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...

The triggering receptor expressed in myeloid/microglial cells 2 (TREM2; encoded at chr6p21.1) is a glycosylated type 1 transmembrane sensor-receptor of the immunoglobulin-lectin-like gene superfamily expressed in the human central nervous system (CNS). TREM2 normally functions in immune surveillance, sensing and phagocytosis, including the homeostatic clearance of deleterious extracellular debr...

For several decades researchers have been recording electrical brain activity associated with eye movements in attempt to understand their neural mechanisms. However, recent advances in eye-tracking technology have allowed researchers to use eye movements as the means of segmenting the ongoing brain activity into episodes relevant to cognitive processes in scene perception, reading, and visual ...

Pathogenic microorganisms have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to inactivate antibiotics and rendered an urgent need for new antibiotics that would target the emerging multidrug-resistance (Butler et al., 2013). Consequently, search for novel sources of potent antibiotics is desperately needed to develop potent drugs. Microbial resources have made an incredible contribution to the antibiotic d...

Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most deathleading visceral neoplasms worldwide (Sener et al., 2005; Somboon et al., 2014). The most widely used agent against hepatocellular carcinoma is doxorubicin, either as a single agent or in combination with other chemotherapeutics like cisplatin (Giglia et al., 2010). However, this conventional chemotherapy has shown various side effects, for examp...

A currently successful approach to computational semantics is to represent words as embeddings in a machine-learned vector space. We present an ensemble method that combines embeddings produced by GloVe (Pennington et al., 2014) and word2vec (Mikolov et al., 2013) with structured knowledge from the semantic networks ConceptNet (Speer and Havasi, 2012) and PPDB (Ganitkevitch et al., 2013), mergi...

The increasing availability of forced-transient simulations of the last millennium (e.g., Fernández-Donado et al. 2013; Masson-Delmotte et al. 2013; Otto-Bliesner et al. 2015) from fully-coupled General Circulation Models (GCMs) has greatly improved the potential for investigating multidecadal-to-centennial-scale climate dynamics (e.g. Coats et al. 2013a, b, 2015a, b) and for comparing paleocli...
