Abstract Predicting whether anthropogenic sources of mortality have negative consequences at the level population dynamics is challenged by mechanisms like density‐dependent survival that can amplify or offset loss individuals from disturbances. Run‐of‐river (RoR) hydropower a growing industry cause frequent salmonid fry through rapid reductions in streamflow, leading to stranding on dewatered ...

Thanks to large buffers, Forward Error Correction (FEC) improves the reliability of off-line streaming significantly. Real-time streaming however puts hard restrictions on the buffer size leaving FEC helpless for combating long link failures on a single path route. Compared with buffering, multi-path routing is another orthogonal method, which can make FEC efficient also for real-time streaming...

Mechanistic studies of the enolization of 2-methylcyclohexanone mediated by lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS; TMS(2)NLi) solvated by hindered dialkyl ethers (ROR') are described. Rate studies using in situ IR spectroscopy show that enolizations in the presence of i-Pr(2)O, 2,2,5,5-tetramethyltetrahydrofuran, and cineole proceed via dimer-based transition structures [(TMS(2)NLi)(2)(ROR')(ket...

Circadian clocks are endogenous oscillators driving daily rhythms in physiology. The cell-autonomous clock is governed by an interlocked network of transcriptional feedback loops. Hundreds of clock-controlled genes (CCGs) regulate tissue specific functions. Transcriptome studies reveal that different organs (e.g. liver, heart, adrenal gland) feature substantially varying sets of CCGs with diffe...

In a situation of increasing accountability and competition for public funding in South Africa, the ARC has to be able to show that its use of public money and both appropriate and effective. Previous studies (Khatri, Thirtle & van Zyl, 1996) have shown that the ROR to public sector agricultural R&D in South Africa is over forty percent. This collection of disaggregated studies estimate rates o...

Background: Tegument protein pp150 of cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) plays a vital role in all stages of viral life cycle, representing the most important tegument protein candidate for HCMV treatment. However, the exact role of pp150 in immune regulation is yet to be elucidated. Objective: To examine the effects of pp150 on the maturity and function of muri...

The advances on communications systems require more challenging antenna designs, in‐ creasing the complexity of design, manufacturing, and testing stages. Different sources of er‐ ror may affect the antenna final prototype, degrading its performance, and then requiring a re-design step to identify and correct these manufacturing errors. In general, this re-design step requires invasive techniqu...

Initiation of allergic airway pathology often depends on the protease activity inhaled allergen. Previous studies have shown that IL-17–driven neutrophil and eosinophil responses can promote pathology1Kim J. Chang Y. Bae B. Sohn K.H. Cho S.H.
