Assistant Professor of Zoology, University of Maine, Orono, Maine 04469; and Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois 60115. Abstract: Our studies in similar scrub habitats in California and Chile reveal some interesting differences between these two regions in the structure of their small mammal communities. The Chilean fauna is less diverse, w...

Also, it may be drug-induced due to histamine release, dopamine receptor blockade, or sympathomimetic action. In addition, excessive release of catecholamines from the pheochromocytoma may be attributed to mechanical factors such as squeeze of the tumor during straining, positioning of the patient, by scrubbing, by intraperitoneal carbon dioxide insufflations during laparoscopy, or by direct ma...

CONTEXT In the normal course of activity, pathologists create and archive immense data sets of scientifically valuable information. Researchers need pathology-based data sets, annotated with clinical information and linked to archived tissues, to discover and validate new diagnostic tests and therapies. Pathology records can be used for research purposes (without obtaining informed patient cons...

We analyzed Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) images of the plume of Enceladus to derive particle number densities for the purpose of comparing our results with those obtained from other Cassini instrument investigations. Initial discrepancies in the results from different instruments, as large as factors of 10-20, can be reduced to ∼2 to 3 by accounting for the different times and geomet...

During a nuclear power plant severe accident, discharging gas mixture into the spent-fuel pool is an alternative containment depressurization measurement through which radioactive aerosols can be scrubbed. However, it necessary to develop code for analyzing decontamination factor of aerosol scrubbing. This article has established analysis model considering key scrubbing mechanisms and introduce...
