The pholyphenolic phytoalexin resveratrol (3,4 ́,5-trihydroxystilbene) is abundant in grape skins (with higher concentration in red as compared to white wine), peanuts, the roots of the weed Polygonum cuspidatum as well as in other fruits and vegetables (Cardile et al., 2007; Csaki et al., 2008). It is produced by plants in response to stress and has a wide range of pharmacological activities. R...

Scyphomedusae undergo a predictable ontogenetic transition from a conserved, universal larval form to a diverse array of adult morphologies. This transition entails a change in bell morphology from a highly discontinuous ephyral form, with deep clefts separating eight discrete lappets, to a continuous solid umbrella-like adult form. We used a combination of kinematic, modeling, and flow visuali...

Et Tu, Torsten? This critique of my Economic Policy paper generates many emotions. It is certainly an honor for my research to be taken seriously by such an eminent scholar as my friend Torsten Persson. And while any publicity is good, a negative citation dominates a positive one. There is irony; I came up with the original idea in a hallway conversation with Harry Flam a few feet from Persson’...

A traditional view of the nature of species holds that populations within species maintain genetic cohesion through substantial intraspecific gene flow and that the whole genome of a species is protected from interspecific gene flow by strong reproductive isolation. Both aspects of this view have been challenged. Reproductive barriers between recently evolved species can be incomplete and perme...

This paper describes and discusses the impacts of the passage of cold fronts on the vertical structure of the Carlos Botelho (Lobo-Broa) Reservoir as demonstrated by changes in physical, chemical, and biological variables. The data were obtained with a continuous system measuring 9 variables in vertical profiles in the deepest point of the reservoir (12 m) coupled with climatological informatio...

Two new species of Dolichothele Mello-Leitão, 1923 are described from Brazil and Bolivia, D. mottaisp. n. from Distrito Federal and the state of Goiás, Brazil, and D. camargorumsp. n. from the state of Rondônia, Brazil, and the La Paz region, Bolivia. Males of the two new species resemble Dolichothele bolivianum (Vol, 2001) in having a small subapical keel on the distal embolus and females in p...

Field, laboratory, and modeling studies of fractured rock have generated great interest from both fundamental and applied perspectives. Many practical applications of these studies are crucial for the exploitation of petroleum and geothermal reservoirs, the safe environmental management of groundwater, the isolation of radioactive waste in under­ ground repositories, cleanup technologies for ot...
