Abstract Introduction Detecting and correcting errors is important in preventing detrimental consequences of sleep loss. We report the first study to utilise both behavioural EEG measures error awareness, we compare effects total deprivation (TSD) restriction (SR). Methods Twenty-seven healthy adults (14F, age=27.2±5.1y) were studied well-rested ( WR 9h sleep/night) following SR (3 nights 3h sl...

Context Carrion is a high-energy and nutrient-rich resource that attracts diverse group of vertebrate scavengers. However, despite the carrion pool being highly seasonal in its availability, there little understanding how scavengers utilise carcasses across all four seasons.Aim To assess season influences carcass-detection times by their rates scavenging.Methods We used remote cameras to monito...

The gene encoding phosphopantetheinyl transferase (PPTase), pfaE, a component of the polyketide synthase (PKS) pathway, is crucial for the production of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6ω3), along with the other pfa cluster members pfaA, pfaB, pfaC and pfaD. DHA was produced in Escherichia coli by co-expressing pfaABCD from DHA-producing Colwellia psychrerythraea 34H with one of four pfaE genes f...

During the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico a deep-sea hydrocarbon plume developed resulting in a rapid succession of bacteria. Colwellia eventually supplanted Oceanospirillales, which dominated the plume early in the spill. These successional changes may have resulted, in part, from the changing composition and abundance of hydrocarbons over time. Colwellia abundance pea...

Elbaite (space group R3m), a Li-bearing tounnaline with general fonnula of XY3Z"(B03hSi,,0,,W4, has 5 kinds of cations and 8 kinds 01'0 (including W). Of the structural studies of tourmaline, those of Gabrielle Donnay and hcr group were unique in focusing on the structural aspccts ofthc primary pyroelectricity (Donnay, 1977" etc). Donnay (1977) refined the structure of elbaite, and tound that t...

As a rule, mentally ill patients are held to be responsible for their acts just like everyone else. Notwithstanding, the law in Israel contains special rules which distinguish individuals with mental illness from other people. The instructions laid out in article 34h of the Israeli Penal Law empower the court to release a defendant from criminal responsibility. To do this the following criteria...
