DIFFERENCES IN LEAF FLAMMABILITY, LEAF TRAITS AND FLAMMABILITY-TRAIT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN NATIVE AND EXOTIC PLANT SPECIES OF DRY SCLEROPHYLL FOREST.

Differences in leaf flammability, leaf traits and flammability-trait relationships between native and exotic plant species of dry sclerophyll forest.

The flammability of plant leaves influences the spread of fire through vegetation.Exotic plants invading native vegetation may increase the spread of bushfires if their leaves are more flammable than native leaves.We compared fresh-leaf and dry-leaf flammability (time to ignition) between 52 native and 27 exotic plant species inhabiting dry sclerop

Cortical stimulation in pharmacoresistant focal epilepsies

Abstract Pharmacoresistance and adverse drug events designate a considerable group of patients with focal epilepsies that require alternative treatments such as neurosurgical intervention and neurostimulation.Electrical or magnetic stimulations of cortical brain areas for the treatment of pharmacoresistant focal epilepsies emerged from preclinical
