Reptiles figure prominently in both historical and current research on sexual size dimorphism (SSD), in part because of the considerable range of dimorphisms and life histories observed within this group. In this chapter, we describe the major patterns of SSD in reptiles and discuss the primary evolutionary hypotheses and ecological correlates proposed to explain these patterns. Our discussion ...

This work examined the expression of the septum site determining gene (ssd) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis CDC1551 and its ∆sigD mutant under different growing conditions. The results showed an up-regulation of ssd during stationary phase and starvation conditions, but not during in vitro dormancy, suggesting a putative role for SigD in the control of ssd expression mainly under lack-of-nutrient...

The Drosophila obscura clade consists of about 41 species, of which 20 were used for analyses of wing and thorax length. Our primary goal was to investigate the magnitude of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) of these traits within this clade and to test Rensch's Rule [when females are larger than males, SSD (e.g., female/male ratio) should decrease with body size]. Our secondary goal was methodologi...

introduction: the aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of four different concentrations of aloe vera extract on healing of second degree burns in male wistar rats. materials and methods: by an experimental study 42 male wistar rats were divided into 7 equal groups. the burn injury was made on the back of all rats, according to standard methods. the burned areas in the group1: were left ...

Zusammenfassung. In der Bildregistrierung ist es häufig notwendig, die Methoden den speziellen Problemanforderungen der zu bearbeitenden Bilder anzupassen. Ein Weg, um zusätzliches Wissen in eine Registrierung einzubringen, ist die Nutzung gewichteter Distanzmaße, um damit die Bedeutung ausgewählter Bildbereiche zu verstärken, abzuschwächen oder auszublenden. Im Fall der parameterfreien Registr...

As the complexity of inner structure of Solid State Disks (SSD), both in H/W architecture and software layer, is growing in rapid speed, importance of having holistic performance measuring environment is also rising. Trace driven evaluation methodologies provide a quick understanding of the performance of SSD; however it only allows a detailed view on performance of SSD. Many trace driven or wo...

This paper deals with portfolio efficiency testing with respect to second-order stochastic dominance (SSD) criteria. Unlike the pair-wise tests the portfolio efficiency tests allow for full diversification across the assets. As usual in SSD testing, the returns of assets are modeled by scenarios. We apply a computationally attractive method to test whether a US market portfolio, proxied by CRSP...

Species sensitivity distribution (SSD) is a key concept of probabilistic analysis for quantifying ecological risk. I developed a method of probabilistic ecological risk assessment in Japan with a case study of the herbicide simetryn. Then, risk comparison among eleven herbicides was conducted using the developed method. However, one of the most important limitations of SSD application is the la...
