Mimosa bahamensis, a Bahama-Yucatan disjunct

The Bahama Banks: a "living" Fossil-environment

The Bahama Banks represent an environment of carbonate sedimentation widespread in the past but extremely rare today. Its occurrence presents the geologist with the opportunity of learning firsthand about geologic processes once prevalent on the earth's surface, but he has been slow to take advantage of the opportunity and slower to use the Bahama story in the classroom. Some literature on the ...

The MIMOSA Package

In a vaccine trial setting, intracellular cytokine staining assays measure whether individuals respond to a vaccine. They do so by measuring how antigen-specific T–cells respond to antigen stimulation. Antigen-specific T–cells that respond to antigen express one or multiple cytokines (i.e., IFNg, IL2, TNFa, IL4). The strength of response is measured as the fraction of antigen-specific T-cells e...

An Electrometric Study of Mimosa *

The fact that living organisms exhibit certain electrical phenomena has long been known, but understanding of their significance and meaning is limited. The attempt to explain the several aspects of biological activity which can be recorded by electrical devices has, in general, rested on the assumption that the underlying phenomena are chemical and that the electrical records represent by-prod...
