the present study reports the changes in the phytoplankton community structure in taklong island national marine reserve (tinmar), guimaras island, philippines. quantification of pah yielded undetectable results, whereas, primary productivity, phytoplankton density, and diversity values were higher as compared to samples before the oil spill and samples from the reference site. sixty-nine gener...

introduction: based on the previous studies, we know that the hemispheric lateralization defects, increase the probability of psychological disorders. we also know that dominant limb is controlled by dominant hemisphere and limb preference is used as an indicator for hemisphere dominance. in this study we attempted to explore the hemispheric dominance by the use of three limbs (hand, foot and e...

In this paper, we consider finite normal form games satisfying transference of decisionmaker indifference. We show that any set of strategies surviving k rounds of elimination of some weakly dominated strategies can be reduced to a set of strategies equivalent to the set of strategies surviving k rounds of elimination of all weakly dominated strategies in every round by (at most k) further roun...

A new binuclear copper (II) complex [Cu2L2Cl4(H2O)2] (1) derived from 4,4',6,6'-tetramethyl-2,2'-bipyrimidine (L) has been synthesized and characterized by the single crystal X-ray diffraction method. Single analysis of 1 reveals that it crystallizes in space group P21/n under a monoclinic system (? = 97.995(2)°, 7.6483(2), b 7.2158(3) c 17.8477(6) Å). The ligand acts as bis-bidentate one each ...

TO test whether quantitative traits are under directional or homogenizing selection, it is common practice to compare population differentiation estimates at molecular markers (FST) (Wright 1951) and quantitative traits (QST) (Spitze 1993). If the trait is neutral and its determinism additive, then theory predicts that QST 1⁄4 FST, while QST . FST is predicted under directional selection for di...

A genetic map containing 103 microsatellite loci and 200 F2 plants derived from the cross R15 × Ye478 were used for mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) in maize (Zea mays L.). QTLs were characterized in a population of 200 F2:4 lines, derived from selfing the F2 plants, and were evaluated with two replications in two environments. QTL mapping analysis of plant height was performed by using...
