DUE LETTURE PER CAROLINA

Computer-Based Classification Accuracy Due to the Spatial Resolution Using Per-Point Versus Per-Field Classification Techniques

Mercury exposure due to environmental factors and amalgam restorations in a sample of North Carolina children.

PURPOSE Dental amalgam restorations provide a potential source for mercury (Hg) exposure in children. This study explored the possibility that Hg levels in dentin of exfoliated primary maxillary canines could detect cumulative Hg exposure from amalgam restorations in a sample of North Carolina children. METHODS Twenty-seven exfoliated maxillary canines from 3.3 children, without restorations ...

Variation in per capita interaction strength: thresholds due to nonlinear dynamics and nonequilibrium conditions.

I measured the strength of interaction between a marine herbivore and its growing resource over a realistic range of absolute and relative abundances. The herbivores (hermit crabs: Pagurus spp.) have slow and/or weak functional and numerical responses to epiphytic diatoms (Isthmia nervosa), which show logistic growth in the absence of consumers. By isolating this interaction in containers in th...
