BACKGROUND As a result of the epigenetic phenomenon of X chromosome inactivation (XCI) every woman is a mosaic of cells with either an inactive paternal X chromosome or an inactive maternal X chromosome. The ratio between inactive paternal and maternal X chromosomes is different for every female individual, and can influence an X-encoded trait or disease. A multitude of X linked conditions is k...

To gain understanding of patterns in forest structure and their causes, we mapped the distribution of three canopy cover classes and measured change in one of them over 40 years using aerial photographs for the 500 ha Neskowin Crest Research Natural Area (Lincoln and Tillamook Counties, Oregon). One class (fine texture, trees of uniform crown diameter and height) covered about half the area; it...

1. How organisms locate their hosts is of fundamental importance in a variety of basic and applied ecological fields, including population dynamics, invasive species management and biological control. However, tracking movement of small organisms, such as insects, poses significant logistical challenges. 2. Mass-release and individual–mark–recapture techniques were combined in an individually m...

here we report a novel approach for preparation of a 6-day transdermal drug delivery system (tdds) as treatment for mild to moderate alzheimer’s disease. the spray drying method was used to prepare microparticles containing the anti-alzheimer drug. the content of the drug was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) method. the morphology and size range of the microparticles ...

Patch mosaic burning, in which fire is used to produce a mosaic of habitat patches representative of a range of fire histories ('pyrodiversity'), has been widely advocated to promote greater biodiversity. However, the details of desired fire mosaics for prescribed burning programs are often unspecified. Threatened small to medium-sized mammals (35 g to 5.5 kg) in the fire-prone tropical savanna...
