– The desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) has traditionally been viewed as an archetypal desert-adapted vertebrate. However, evidence from historical ecology, phylogenetics, anatomy, physiology, and biogeography qualifies this view significantly. Ancestors of G. agassizii stabilized as an essentially modern morph some 17-19 million yrs ago ago, perhaps 12 million yrs before the formation of ma...

Species-specific taboos are relevant to nature conservation, yet the relation of conservation with such social mechanisms and connected traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) is underexposed in both science practices. This paper researches Mahafaly Antandroy tribes South Southwest Madagascar critically endangered radiated tortoise (Astrochelys radiata). We develop idea that collection denotes a...

Quantum thermal effect of Weyl neutrinos in a rectilinearly non-uniformly accelerating Kinnersley black hole is investigated by using the generalized tortoise coordinate transformation. The equation that determines the location, the Hawking temperature of the event horizon and the thermal radiation spectrum of neutrinos are derived. Our results show that the location and the temperature of the ...

In this work, we obtain a relation for average quantum time dilation between two clocks A and B in the near-horizon region of black hole supported by Rindler metric conformal tortoise coordinate. It is indicated that identified with classical flat background limits.

Optogenetics and electron microscopy reveal an ultrafast mode of synaptic vesicle recycling, adding a new twist to a 40-year-old controversy.

Thank you for inviting me to participate in UVA's History of Health Sciences Series. My hope is that this brief discussion of Health Care Research's evolution over the centuries may help to place contemporary pursuits in some historical perspective. As in all branches of enquiry each generation benefits from the prior contributions of our predecessors. As one observer of the passing scene put i...

Practitioners and investigators often view clinical trials from very different perspectives-the former in terms of individuals and the latter in terms of groups. The following whimsical dialogue highlights the philosophical foundations of these contrasting perspectives and illustrates their potential impact on patient care and public policy. The title alludes to a piece by Lewis Carroll regardi...
