Many studies and reviews (e.g. Morton 1977; Fitch & Hauser 1995, 2002; Fitch 1997, 2000) have discussed the potential for mammalian vocalizations to provide honest signals of body size. Researchers have frequently investigated the link between fundamental frequency, F0 (i.e. pitch), and body size, but have not always found strong relationships between the two (e.g. Lass & Brown 1978; Masataka 1...

NBD-C1 (7-chloro-4-nitro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole) inactivates the catalytic subunit of adenosine 3’,5’-cyclic monophosphate (CAMP) depthdent protein kinase isolated from bovine brain by covalent modification. The reaction follows pseudo-first-order kinetics. The pseudo-first-order rate constant (k8p,,) shows a hyperbolic dependence on NBD-Cl concentration, suggesting formation of a reversible comp...

Sodium currents were recorded in cell-attached and inside-out patches from the innervated membrane of Electrophorus electrocytes. Electrocytes from Sachs and main electric organs were prepared as described by Pasquale et al. (1986.J. Membr. Biol. 93:195.). Maximal currents in the Sachs organ, measured with 1-2-p.m diameter patch pipettes and at room temperature, were in the range of 20 to 300 p...

The RMS radii of valence orbits in the tin isotopes are calculated using the single-particle potential model. Comparison with experimental data yields conclusions concerning the distribution of spectroscopic strength in these nuclei. Several recent analyses of the cross sections of nucleon transfer reactions (Chapman et al 1979, Warwick et al 1979a, b) have given values of the RMS radii of the ...

6 The ability to develop invasive haustoria is the key feature of parasitic angiosperms. 7 The haustorium attaches the parasite to the host, penetrates the host while keeping 8 its own tissues intact, develops a vascular continuity between the host and parasite 9 and ultimately provides the conduit through which host and parasite materials flow. 10 The ability to make haustoria distinguishes pa...
