As a new approach for the characterization and determination of the origin of particulate organic matter (POM) in coastal waters, we measured the C-14 activity and C-13/C-12 isotope ratios and applied molecular analysis by means of AMS, IRMS and…

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of airborne-particle abrasion and selective infiltration etching of a yttrium-partially stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) implant surfaces on nerve conduction. Particle-abraded…

Insects of the order Hymenoptera are biologically and economically important members of natural and agro ecosystems and exhibit diverse biologies, mating systems, and sex pheromones. We review what is known of their sex pheromone chemistry and…
-
Lacking a comprehensive fossil record, solitary representatives of the taxa, and/or a definitive phylogeny of closely related insects, comparison of the life history and social biology of basal, living groups is one of the few available options for…

In large-herbivore populations, environmental variation and densitydependence co-occur and have similar effects on various fitness components. Our reviewaims to quantify the temporal variability of fitness components and examine howthat variability…

An extensive study of the comparative osteology of turkeys (Aves: Meleagrididae) confirms the validity of the extinct California Turkey, Meleagris californica. The study included all major and many minor skeletal elements of adult specimens of M.…

Knowing the spatial patterns of cross-fertility in natural plant populations yields key insight into biparental inbreeding depression, isolation by distance, and, ultimately, speciation. Three adults each of two tropical tree species (Syzygium…

Individuals in some species prefer mates carrying dissimilar genes at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), which may function to increase the MHC or overall heterozygosity of progeny. Here I review the evidence for MHC-dependent mating…

The remaining five Coenocorypha snipes are restricted to remote islands in the New Zealand archipelago, so their ecology is difficult to study directly. To ascertain habitat types and ecological interactions across the different taxa and locations,…

The vomeronasal system projects to the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), to the medial (Me) and posterior medial cortical nuclei (PMCN) of the amygdala, to the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST), and to other central structures shown to be…

Excitotoxicity is a process in which glutamate or other excitatory amino acids induce neuronal cell death. Accumulating evidence suggests that excitotoxicity may contribute to human neuronal cell loss caused by acute insults and chronic degeneration…

This paper presents collaborative smoothing and mapping (C-SAM) as a viable approach to the multi-robot map- alignment problem. This method enables a team of robots to build joint maps with or without initial knowledge of their relative poses. To…

C-values, which estimate genome size, have puzzled geneticists for years because they bear no relationship to organismal complexity. Though C-values have been estimated for thousands of species, considerably more data are required in order to better…

Caenorhabditis elegans modulates its locomotory rate in response to its food, bacteria, in two ways. First, well-fed wild-type animals move more slowly in the presence of bacteria than in the absence of bacteria. This basal slowing response is…

The eyeless animal C. elegans is able to sense light and engages in phototaxis behavior that is mediated by photoreceptor cells. However, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying phototransduction in C. elegans remain largely unclear. By…

Mechanotransduction channels mediate several common sensory modalities such as hearing, touch, and proprioception; however, very little is known about the molecular identities of these channels. Many TRP family channels have been implicated in…

Classifier systems play a major role in machine learning and knowledge-based systems, and Ross Quinlan's work on ID3 and C4.5 is widely acknowledged to have made some of the most significant contributions to their development. This book is a…

Changes in intracellular free calcium ion concentration (Ca(2+)(i)) have been visualized over more than two decades using fluorescent dyes and optical microscopy. So far, however, most imaging studies have been performed on isolated cells or brain…

The binding interface of calmodulin and a calmodulin binding peptide were reengineered by computationally designing complementary bumps and holes. This redesign led to the development of sensitive and specific pairs of mutant proteins used to sense…
