Biological scientists estimate that collectively the earth’s 5 to 40 million species of organisms (depending on the estimate you choose to believe) make up a total of some two trillion tons of living matter, or biomass. The plants comprise well over 90 percent of the biomass. The animals, ...
In addition to the human (host) genome, the genomes of pathogens (such as the malaria parasite), vectors (such as the Anopheles gambiae mosquito), or model organisms (such as the mouse) are also being studied. Mortality and morbidity related to common diseases have a high public health ...
Most organisms require oxygen to survive, but oxygen is not always available in the environment. Environments that lack oxygen are known as anaerobic. Environments that can be anaerobic include the ocean floor, the leaf litter layer on forest floors and soil. Anaerobic environments can be caused w...
Communal Designs are thus inclusive of both metaphysi- cal human needs as well as physical ones (e.g., shelter and sanitation), and are distinguished by the intention explicitly expressed in the design for people to meet and interact and obtain a social identity as a result of the solution...
While lipid-accumulating organisms hold great potential for the recovery of high-value molecules5, interactions between these organisms as well as the community at large are understudied in situ. We found that diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase (DGAT/WS), which is involved in lipid storage32, was enc...
While toothed whales are predators that hunt for squid, seals, sea lions and, sometimes, other whales, baleen whales engage infilter feeding, which is a method of consuming many small pieces of prey at once. These whales might eatkrill, which are tiny crustacean-like organisms, schools of sm...
(1914-2002). They were the first scientists to accurately describe the three-dimensional structure of proteins. Enzymes, hormones, and antibodies are only a few examples of the many kinds of proteins present in all living organisms and knowledge of their structure is essential for progress in ...

To further explore the impact of regional heterogeneity on the mechanisms and interaction modes studied above, we distinguished the two heterogeneities of resource endowment in wind energy resource reserves and R&D funds input and introduced them into the model through dummy variables. The results are ...
