Many physiological responses in present-day coral reefs to climate change are interpreted
as consistent with the imminent disappearance of modern reefs globally because of annual …

Thermal performance curves ( TPC s), which quantify how an ectotherm's body temperature
(T b ) affects its performance or fitness, are often used in an attempt to predict organismal …

Increasing data demonstrate that cellular cross-contamination, misidentified cell lines, and
the use of cultures at high-passage levels contribute to the generation of erroneous and …

The application of indentation techniques to the evaluation of fracture toughness is examined
critically, in two parts. In this first part, attention is focused on an approach which involves …

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is among the world's earliest domesticated and most important
crop plants. It is diploid with a large haploid genome of 5.1 gigabases (Gb). Here we present …

Objective: To determine the ability of measurements of bone density in women to predict

Superconducting gap anisotropy at least an order of magnitude larger than that of the
conventional superconductors has been observed in the ab plane of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+ δ in …

The sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) was used to measure over 500 human semen
samples from two independent studies: Study I, 402 samples from 165 presumably fertile …

… Marshall and Lawn12 incorporated this effect into a more comprehensive indentation analysis,
giving explicit recognition to elastic and residual terms in the stress-intensity formulation. …

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world’s most important non-grain food crop and is central
to global food security. It is clonally propagated, highly heterozygous, autotetraploid, and …
