A population of Spermophilus beecheyi was studied to determine
patterns of individual spacing, behavioral interactions among different
sex and age classes, and the relationship between aspects of S. beecheyi
social structure and sociality to those of other sciurids. Research was
conducted on a population of squirrels living in an abandoned...
Several problems relating to linear programming modeling have
been identified: (1) model formulation, validation and explanation
are difficult and time consuming; (2) models must be frequently
updated and debugged; (3) flexibility is needed to specify the model
schema for a class of problems as a group; and (4) significant
differences...
This research paper is limited to the User Interface of the modeling language of HELM (Hierarchical Environment for Linear Modeling). In attempt to better describe the user interface for HELM, some examples and portions of Carol Brown's report are included for ease of reading and a brief overview of the...
Background Maternal blood total mercury (THg) is a biomarker for prenatal methylmercury (MeHg) exposure. Few studies have quantified both blood THg and MeHg during pregnancy, and few studies have reported longitudinal trends.
Objectives We analyzed blood THg and MeHg in a cohort of pregnant mothers in Charleston, South Carolina (n...

Infection caused by Mycobacterium avium is common in AIDS patients who do not receive treatment with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) or who develop resistance to anti-HIV therapy. Mefloquine, a racemic mixture used for malaria prophylaxis and treatment, is bactericidal against M. avium in mice. MICs of (+)-erythro-, (−)-erythro-, (+)-threo-,...
A major goal of the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) has been to understand the impacts of climate change and variability on the coastal ecosystems of the inner shelf of the California Current Large Marine System in particular, and other marine and even nonmarine systems more generally....
Neurospora crassa has been for decades a principal model for filamentous
fungal genetics and physiology as well as for understanding
the mechanism of circadian clocks. Eukaryotic fungal and animal
clocks comprise transcription-translation-based feedback loops that
control rhythmic transcription of a substantial fraction of these transcriptomes,
yielding the changes in protein...
