Control of body size by oxygen supply reveals size-dependent and size-independent mechanisms of molting and metamorphosis.
Body size profoundly affects many aspects of animal biology, including metamorphosis, allometry, size-dependent alternative pathways of gene expression, and the social and ecological roles of individuals. However, regulation of body size is one of the fundamental unsolved problems in developmental biology. The control of body size requires a mechanism that assesses size and stops growth within ...
متن کاملlanguage learning strategies and vocabulary size of iranian efl learners
learning a second or foreign language requires the manipulation of four main skills, namely, listening, reading, speaking, and writing which lead to effective communication. it is obvious that vocabulary is an indispensible part of any communication, so without a vocabulary, no meaningful communication can take place and meaningful communication relies heavily on vocabulary. one fundamental fac...
Mechanisms of size control.
The study of organ size control is a discipline of developmental biology that is largely unexplored. Although the size of an organ or organism depends largely on cell numbers and cell size, studies have found that the simple deregulation of cell proliferation or cell growth does not necessarily lead to changes in organ size. Recent genetic screens in Drosophila suggest that mutations that do af...

متن کاملThe size-independent oxygen cost of running.
PURPOSE The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether differences in running economy among children, adolescents, and adults can be explained by differences in resting metabolism, mass, and stature. METHODS Participants were 36 children, 23 adolescents, and 24 adults. Mass-specific gross oxygen cost per minute ([OV0312]O(2gross) x M-1), mass-specific gross oxygen cost per kilomet...
