In many vertebrates, the brain’s right hemisphere which is connected to the left visual field specializes in the processing of information about threats while the left hemisphere which is connected to the right visual field specializes in the processing of information about conspecifics. This is referred to as hemispheric lateralization. But individuals that are too predictable in their respons...

The evolutionary relationship between the domestic bactrian camel and the extant wild two-humped camel and the factual origin of the domestic bactrian camel remain elusive. We determined the sequence of mitochondrial cytb gene from 21 camel samples, including 18 domestic camels (three Camelus bactrianus xinjiang, three Camelus bactrianus sunite, three Camelus bactrianus alashan, three Camelus b...

When two semiconductors are joined at a heterojunction, discontinuities occur in the valence bands and in the conduction bands. For an atomically abrupt interface, these discontinuities are sharp on an atomic length scale (i.e. on the order of a few atomic distances). This is in contrast with band-bending effects, which are associated with depletion layers, and which occur on much larger length...

A study of sampling, granularity and localities in program restructuring " (1981). Retrospective Theses and Dissertations. Paper 7441. INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material ...

In 1811, Napoleon (whose armies occupied The Netherlands) ruled that all Dutch citizens should have their family names registered. At the time of Napoleon's decree, family names were used only by members of the upper class. Thus, this decidedly unpopular decree forced much of the Dutch populace to invent a name for their families. To express their dissatisfaction with Napoleon's ruling, some fa...

GENET has been shown to be eecient and eeective on certain hard or large constraint satisfaction problems. Although GENET has been enhanced to handle also the atmost and illegal constraints in addition to binary constraints, it is deecient in handling non-binary constraints in general. In this paper, we present E-GENET, an extended GENET. E-GENET features a convergence and learning procedure si...

The taxonomy and ecology of the cyclopoid copepod genus Thermocyclops were studied. Samples were collected in 207 water bodies located in the 22 hydrographic basins of São Paulo State, Brazil, including large reservoirs, small and shallow lakes, and ponds and rivers. The genus Thermocyclops inhabits mainly water bodies within a limnetic region. Four species were found, of which one is new: Ther...

The Bactrian camel includes various domestic (Camelus bactrianus) and wild (Camelus ferus) breeds that are important for transportation and for their nutritional value. However, there is a lack of extensive information on their genetic diversity and phylogeographic structure. Here, we studied these parameters by examining an 809-bp mtDNA fragment from 113 individuals, representing 11 domestic b...
