| learn it now, sing it later? field and laboratory studies on song repertoire acquisition and song use in nightingales. | in many bird species, song changes with age. the mechanisms that account for such changes are only partially understood. common nightingales luscinia megarhynchos change the size and composition of their repertoire between their first and second breeding season. to inquire into mechanisms involved in such changes, we compared the singing of 1-year-old and older free-living nightingales. older males have more song types in common than have 1-year olds. certain song types frequently sung by older ... | 2014 | 25204724 |

| ik brunel's crimean war hospital. | "those wonderful huts…" (florence nightingale). this is the story of the british civil hospital, erected in 1855 at renkioi on the south dardanelles coast of turkey. the spectacular hospital was a portable one designed by british engineer ik brunel. it was his only health-related project, and it was known as a civil hospital because its staff were all civilians, despite its patients being military. | 2014 | 25196954 |
| topological indices for open and thermal systems via uhlmann's phase. | two-dimensional topological phases are characterized by thouless-kohmoto-nightingale-den nijs integers, which classify bloch energy bands or groups of bloch bands. however, quantization does not survive thermal averaging or dephasing to mixed states. we show that using uhlmann's parallel transport for density matrices [rep. math. phys. 24, 229 (1986). | 2014 | 25170720 |

| stereotactic vacuum-assisted core biopsy results for non-palpable breast lesions. | the increase in breast cancer awareness and widespread use of mammographic screening has led to an increased detection of (non-palpable) breast cancers that cannot be discovered through physical examination. one of the methods used in the diagnosis of these cancers is vacuum-assisted core biopsy, which prevents a considerable number of patients from undergoing surgical procedures. the aim of this study was to present the results of stereotactic vacuum-assisted core biopsy for suspicious breast l ... | 2014 | 25040970 |

| the use of network analysis to study complex animal communication systems: a study on nightingale song. | the singing of song birds can form complex signal systems comprised of numerous subunits sung with distinct combinatorial properties that have been described as syntax-like. this complexity has inspired inquiries into similarities of bird song to human language; but the quantitative analysis and description of song sequences is a challenging task. in this study, we analysed song sequences of common nightingales (luscinia megarhynchos) by means of a network analysis. we translated long nocturnal ... | 2014 | 24807258 |

| individual migration timing of common nightingales is tuned with vegetation and prey phenology at breeding sites. | the timing of migration substantially influences individual fitness. to match peak requirements with peak resource availability, we hypothesized that individual migrants schedule spring migration in close relation to seasonal changes in environmental conditions along the route and particularly, at the breeding destination.to test this hypothesis, we investigated the timing of spring migration in male common nightingales luscinia megarhynchos, a small palearctic-african long-distance migrant, by ... | 2014 | 24650177 |
| variable detours in long-distance migration across ecological barriers and their relation to habitat availability at ground. | migration detours, the spatial deviation from the shortest route, are a widespread phenomenon in migratory species, especially if barriers must be crossed. moving longer distances causes additional efforts in energy and time, and to be adaptive, this should be counterbalanced by favorable condition en route. we compared migration patterns of nightingales that travelled along different flyways from their european breeding sites to the african nonbreeding sites. we tested for deviations from short ... | 2014 | 25505540 |

| hybrid vascular surgery approaches for multilevel arterial occlusive disease. | the incidence of multilevel vascular occlusive disease is increased with patient age. multilevel arterial occlusive disease cases are some of the hardest in the vascular surgical realm because of the comorbidities. in these high-risk patients inflow constrictions may limit the success of distal bypasses. at the same time the constrictions in the outflow may necessitate long bypass circuits that have less long-term patency rates. | 2015 | 25881221 |

| registered nurses' descriptions of caring: a phenomenographic interview study. | nursing has come a long way since the days of florence nightingale and even though no consensus exists it would seem reasonable to assume that caring still remains the inner core, the essence of nursing. in the light of the societal, contextual and political changes that have taken place during the 21st century, it is important to explore whether these might have influenced the essence of nursing. the aim of this study was to describe registered nurses' conceptions of caring. | 2015 | 25834478 |
