Introduction The nutrients that animals assimilate can follow several pathways. They can be stored for future use, immediately oxidized to fuel metabolism, or used to synthesize materials for reproduction, growth and tissue maintenance. The sugars assimilated by a non-reproductive nectar-feeding bird, for example, can be stored as glycogen, used to synthesize lipid, or oxidized immediately (Ale...

Most previous studies in computerized deception detection have relied only on shallow lexico-syntactic patterns. This paper investigates syntactic stylometry for deception detection, adding a somewhat unconventional angle to prior literature. Over four different datasets spanning from the product review to the essay domain, we demonstrate that features driven from Context Free Grammar (CFG) par...

Differences of opinion among the scholars, one which is Muhammad Al-Ghazali in his control Sunday hadiths and statements related to hadiths, should not be relied upon matters faith because they are qat'iyyah al thubut, raises many doubts, so their validity needs studied.

Early molecular identification methods relied on protein electrophoresis that became recognized as an official method for fish fillet identification (AOAC, 1990; Tenge et al., 1993; Yearsley et al., ...

The article by Yaoita et al in this issue of Circulation is the first of what will indubitably be many articles on the role of the caspases in cell death. This is an important event. Until 10 years ago, we could not define death at all. Instead, we relied on the process of necrosis, the decay of the cell after its death, as a way to tell us that cells had died. Typical experiments involved appl...

A Bayesian mixing model and stable isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen were used to evaluate the extent to which six consumers (three fishes, two zooplankton, and a snail) in a naturally productive lake used terrestrial resources, epilimnetic and metalimnetic phytoplankton, benthic algae, and macrophytes. Resource use varied with consumer habitat use and feeding ability, but allochthony ...

The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) response to my commentary (Weiss 2012) reflects the wide gulf between how the FDA translates " weight of evidence " into regulatory policy for artificial food colors (AFCs) and how it is translated into meaning ful action on behalf of public protection. The FDA essentially took the position that for a study to be considered as evidence of adverse effects...

To better grasp the visuomotor control system underlying insects’ height and speed control (Srinivasan et al. 1996, Portelli et al. 2010a), we attempted to interfere with this system by producing a major perturbation on the free flying insect and observing the effect of this perturbation. Honeybees were trained to fly along a high-roofed tunnel, part of which was equipped with a moving floor. T...
