Fisheries interactions are the most serious threats for sea turtle populations. Despite the existence of some rescue centres providing post-traumatic care and rehabilitation, adequate treatment is hampered by the lack of understanding of the problems incurred while turtles remain entrapped in fishing gears. Recently it was shown that bycaught loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) could exper...

In proteomics research still two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-GE) is currently used for biomarker discovery. We applied free flow electrophoresis (FFE) separation technology combined with biomolecular interaction sensing using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) imaging in an integrated proteomics-on-a-chip device as a proof of concept for biomarker discovery.

In this paper, we construct an analytical solution of the one-dimensional spinless Salpeter equation with a Coulomb potential supplemented by a hard core interaction, which keeps the particle in the x positive region. 03.65.Pm,03.65.Ge Typeset using REVTEX Chercheur I.I.S.N.

RASTICALLY distorted segregation of certain marker genes on chromosome D4 of the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentzrm Mill.) prompted an earlier investigation (RICK 1966) of a series of alleles that effect gamete elimination. Three alleles-Ge", GeC, and GeP-are known at this locus, but gametes are eliminated only in Gec/Gep heterozygotes; both male and female Gee gametes are aborted; the interactio...

Monte Carlo simulation of carrier dynamics and far-infrared absorption was performed to test the importance of electron-electron interaction in selectively doped multi-layer p-Ge laser at high doping concentration. The laser design exploits the known widely tunable mechanism of THz amplification on inter-sub-band transitions in p-Ge, but with spatial separation of carrier accumulation and relax...

Market availability and price of conventional feedstuffs are variable, making imperative to explore alternative feedstuffs. Cassava (Manihot esculenta) is a starchy tuber that can be a potential feedstuff for swine. Three sample type (combinations of cassava parts): 100% tubers (T100), 50% tubers and 50% leaves (T50), and 25% tubers and 75% leaves (T25) were ensiled over three periods [fresh (M...

Hole gases in planar germanium can have high mobilities combination with strong spin-orbit interaction and electrically tunable g-factors, are therefore emerging as a promising platform for creating hybrid superconductor-semiconductor devices. A key challenge towards Ge-based quantum technologies is the design of high-quality interfaces superconducting contacts that robust against magnetic fiel...

The visible luminescence from Ge nanoparticles and nanocrystallites has generated interest due to the feasibility of tuning band gap by controlling the sizes. Germanium (Ge) quantum dots (QDs) with average diameter ~16 to 8 nm are synthesized by radio frequency magnetron sputtering under different growth conditions. These QDs with narrow size distribution and high density, characterized using a...

In this article, the authors describe relatively recent efforts by scientific research agencies to promote, through various funding programs, the integration of social sciences and humanities with the natural sciences. This "integrated" approach seeks to study science through a broader interdisciplinary lens in order to better anticipate, understand, and address its ethical, legal, and social i...

Classifiers in Mandarin Chinese typically occur after a numeral and before a noun. In this paper, we examine the interactions that the Mandarin general classifier, ge, has with its neighboring elements as they form constructions. Taking the usage-based approach, we investigate post-verbal constructions involving ge, i.e., ‘V yi ge N’ and its variations. Because of repeated use, the prototypical...
