Williamson and Sabath (1982) have demonstrated a significant relationship between modern population size and environment by examining atoll area and rainfall in the Marshall Islands. The present work seeks to extend that argument into prehistory by examining the relationship of ancient habitation sites and size of aroid pit agricultural systems to atoll land area and rainfall regime along the 1...

GABA A receptors are Cl Ϫ channels that can be opened by GABA and are the major inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors in the CNS. A variety of pharmacologically important drugs, such as benzodiazepines, barbiturates, neuroactive steroids, anesthetics and convulsants, produce at least part of their clinically relevant effects by interacting with distinct allosteric binding sites on GABA A recept...

In wireless communication, the signal of a typical broadcast station is transmited from a broadcast center p and reaches objects at a distance, say, R from it. In addition there is a radius r, r < R, such that the signal originating from the center of the station is so strong that human habitation within distance r from the center p should be avoided. Thus every station determines a region whic...

Monocultures have been the preferred production route in the bio-industry, where contamination has been a major bottleneck. In nature, microorganisms usually exist as part of organized communities and consortia, gaining benefits from co-habitation, keeping invaders at bay. There is increasing interest in the use of co-cultures to tackle contamination issues, and simultaneously increase producti...
