In the sea slug Tritonia diomedea, mucociliary crawling is controlled partly by two pairs of bilaterally symmetrical neurons located in the pedal ganglia. These neurons, known as the Pedal 5 and Pedal 6 cells, produce a class of neuropeptides called TPeps. Using immunohistochemistry we identified TPep-like immunoreactive (TPep-LIR) neurons in diverse nudibranch species. All species examined had...

New millimeter-wave CO and HCN observations of the host galaxies of infrared-excess Palomar Green quasi-stellar objects (PG QSOs) previously detected in CO are presented. These observations are designed to assess the validity of using the infrared luminosity to estimate star formation rates of luminous AGN by determining the relative significance of dust-heating by young, massive stars and acti...

Transport of a sorbing solute in a two-dimensional steady and uniform flow field is modeled using a particle tracking random walk method. The solute is initially introduced from an instantaneous point source. Cases of linear and nonlinear sorption isotherms are considered. Local pore velocity and mechanical dispersion are used to describe the solute transport mechanisms at the local scale. The ...

Synchronization between the environmental lighting cycle and the biological clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is correlated with phosphorylation of the Ca2+/cAMP response element binding protein (CREB) at the transcriptional activating site Ser133. Mechanisms mediating the formation of phospho-CREB (P-CREB) and their relation to clock resetting are unknown. To address these issues, we ...

LiR – Librarian in Residence, so lautet der Titel des Residenzprogramms für Mitarbeitende deutschen Bibliotheken und Informationseinrichtungen, das jährlich von BI-International ausgeschrieben wird ein bis zwei Spezialist*innen zu einem definierten Thema Fachaufenthalt ins Ausland entsendet. Nach Anfängen 2008-2018 den USA fand LiR-Programm Niederlanden statt seit Beginn Partnerland-Initiative ...

We consider the linear Primitive Equations of the ocean in the three dimensional space, with horizontal periodic and vertical Dirichlet boundary conditions. Thanks to Fourier transforms we are able to calculate explicitly the pressure term. We then state existence, unicity and regularity results for the linear time-depending Primitive Equations, with low-regularity right-hand side.
