A membrane barrier important for assembly of the nodes of Ranvier is found at the paranodal junction. This junction is comprised of axonal and glial adhesion molecules linked to the axonal actin-spectrin membrane cytoskeleton through specific adaptors. In this issue, Zhang et al. (2013. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201308116) show that axonal βII spectrin maintains the diffusion ...

Restricted gene flow may cause positive spatial genetic autocorrelation of animal populations at fine spatial scales. The Mongolian gerbil Meriones unguiculatus is a territorial, social rodent. Territoriality may create social fences to restrict dispersal or gene flow of Mongolian gerbils to a short distance. Restricted dispersal may differentiate fine-scale spatial genetic structure of populat...

A decade after the publication of the Common European Framework of Reference for languages (CEFR, Council of Europe 2001), practitioners’ relationship with this fundamental tool is still rather ambivalent and certainly not homogeneous. Very often teachers feel hesitant, asking themselves if what they are doing is consistent with the CEFR guidelines. This scenario, with some minor variations, ca...

A 5-year study of long-term (40 years) study plots was conducted on the Osceola National Forest in northern Florida to determine how dormant-season fire frequency (annual, biennial, quadrennial, or unburned) affects ground-dwelling macroarthropod use of coarse woody debris in longleaf pine (Pinus palustris Mill.) forests. Pitfall traps were used to sample arthropods near logs or metal drift fen...

Invasive predators are a critical driver of global biodiversity loss • Invasive predators (particularly feral cats and foxes) are the cause of many native mammal extinctions throughout Australia •Well established predators cannot be eradicated due to the cost •One method to protect threatened species is exclusion fencing • Although fences are predator proof, breaches occasionally occur (tree fa...

Huntap is designed as a house that can be improved from time to until it becomes permanent settlement in accordance with the wishes of its inhabitants. People who live huntap initially lived large houses yards spread pattern settlements and at relocation these communities had moved limited land area cluster-shaped patterns. This study aims determine factors elements influence privacy affirmatio...

We present a class of relaxed memory models, defined in Coq, parameterised by the chosen permitted local reorderings of reads and writes, and the visibility of interand intra-processor communications through memory (e.g. store atomicity relaxation). We prove results on the required behaviour and placement of memory fences to restore a given model (such as Sequential Consistency) from a weaker o...
