CYTOGENETICS, CYTOTAXONOMY AND CHROMOSOMAL EVOLUTION OF CHRYSOMELINAE REVISITED (COLEOPTERA, CHRYSOMELIDAE)


Does compensatory mitigation restore food webs in coastal wetlands? A terrestrial arthropod case study on the Upper Texas Coast

Compensatory wetland restoration is a critical component of holistic, ecosystem-level oil spill response strategies.An important goal of restoration is to rehabilitate food webs in impacted areas, but faunal assemblages and trophic dynamics are rarely included in post-restoration monitoring or assessments of success.Different approaches to wetland

The Design and Simulation of an Astronomical Clock

This paper describes and explains the synthesis of an astronomical clock mechanism which displays the mean position of the Sun, the Moon, Engine Oil Cooler the lunar node and zodiac circle as well as the Moon phases and their motion during the year as seen from the Earth.The clock face represents the stereographic projection of the celestial equato

On the Computation of the Voltage Distribution along the Non-Linear Resistor of Gapless Metal Oxide Surge Arresters

Games The voltage distribution along the non-linear resistance of metal oxide surges is of great importance for their proper operation, since the non-uniform potential distribution results in higher thermal stresses of the varistor discs near the high voltage electrode, leading to a faster ageing of the discs at the top and, consequently, a downgra

Environmental toxin acrolein alters levels of endogenous lipids, including TRP agonists: A potential mechanism for headache driven by TRPA1 activation

Exposure to airborne toxins can trigger headaches, but the mechanisms are not well understood.Some environmental toxins, such as acrolein, activate transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1), a receptor involved in pain sensation that is highly expressed in the trigeminovascular system.It has been shown in rat models that repeated exposure to a
