Male Diana monkeys produce loud and acoustically distinct alarm calls to leopards and eagles that propagate over long distances, much beyond the immediate group. Calling is often contagious, with neighbouring males responding to each other's calls, indicating that harem males communicate both to local group members and distant competitors. Here, we tested whether male Diana monkeys responding t...

We report a novel phenotype of methicillin resistance, designated "Eagle-type" resistance, which is characteristic in its resistance to high concentrations of methicillin (64 to 512 microg/ml) and susceptibility to low concentrations of methicillin (2 to 16 microg/ml). The type of resistance was expressed in mutant strains selected with high concentrations (e.g., 128 to 512 microg/ml) of methic...

With the growth of the Linked Data Web, time-efficient approaches for computing links between data sources have become indispensable. Most Link Discovery frameworks implement approaches that require two main computational steps. First, a link specification has to be explicated by the user. Then, this specification must be executed. While several approaches for the time-efficient execution of li...

Eagle syndrome is characterized by an elongated styloid process. However, the time frame over which the styloid process becomes elongated and extends is unknown. How the condition worsens over time is also unclear. To date, there has been no report describing the chronologic change that occurs in the styloid process in Eagle syndrome. We describe a 53-year-old patient with Eagle syndrome in who...

We present a rule-based framework, called EAGLE, that has been shown to be capable of defining and implementing a range of finite trace monitoring logics, including future and past time temporal logic, extended regular expressions, real-time and metric temporal logics, interval logics, forms of quantified temporal logics, and so on. A monitor for an EAGLE formula checks if a finite trace of sta...

Raptors are exposed to a wide variety of human-related mortality agents, and yet population-level effects are rarely quantified. Doing so requires modeling vital rates in the context of species life-history, behavior, and population dynamics theory. In this paper, we explore the details of such an analysis by focusing on the demography of a resident, tree-nesting population of golden eagles (Aq...

In a smart grid power system, reliability performance plays crucial factor and requires additional focus. Moreover, the integration of Battery Energy Storage (BES) scheme, Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) wind system in provide significant proficiency to utilities. However, coordination with PV other resources tends cause major problems such as interruption or else outage. The outage can loss distribut...

— As raptor populations recover following the banning of organochlorine pesticide use, there may be consequences for prey populations. While Bald Eagles ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ) actively prey on Glaucous-winged Gulls and their offspring ( Larus glaucescens ), their presence at colonies and roost sites may also influence reproductive success of gulls by impacting activity budgets. Here we in...

British Journal of General Practice, September 2012 501 CASE REPORT A 35-year-old woman presented in the accident and emergency department with a 2-day history of right-sided Horner’s syndrome. She had been seeing her GP over the last few months with right-sided neck pain, often brought on by chewing, and occasional tinnitus and dizziness, for which no cause had been found. Physical examination...
