The fossil record does not allow for the precise reconstruction of the cortical shape, but much information about the behaviour and ecology of ancestral species can be gathered from skeletal and artifactual remains53. Mapping cortical surface models of all species to a common reference frame enables ...
wetland soils with a low C: N ratio have been found to favor the growth of methanogenic bacteria, which could ultimately enhance wetland CH4production and emission (refer to Sect. 4.1.1. “microbial properties) (Hu
Building predictive models that link MC composition to function is a key emerging challenge in microbial ecology. Here, we argue that addressing this challenge requires close coordination of experimental data collection and method development with mathematical model building. We discuss specific examples ...
In other words, humankind has triggered many of the increases in ecosystem disservices caused by geese, whereas efforts to reduce costs by other means than population control through harvest have been limited to date. These include, for example, creating refuges and scaring geese into the refuge...
While metaproteomics hold great potential for microbial systems ecology, there are challenges in studying complex microbial communities regarding protein identification rates (compared to single-organism proteomics), protein extraction from environmental samples, large sequence databases, sequence unavailability, ...
Among them, immediate and delayed word recall tests, are used to assess individuals' short-term and long-term memory, whereas serial 7's test, date naming, and picture drawing are designed to assess the respondents' ability to perform mathematical tasks, orientation, and mental intactness. All ...
Determination of quality, in relation to completeness, of a predicted viral sequence has been notoriously difficult due to the absence of universally conserved viral genes. To date, the most reliable metric of completeness for metagenome- assembled viruses is to identify circular sequences (i.e., ...
not representative and do not capture variability and uncertainties, yet the ability to test the applicability or implications of such simplified assumptions is limited due to the lack of data to compare against. The limited research that does exist suggest large variations in material types, ...

In one embodiment, a service may transform messages requesting functions into method calls; the client may not know that the service is invoking methods to perform the functions.Application Number: 09/672200 Publication Date: 07/08/2008 Filing Date: 09/27/2000 ...
