The value of cynomolgus and rhesus monkeys to predict human pharmacokinetic parameters has been well established in recent years. However, practical limitations on cost and accessibility can often be a deterrent to obtain data in these valuable species, and the characterization of the predictive power of other nonhuman primates would be useful. Therefore, the present investigation was designed ...

Nature’s services provided by green cover are important to environmental conditions in cities and their ability to adapt to climate change. Researchers using geospatial technologies have dramatically increased the spatial and temporal resolution of knowledge about the distribution of tree and shrub cover in cities. Much of the current research on tree cover in cities has concentrated on individ...

Digitized images of the optic disc, acquired videographically (Rodenstock Analyzer) under green (540 nm) and red (640 nm) illumination, were used to quantify optic disc pallor. The pallor density of each pixel was defined as twice the reflectance under green illumination divided by the sum of the reflectance under red and green illumination. Pallor densities can range from 0 (red) to 1 (white);...

Manjula Tiwari, Karen A. Bjorndal,* Alan B. Bolten and Benjamin M. Bolker Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research and Department of Zoology, University of Florida, PO Box 118525, Gainesville, FL 32611, USA *Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The mid-domain effect (MDE) model was developed to evaluate patterns of species richness. We applied the MDE model to intraspecific di...

A model of the equations of two dimensional problems in a half space, whose surface in free of micropolar thermoelastic medium possesses cubic symmetry as a result of a Mode-I Crack is studied. There acts an initial magnetic field parallel to the plane boundary of the half- space. The crack is subjected to prescribed temperature and stress distribution. The formulation in the context of the Lor...

We discuss the use of context-aware and pervasive techniques applied to data gathering, shared services, and information distribution for a vehicle sharing system in the Green Move project.

In present research, the foam glass-ceramic composites fabricated by window glass, steel slag and SiC, CaCO3 foaming agents were investigated by press–sintering method. The optimum sintering temperature was obtained at 1200°C with a 3-minutes holding time and 20°C/min heating rate. The optimum pressure level of 80 MPa for achieving the 70 % of relative density was selected. The effec...

N the investigation of pigmentation among the lozenge series of pseudoalleles I in Drosophila melanogaster, the amount and distribution of red and brown pigments in the compound eyes of the lozenge mutants can be analyzed histologically by studying the genic effect on the two pigments separately. In an earlier report (CLAYTON 1957), the distribution of pigment in males of the lozenge mutants wa...
