Size-selective harvesting is one of the most widespread anthropogenic impacts on marine species. The loss of larger (older) individuals due to such harvesting has numerous cascading effects on the biology of affected species and populations, including changes in life history, demography, reproductive output, and even ecological interactions (Fenberg & Roy 2008). Size-selective harvesting has be...

Doppler studies on haemodynamics of the cardiovascular system and intra-abdominal organ perfusion in non-pregnant individuals are usually performed by cardiologists and radiologists. Specialists in Maternal-Fetal Medicine are also familiar with cardiovascular Doppler sonography, however, they mostly focus on the fetal (Malcus, 2004) or uteroplacental circulation (Abramowicz and Sheiner, 2008; P...

Adult neurogenesis, a concept emergent in the late 1990s, is the generation of new neurons in the adult brain. This process occurs thank to cells who have this proliferative feature, named as Neural Stem Cells (NSCs). Neural Stem Cells (NSCs) are primary progenitors who can generate the two neural types (neurons and glia). Classically it was assumed that NSCs are only present in the embryo, but...

Recent years have seen remarkable progress in research and development of metal nanoparticles (NPs) that takes advantage of their unique optical, magnetic, electronic, catalytic and other physicochemical properties, in a wide range of practical and potential applications such as energy, environmental, biomedical and chemical engineering (Feldheim & Foss, 2002; Ma et al., 2006; Jena & Raj, 2008;...

Within tutoring systems research, there has been a lot of recent interest in developing systems that adapt their responses to the student’s changing affect and attitude as conveyed during the human-computer interaction (e.g., (Forbes-Riley & Litman, 2010b; Conati & Maclaren, 2009; D’Mello et al., 2008; McQuiggan et al., 2008b; Porayska-Pomsta et al., 2008; Wang et al., 2008; Arroyo et al., 2007...
