REGIONAL LANDBIRD MONITORING Regional landbird monitoring : perspectives

The Northern Region Landbird Monitoring Program (NRLMP) has been in place for nearly a decade. Based on our experience with this program, we offer thoughts on monitoring goals, the need for regional programs, and the components we believe make count-based monitoring effective. The NRLMP includes a biennial bird survey conducted from permanently marked points for the purposes of long-term popula...

Monitoring apoptosis with fluorescent Zn2+-indicators.

Apoptosis, a mechanism of programmed cell death that removes superfluous and harmful cells, is important both during development and in tissue homeostasis. Although Zn2+ is believed to be critical in apoptosis, the precise details of its role have yet to be elucidated. The macrocyclic Zn2+ ligand dansylamidoethylcyclen [L1*(HCl)4*(H2O)2], which is found primarily in a diprotonated form (H2L1), ...

Synthetic regional Danish

The speech technological scene in Denmark is slowly gaining public and commercial attention, and today there is a call for more diverse products than just recognition and synthesis of standard Danish (i.e. the Copenhagen regiolect). In this working paper, we demonstrate how an existing synthesis engine may be tuned to provide a regiolect speaking voice, involving in its simplest form prosodic a...
