma gondii.Infection to this parasite in immunocompetent patients is usually UBIQUINOL COQ10 asymptomatic, but today it is believed that the infection can be a risk factor for a variety of diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA).RA is a

The fracture performance of axisymmetric notched samples taken from pearlitic steels with different levels of cold-drawing is studied.To this end, a real manufacture chain was stopped in the course of the process (on-site in the factory), and samples of all intermediate stages were extracted from the initial hot-rolled bar (not cold-drawn at all) t

This paper provides a novel meta-heuristic optimization algorithm for solving continuous optimization problems efficiently in the field of numerical and engineering optimization: Piranha Foraging Optimization Algorithm (PFOA).The algorithm is inspired by the flexible and mobile foraging behavior of piranha swarm and divides their foraging behavior
