Saltwater intrusion driven by water extraction, coastal modifications, and climate change may alter the biogeochemical cycling of freshwater coastal wetlands. Anaerobic respiration in freshwater wetlands is typically ...
<p>At a given time, tidal landforms inhabit one of three alternate elevation-determined stable states: salt marsh, sub-tidal platform, or tidal flat. The balance between soil production and sea level rise controls transitions ...
My goal was to describe how biological and ecological factors give shape to fishing practices that can contribute to the successful self-governance of a small-scale fishing system in the Gulf of California, Mexico. The ...
<p>In most aspects of music--e.g., tempo, intensity, and rhythm--the emotional coloring of a melody is due at least in part to physical imitation of the characteristics of emotional expression in human behavior. Thus ...
Spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias, are one of the most abundant and controversial shark species on the East Coast of the United States. As a result of overfishing, many marine predatory fish populations have diminished by ...
This Masters Project identifies the University’s biomass fuelshed and locates potential supply sources and probable fuel quantities. An Excel workbook couples user-defined transportation, processing, collection and handling, ...
By means of flexion wrists the functionality of prosthetic fittings for upper extremities
can be improved significantly. Objects can be manipulated more favourably. Furthermore an
optimized gripping position allows an ...
In the current study, preliminary testing has indicated that a suitably processed electromyography (EMG) signal is sensitive enough to display changes in muscle activity in a normal population due to changes in oithotic ...
The wrist plays an important role for the function of the human hand. The wrist joint is a complicated anatomical unit, consisting of various bones, ligaments and muscles. The distal and proximal joints combined with the ...
<p>Pediatric cervical spinal injuries are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Cervical injuries observed in the pediatric population appear to be age dependent with younger children experiencing more upper ...
<p>Primates and many other animals that move in an arboreal environment often cling, sometimes for long periods, on vertical supports. Primates, however, face a special challenge in that almost all primates bear nails on ...
<p>Articular cartilage is the connective tissue that lines the ends of long bones in diarthrodial joints, providing a low-friction load-bearing surface that can withstand a lifetime of loading cycles under normal conditions. ...
<p>Embryonic development involves a precisely orchestrated interplay between gene expression, tissue movement and cell-shape changes. Using time-lapsed <italic>in vivo</italic> confocal microscopy we investigate the ...
<p>This project is predicated on the ability of the boranophosphate modification of siRNA to increase its therapeutic applicability for gene silencing in in vitro and in vivo systems. It has been shown that the boranophosphate ...
<p>Based on a biopsychosocial model of mammography pain, the current study assessed if specific biological and psychosocial factors were associated with higher reported mammography pain in early stage breast cancer survivors. ...
The objective for these tools is to encourage the conservation of biodiversity through private sector investment in biodiversity business. The tools seek to enable both investors and business developers to create viable ...
Today’s Europe is at a crossroads. Europe is currently facing a phenomenal reversal of its historical migration trajectory, becoming a primary destination for immigrants rather than just a sending source. This international ...
<p>Bistable switches are commonly observed in the regulation of critical processes such as cell cycles and differentiation. The switches possess two fundamental properties: memory and bimodality. Once switched ON, the ...
The conduct book stakes out the boundaries of correct behavior, making instructions for self-management available to anyone who strives for easy social integration. Given its close relation to the mores of the educated ...
Envisioned by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1967, the Poor People's Campaign (PPC) represented a bold attempt to revitalize the black freedom struggle as a movement explicitly based on class, not race. Incorporating African ...
