A new general method is developed for the optimization of
HPLC ternary or pseudo-quaternary mobile phases which are
represented by the trilinear coordinate system. This method can
predict the global optimum of the mobile phase composition. The
global optimum composition along each edge of the triangle and
the corresponding selectivity...
The influence of large-scale processes on natural communities has become one of the central issues of modern ecology. I combined field and laboratory studies to investigate the effects of variation in coastal upwelling on rocky intertidal communities along the central Oregon coast. I examined whether the growth of intertidal barnacles...
Comparative morphological and anatomical studies of the dispersal mechanisms
characterizing the wheat complex (Triticum L. and Aegilops L.) have documented
patterns of adaptive radiation which may have significance for evolutionary
relationships. These patterns, which form an array of diverse types of diaspores
among the diploid taxa, appear conceptually to have...
