Most geoscientists are familiar with the colorful LandSat imagery we have been provided with for almost 30 years. These multispectral data sets have allowed us to see the earth in colors not accessible to the human eye and hence allowed discrimination of previous, not distinguishable geological features. Technology has progressed and it is now possible to view the earth not only in a few, but h...

The structure and function of microtubules (MTs) are regulated by post-translational modifications of tubulin subunits, such as acetylation of the Lys40 residue of α-tubulin. Regulation of the organization and dynamics of MTs is essential for the precise formation of the mitotic spindle. Spindle MTs are highly acetylated, but the mechanism regulating this acetylation is largely unknown. Furry (...

This paper is a preliminary exploration on the attribution system of mineral energy ownership of China. In this article, mineral energy is broken down into two categories, namely, the energy minerals and the products of energy minerals. Subsequently, this paper further elaborates and makes a pectination to the energy ownership system according to the mode of acquisition of the two types of mine...

Captive rearing often alters the phenotypes of organisms that are destined for release into the wild. Natural selection on these unnatural phenotypes could have important consequences for the utility of captive rearing as a restoration approach. We show that normal hatchery practices significantly advance the development of endangered Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fry by 30+ days. As a result, ...

Vocal fry is speech that is low pitched and creaky sounding, and is increasingly common among young American females. Some argue that vocal fry enhances speaker labor market perceptions while others argue that vocal fry is perceived negatively and can damage job prospects. In a large national sample of American adults we find that vocal fry is interpreted negatively. Relative to a normal speaki...
