Recent debate has highlighted the importance of estimating both the strength of sexual selection on phenotypic traits, and the opportunity for sexual selection.We describe seasonal fluctuations in mating dynamics of Leptinotarsa undecimlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).We compared several estimates of the opportunity for, and the strength of, sex
Abstract Background While protein-protein docking is fundamental to our understanding of how proteins interact, scoring protein-protein complex conformations is a critical component of successful docking programs.Without accurate Knitting Notions and efficient scoring functions to differentiate between native and non-native binding complexes, the a
Fast quasi-monoenergetic neutrons can be produced by accelerating charged deuterons on tritium solid targets.Benchmark experiments were performed in many laboratories with intense D-T neutron sources.The aim is to validate the computational models and nuclear data for fusion applications.The detailed information on the neutron source term is highly
A 7-year-old castrated male Pomeranian was evaluated Wisconsin on emergency for diagnostic work-up and treatment for acute nonpainful paraparesis.The neurologic examination suggested a L4-S3 myelopathy, but physical examination revealed lack of femoral pulses and rectal hypothermia, as well as a grade II/VI systolic heart murmur, so ischemic neurom
Ground water with arsenic concentrations greater than the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency drinking water standard exists throughout much of the CALFED solution area.These high concentrations are of con-cern from the standpoint of both existing water supply and development of conjunctive use projects.Much is known about arsenic mobility in groun
