Scott is also the focus of...

The fat and fatty acid compositions of 28 species of fish and invertebrates (n = 954) from the Scotian Shelf, Georges Bank, and the Gulf of St. Lawrence were determined. Discriminant analysis of the 16 most numerous species (n ≥ 18 each), using 17 major fatty acids, classified species with greater than 98% accuracy and grouped species into three general clusters (gadids, flatfish, and planktivo...

such as P/CAF and SRC1 (reviewed in Coqueret, 2002) TFIIS and GreB: Two Like-Minded depending on the promoter context, so it will be critical Transcription Elongation Factors to determine the acetylation status of both C/EBP and histones on cyclin D1 target gene promoters. A third with Sticky Fingers important question is why should LIP activate these target genes? Does it merely displace or an...

Every day there are natural and human caused disasters that impact public health and that have adverse impacts on the affected societies and their economic productivity. In addition, there are very subtle, evolutionary forces of global change with profound impacts on human health and well being. Satellites have long been used to illustrate and measure global and regional Earth system processes ...

Within the brain, the hippocampus is particularly sensitive to modulation by these lifestyle factors. This brain structure is known to be critical in learning and memory, and, we sugg...

Earlier research links citizens’ populist attitudes with the support for referendums. However, foundations and meaning of this relationship remain unclear. This note proposes a theoretical, conceptual methodological discussion that identifies three main problems: studies linking referendums have rather narrow theoretical framing limited to studies, there is much ambiguity surrounding role direc...
