A 24-year-old female dental student with no known medical history reported a 3to 4-day history of painful blisters on the dorsal surface of both hands (Figure). She reported that the blisters began 1 to 2 days after she was boating at a local lake. While on the boat, she reported that she was preparing mojitos, a traditional Cuban cocktail that contains freshly squeezed limes, rum, sugar, mint,...

A crystallographic bar-joint framework, C in R, is shown to be almost periodically infinitesimally rigid if and only if it is strictly periodically infinitesimally rigid and the rigid unit mode (RUM) spectrum, Ω(C), is a singleton. Moreover, the almost periodic infinitesimal flexes of C are characterised in terms of a matrix-valued function, ΦC(z), on the d-torus, T, determined by a full rank t...

Alkaloids in the terminal capsule of M-89 variety of P. so m n if e rum rise and plateau as the plant matures in a controlled environment. Lancing immature capsules does not increase yield of codeine plus morphine in the above-ground plant, but lancing may translocate alkaloids upward to the capsule. Poppies produced a high proportion of codeine relative to m?rphine. This effect is probably due...

The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is an iconic species in Scotland and, due to its value as a game species, an important element of the Scottish rural economy. The native status of this species is sometimes questioned because of many recorded introductions of nonnative deer in the past that were an attempt to improve trophy size. In this study, we assessed the impact of past introductions on the ge...

Inter-sexual segregation between habitats or between sites within a habitat is very widespread in sexually dimorphic ungulates. As an explanation, it has been suggested that males, because of their larger forage requirements, are driven from preferred, high quality forage habitats into marginal habitats of lower forage quality but higher forage biomass by female competition (`indirect competiti...

Models for the analysis of Mark-Capture-Recovery studies are now well established in the literature. Classical model selection methods for identifying those models which best represent the population under investigation are perhaps less satisfactory. This is observed in the sense that such methods either require a strong physical understanding of the biological plausibility of each model and ma...

When doping graphene an unique window appears in the electron–hole excitation spectrum. Including the Coulomb interaction through the Hubbard Hamiltonian results in bound state formation in graphene. The bound states we analyze represent triplet excitations, i.e. magnons, with spin 1. When increasing the strength of the Coulomb interaction, electron–hole pairs are dragged down into the window. ...
