Commercially successful video games easily sell more than one million units in the US market alone and gross more than $ 100 million. Few research approaches have asked the question what makes a video game succeed in the market. This paper focuses on the role of external information sources. As video games are experience goods whose value for the consumer only becomes apparent after he or she h...

Correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) is a unique method for investigating biological structure-function relations. With CLEM protein distributions visualized in fluorescence can be mapped onto the cellular ultrastructure measured with electron microscopy. Widespread application of correlative microscopy is hampered by elaborate experimental procedures related foremost to retrieving ...

time of the symposium. Thus this work represents a review of the field as it stood then, rather than a collection of original research, for which its format of rapid offset printing is usually reserved. So although the book is a useful single source, it is rather unhappily organized to serve as an introduction to frozen blood for the uninitiated. The most useful and novel contributions are the ...

A detailed analysis of the coronal anatomic and CT appearances of the orbital apex is presented. In cadavers, coronal CT 9800 scans of the orbital apex and precisely corresponding cryomicrotomic sections were obtained. The CT appearance of the optic nerve, anulus of Zinn, and cranial nerves III-VI at the superior orbital fissure and orbital apex were determined. These anatomic structures were a...

Light microscopy and electron microscopy are complementary techniques that in a correlative approach enable identification and targeting of fluorescently labeled structures in situ for three-dimensional imaging at nanometer resolution. Correlative imaging allows electron microscopic images to be positioned in a broader temporal and spatial context. We employed cryo-correlative light and electro...

Rapid global change has increased interest in developing ways to identify suitable refugia for species of conservation concern. Correlative and mechanistic distribution models (SDMs) represent two approaches generate spatially-explicit estimates climate vulnerability. SDMs distributions using statistical associations between environmental variables presence data. In contrast, use physiological ...

2 Department of Integrative Biology, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma 74078 USA The suite of factors that drives where and under what conditions a species occurs has become the focus of intense research interest. Three general categories of methods have emerged by which researchers address questions in this area: mechanistic models of species’ requirements in terms of environment...

The paper proposes a digital circuit design for the logistic-map module used in chaotic stream ciphers, analyzes the factors that may affect the output of the sequences, and develops a calculation method for estimating the output sequential correlative peak interval. With the respective tests using different initial values, the values of parameter u and the computational precisions, extensive e...

A combined approach of subwindow factor analysis and spectral correlative chromatography was used to analyze the volatile components in Radix Flemingiae Macrophyllae and Flemingiae Latifolia Benth, one of its substitutes. After extraction by a water distillation method, the volatile components in Radix Flemingiae Macrophyllae and Flemingiae Latifolia Benth were detected by GC-MS. Then the quali...
