Substitution rates vary between species, and many explanations regarding the causes of this variation have been proposed. Here we consider how new genomic data on the per-generation mutation rate impinge on proposed hypotheses for substitution rate variation in primates. We propose that the generation-time effect as it is usually understood cannot explain the observed rate variation, but instea...

abstract: mastitis is an inflammatory reaction of the mammary tissue in response to the introduction and multiplication of pathogens and is characterized by increasing somatic cell count (scc) in milk. the main objective of present study is to assess the probable associations between somatic cell (sc) levels and calcium and phosphorus and ratio of ca/p in raw milk. milk samples were collected f...

BACKGROUND The relationships among somatic complaints, emotion awareness and mood have been observed in late childhood and adolescence, but very few studies have been carried out in adult populations like this work. This study also incorporates personality dimensions that can exacerbate or reduce the emergence of somatic complaints. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyse the combined co...
