After a year that posed serious and ongoing challenges for many also in the worldwide scientific community, positive news cannot be taken granted. It is therefore with deep gratitude we acknowledge Advanced Theory Simulations continues to develop well. The number of manuscript submissions has increased nearly fivefold since journal started 2018, keeping editorial office busy serving so authors ...

Ecological science addresses the relations between living things and their environments, and the study of human ecology the particular case of humans. However, there is an opposing tradition built into the foundations of modern science which separates living things and particularly humans, from their environments. Beginning in modern times with Descartes' radical separation of psychology and ph...

-Competitive adsorption between phosphate, tartrate and oxalate was studied on two hydroxy aluminum montmorillonite complexes (A1Mtl.6 and AIMt6), which were prepared by adding a base to pH 5.5 to samples containing 1.6 and 6.0 mol AI per kg clay. The quantities of phosphate, tartrate and oxalate adsorbed were more closely related to the amount of OH-AI species coatings on the montmorillonite t...

We have used immunofluorescence staining to study the subcellular distribution of cyclin A and Bl during the somatic cell cycle . In both primary human fibroblasts and in epithelial tumor cells, we find that cyclin A is predominantly nuclear from S phase onwards . Cyclin A may associate with condensing chromosomes in prophase, but is not associated with condensed chromosomes in metaphase. By co...

In this paper, I respond to comments by Henggeler, Schoenwald, Borduin, and Swenson (this issue) on my recent article, “Lessons from a systematic review of Multisystemic Therapy.” I identify factual and logical errors in their response, show how relevant research has been misinterpreted and misrepresented, and suggest constructive new directions for Multisystemic Therapy and the evidence-based ...

Nearly half the world's population lives in urban centers, and these areas are increasingly important components of regional and global land cover. However, their ecological attributes are often overlooked, despite the presence of species, ecosystem services, and risks associated with the spread of pests or threatening processes such as fire. Movement and dispersal of organisms contribute to sp...

Both previously reported cases of M. neoaurum infection inbe noted that the biochemical description of M. neoaurum has varied in the literature depending on the strains being evaluated [1, 7, 8]; for volved infection of long-term indwelling Hickman catheters in immunocompromised hosts [2, 3]. One patient had a history of the case described herein as well as the two previously reported cases, id...

The Queensland Government recently awarded A$15 million to the University of Queensland to establish a new “hot rocks” research and development centre, called the Queensland Geothermal Energy Centre of Excellence. The vision for the Centre is to provide urgent, forward looking research, development and support for establishment of geothermal energy as a clean energy option through a program of ...

Voltage-dependent K 1 channel gating is influenced by the permeating ions. Extracellular K 1 determines the occupation of sites in the channels where the cation interferes with the motion of the gates. When external [K 1 ] decreases, some K 1 channels open too briefly to allow the conduction of measurable current. Given that extracellular K 1 is normally low, we have studied if negatively charg...
