The Whole Organism, and nothing but the Organism

Both books draw wonderfully from all levels of evolu-traced to changes in a relatively small number of genes. tion—from considering the developmental differences While all these other considerations are valid, they do between closely related species to macroevolutionary not detract from the clear elegance of the arguments. questions of the origins of phyla.

Marine mixotrophy increases trophic transfer efficiency, mean organism size, and vertical carbon flux.

Mixotrophic plankton, which combine the uptake of inorganic resources and the ingestion of living prey, are ubiquitous in marine ecosystems, but their integrated biogeochemical impacts remain unclear. We address this issue by removing the strict distinction between phytoplankton and zooplankton from a global model of the marine plankton food web. This simplification allows the emergence of a re...

Cell, Organism and Milieu

This Seventeenth Growth Symposium volume is comprised of papers presented in June of 1958. As stated in the foreword, the theme of the conference was that of "Differentiation and growth in response to a changing chemical environment." As Dr. Rudnick points out, and as is all too obvious, this permits an extremely wide range of papers. Subjects and authors are: (1) Wilde-Differentiation in respo...

Organism, Growth and History

investigation of the electronic properties of carbon and iii-v nanotubes

boron nitride semiconducting zigzag swcnt, $b_{cb}$$n_{cn}$$c_{1-cb-cn}$, as a potential candidate for making nanoelectronic devices was examined. in contrast to the previous dft calculations, wherein just one boron and nitrogen doping configuration have been considered, here for the average over all possible configurations, density of states (dos) was calculated in terms of boron and nitrogen ...
