The spiny lobster, Panulirus marginatus, is endemic to the Hawaiian Archipelago and Johnston Atoll. The species is found throughout the archipelago and is the target of a trap fishery in the northwestern portion of the archipelago known as the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI). From the early 1980s to 1990, the majority of fishery catches came from two banks, Necker Island and Maro Reef, loc...

Dendritic cells (DC) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells for initiating immune responses. DC maturation can be induced by exposing of immature DC to pathogen products or pro-inflammatory factor, which dramatically enhances the ability of DC to activate Ag-specific T cells. In this study, a recombinant calreticulin fragment 39-272 (rCRT/39-272) covering the lectin-like N domain and part...

INTRODUCTION This study was conducted in a sugar belt region of western Kenya interfacing epidemic and endemic malaria transmission. We investigated Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (ss) and Anopheles arabiensis species compositions and densities, human host choice, and infectivity. METHODOLOGY Mosquitoes were captured using pyrethrum spray catch technique and first identified based on morphol...

Testing for conserved and novel mechanisms underlying phenotypic evolution requires a diversity of genomes available for comparison spanning multiple independent lineages. For example, complex social behavior in insects has been investigated primarily with eusocial lineages, nearly all of which are Hymenoptera. If conserved genomic influences on sociality do exist, we need data from a wider ran...

Statistical model validation is treated for a general class of nonparamet-ric uncertainty models. This problem is shown to reduce, in many cases of interest, to computing the limit of a sequence (V k) 1 1 of relative weighted volumes of convex sets in R k. An associated decision problem is shown to reduce to a pair of likelihood ratio tests. The notion of testability is introduced to describe u...
