Testing a simple stochastic model for the dynamics of waterfowl aggregations
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-08)
We consider a simple stochastic model for the dynamics of mixed-species waterfowl aggregations and describe two methods for assessing the fit of this model to field data. The model does not incorporate species-specific ...
Sensory responses of descending brain neurons in the walking cricket Gryllus bimaculatus
(Springer-Verlag, 2001-02)
Sensory responses of various descending brain neurons, their modulation during standing or walking, and the correlation of such modulations with stimulus category were investigated. Stimuli involving (1) static or moving ...
Plasma beta-endorphin-like immunoreactivity, self reported pain perception and anxiety levels in women during pregnancy and labor
(Elsevier, 2006-04-07)
Plasma Beta-endorphin (B-END) immunoreactivity was measured in 19 men, 16 women at midcycle, and ten pregnant women at various points in their pregnancies. There is a significant difference between the levels measured in ...
Mothers influence offspring body size through post-oviposition maternal effects in the redbacked salamander, Plethodon cinereus
(Springer-Verlag, 2004-01)
In the terrestrial salamander ( Plethodon cinereus ), previous work has shown that mother’s body size is positively correlated to offspring size at the time of hatching even after controlling for the effects of egg size. ...
Neonatal deafening causes changes in Fos protein induced by cochlear electrical stimulation
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-05)
The influence of neonatal deafness on cochlear electrically evoked Fos expression in the auditory brainstem was examined. Newborn rats were deafened by systemic injection of kanamycin, 1 mg/g daily for 12 days. At 4, 5, 6 ...
The 13th Annual International Mammalian Genome Society Conference: A Meeting Report
(Springer-Verlag; Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 2000-06)
CASA: An Efficient Automated Assignment of Protein Mainchain NMR Data Using an Ordered Tree Search Algorithm
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer, 2005-12)
Rapid analysis of protein structure, interaction, and dynamics requires fast and automated assignments of 3D protein backbone triple-resonance NMR spectra. We introduce a new depth-first ordered tree search method of ...
Pulse-chase studies of the POMC/Beta-endorphin system in the pituitary of acutely and chronically stressed rats
(Elsevier, 2006-04-07)
Experiments were carried out to determine whether stress induces biochemical changes in the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) system in anterior (AL) and intermediate-posterior lobe (IPL) of rat. In a series of pulse-chase ...
DNA replication defect in the Escherichia coli cgtA (ts) mutant arising from reduced DnaA levels
(Springer-Verlag, 2006-03-04)
In Escherichia coli and other bacteria, the ribosome-associated CgtA GTP-binding protein plays a critical role in many basic cellular processes, including the control of DNA replication and/or segregation. However, the ...
Biomass evolution in porous media and its effects on permeability under starvation conditions
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-07-05)
The purpose of this study was to understand bacteria profile modification and its applications in subsurface biological operations such as biobarrier formation, in situ bioremediation, and microbial-enhanced oil recovery. ...
