MHC class I genes in a New World primate, the cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus), have evolved by an active process of loci turnover. Immunogenetics 49: 196-205.Cadavid LF, Mejia B, Watkins DI (1999) MHC clas
First, marmosets must anticipate the likely position of the insect in three-dimensional space. Second, as insects frequently change their flight pattern, marmosets need to make quick adjustments in response to changes in insect trajectory after the ballistic grasp is initiated. Notably, these ...
A discrete-time first-order Markov model was developed based on four states: head cast towards low (SLOW), head cast towards high (SHIGH), turn towards low (TLOW) and turn towards high (THIGH). Accordingly, the probability dynamics that the larva is found at time t in one particular st...
The absence of gravity can then impact both the efficiency of bioreactors and the effectiveness of antibiotics in space flight. In the last two decades, significant instrumentation develop- ment by ESA and NASA (e.g., in advanced light microscopy on the International Space Station (ISS)27) has...

the plant are breached, then preformed chemicals may inhibit or kill the intrude, and plant tissues contain a diverse array of toxic or potentially toxic substances, such as resins, tannins, glycosides, and alkaloids, many of which are highly effective deterrents to insects that feed on plants....
Micelles come first in mind when tackling solubility issues in aqueous media [31, 32]. The solubilization power of micelles has been known and used for a long time especially as detergent. Their mechanism of action was discovered in early 1900s. Micelles can be used as drug carriers and as...
The primary plant cell wall is a complex mixture of polysaccharides and proteins encasing living plant cells. Among these polysaccharides, cellulose is the most abundant and useful biopolymer present on earth. These polysaccharides also represent a rich
They tap the ground with their beaks and scrape away forest litter with their feet searching for food by pushing their beak about 15 cm into the ground and probing for insects, worms and snails. They also eat the berries from some native trees. Sometimes they make a snuffling sound, as ...
You begin to infer a context for the text, for instance, by making decisions about what kind of speech event is evolved. Who is making the utterance, to whom, when and where? The ways of reading indicated here are without doubt kinds of comprehension but they show comprehension to ...
