Plants have evolved multiple strategies associated with the induction of mechanisms or traits in response to herbivore attack ( Fineblum and Rausher, 1995 ; Strauss and Agrawal, 1999 ; Núñez-Farf á n et al., 2007 ). On the one hand, following herbivore attack, plants can increase the production of chemical compounds or physical traits that drastically reduce herbivore damage ( Núñez-Farf á n et...

Eben Donges Hospital (EDH) is a regional hospital in the Boland/Overberg region of the Western Cape. It serves a diverse community whose economic stability is reliant on the intensive fruit-farming industry. This farming is heavily dependent on organophosphate (OP)-containing insecticides for pest control, often to the detriment of labourers’ health. The combination of accessibility, limited le...

Tucker characterized the minimal forbidden submatrices of binary matrices that do not have the consecutive-ones property. We give a linear-time algorithm to find such a minimal one in any binary matrix that does not have the consecutive-ones property. Lekkerkerker and Boland characterized the minimal forbidden induced subgraphs for the class of interval graphs. We give a linear-time algorithm t...

Fatty acids are the simplest type of lipids that serve as building blocks for more complex lipids such as phospholipids, cholesterol, and vitamin E, which are integral to cell membranes (Fig. 1). Abnormal metabolism and imbalances of these three complex lipids have all been associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and will be outlined in following sections. Fatty acids can be saturated,...
