Molecular basis for membrane phospholipid diversity: why are there so many lipids?
Phospholipids play multiple roles in cells by establishing the permeability barrier for cells and cell organelles, by providing the matrix for the assembly and function of a wide variety of catalytic processes, by acting as donors in the synthesis of macromolecules, and by actively influencing the functional properties of membrane-associated processes. The function, at the molecular level, of p...
متن کاملWhy are there so many explanations for primate brain evolution?
The question as to why primates have evolved unusually large brains has received much attention, with many alternative proposals all supported by evidence. We review the main hypotheses, the assumptions they make and the evidence for and against them. Taking as our starting point the fact that every hypothesis has sound empirical evidence to support it, we argue that the hypotheses are best int...
متن کاملWhy Are There So Many N = 4 Superstrings ?
We demonstrate the existence of three off-shell distinct N = 4 super-strings at the level of manifest locally supersymmetric Lagrangian field theories on the world sheet.
متن کاملWhy are there so many species in the tropics?
Known for centuries, the geographical pattern of increasing biodiversity from the poles to the equator is one of the most pervasive features of life on Earth. A longstanding goal of biogeographers has been to understand the primary factors that generate and maintain high diversity in the tropics. Many 'historical' and 'ecological' hypotheses have been proposed and debated, but there is still li...
متن کاملWhy Are There So Many Civil Wars in Africa? Understanding and Preventing Violent Conflict
Contrary to popular belief, Africa's civil wars are not due to its ethnic and religious diversity. Using recently developed models of the overall prevalence of civil wars in 161 countries between 1960-1999, we draw lessons with special reference to Africa, showing that the relatively higher prevalence of war in Africa is not due to the ethno-linguistic fragmentation of its countries, but rather...
