Its form and fins were certainly like the fish, but it also had mammary glands and lungs and should, thus, be classified as a mam- mal. Ever since Linnaeus, what we today refer to as conver- gent evolution (see, for example, [2,3]) has been advocated as a common and widespread ...
Lipophilic antioxidants play dual key roles in edible seeds (i) as preservatives of cell integrity and seed viability by preventing the oxidation of fats, and (ii) as essential nutrients for human and animal life stock. It has been well documented that plant domestication and post-domestication ...
The “bottom-up” synthetic biology approach primarily aims to create “protocells” and find the transition between the non-living and living matter by assembling three components: first, a metabolism for extracting energy from the environment and to construct, salvage and discard aged building block...
Ocean engineering practices are applied worldwide for construction of stable artificial reefs, as reflected throughout this article. A significant body of early work in Japan enabled the deployment of towering offshore frameworks. More recently experiments focused on oceanic hydrodynamic processes by build...
When comparing the gene defects in the distal dystrophies with the more common proximal muscular dystrophies such as dystrophinopathies or limb-girdle muscular dystrophies, there is a striking difference: the genes for distal dystrophies encode sarcomere proteins whereas the genes for proximal dys...

DSM-5 is widely used around the world, mainly by psychiatrists in biological fields for basic biological (e.g., pharmacological, molecular biological, and genetic) and cognitive-behavioral/psychoeducational therapies. The first edition of the DSM (DSM-I) was published in 1952 by the American Psyc...
