Baldwin et al. (2007 [this issue]) raise a number of concerns about our efforts to discern the independent effects of human activity levels and distributions on biodiversity (Brown & Laband 2006). Their central point of contention seems to be that we failed to acknowledge properly in our work that “land-use change due to sprawl is a leading threat to biological diversity in the United States.” ...

The significance of mammalian D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) has not been established. Little is known of the source of its substrates, since only the L form appears to be involved in the me tabolism of amino acids in higher animals. In vivo isotope dilution studies (22) have indicated that normal mammals contain no free D-tyrosine or D-glutamic acid, although Kögl (13) has re peatedly reported t...

Despite recent advances in high quality Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs), designing locomotion interfaces for Virtual Reality (VR) is still chal‐ lenging, and might contribute to unwanted side effects such as disorientation and motion sickness. To address these issues, we investigated the potentials of leaning-based 360° locomotion interfaces, which provide full-rotational motion cues (unlimited 36...

Data acquisition from a multi‐hop large‐ scale outdoor wireless sensor network (WSN) deploy‐ ment for environmental monitoring is full of chal‐ lenges. This is because the severe resource constraints on small battery‐operated motes (e.g., bandwidth, memory, power, and computing capacity), the big data acquisition volume from the large‐scale WSN, and the highly dynamic wireless link c...

Introduction In this paper we consider cell centered nite di erence approximations for second order convection di usion equations of divergence type Our goal is to construct nite di erence methods of second order of approximation that satisfy the discrete maximum principle The error estimates are in the discrete Sobolev spaces associated with the considered boundary value problem Approximation ...

A rabbit lymphocyte-mouse myeloma hybrodoma (RX54-3) was administered to BALB/c mice, in order to determine whether hybridoma cells have any protective effect on the tumorigenicity of the P3X63/Ag8 mouse myeloma cell line, one of the parents of this hybridoma. Two sublines of RX54-3 were studied, (a) "new" cells, which produce rabbit light chains and mouse immunoglobulin, are killed by anti-mye...
