Spiroplasma cantharicola CC-1(T) (DSM 21588) was isolated from the gut of a soldier beetle (Cantharis carolinus) collected in Maryland, USA. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this bacterium to facilitate the investigation of its biology.

An unusual presentation of severe anaemia in a young soldier is presented. A brief review of the nature of Dieulafoy lesions and treatment and difficulties of managing these in military primary care is considered.

The discovery of a non-reproductive soldier caste in a clonally reproducing trematode greatly extends the taxonomic distribution of eusociality and reaffirms the importance of relatedness in the evolution of reproductive altruism.

A growing number of researches is done on the permutation routing problem in wireless networks, however, none of these studies do address the problems of security in the permutation routing in wireless sensor networks, The permutation routing problem in a military application is the fact that each soldier has items (information), that not concerned by him, and perhaps data which concerned, that...

The Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus) is an important worldwide pest, each year causing millions of dollars in structural damage and control costs. Termite colonies are composed of several phenotypically distinct castes. Termites utilize these multiple castes to efficiently perform unique roles within the colony. During the molting/caste differentiation process, multiple ge...

Improvements in cellular and satellite technology have permitted portable computers to communicate with existing distributed computing networks. Users with palm-top computers, known as mobile hosts (MHs), utilize wireless connections to communicate with wired network from a number of locations at diierent times. In this paper, we introduce a mobile computing architecture for a battleeeld enviro...

We used microsatellite data to estimate levels of inbreeding in four species of solitary gall thrips that are in the same clade as the six species with soldier castes. Three of the four species were highly inbred (Fis 0.54-0.68), and the other apparently mated randomly (Fis near zero). These estimates, combined with previous data from species with soldiers, suggest that inbreeding is a pervasiv...

We report three eye-movement experiments and an antecedent choice task investigating the interpretation of reflexives in different syntactic contexts. This included contexts in which the reflexive and a local antecedent were coarguments of the same verbal predicate (John heard that the soldier had injured himself), and also so-called picture noun phrases, either with a possessor (John heard abo...
