From February 2005 to September 2007, a total of 490 crocodile sharks Pseudocarcharias kamoharai, caught as by-catch in the swordfish and tuna longline fishery that operates in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean, was studied in regard to their reproductive biology. Maximum observed total lengths (L(T)) were 1220 and 1090 mm for females and males respectively, with a high proportion of the catc...

Polycarbonate membrane filters were used to concentrate 916 sputum specimens for detecting acid-fast bacilli by microscopic examination. These results were compared with those of smears prepared from centrifugates and direct smears of the same specimens. Culture isolation, the control procedure, demonstrated the presence of acid-fast bacilli in 76 specimens. The number of positive specimens det...

Accumulating evidence suggests that integrin recycling regulates cell migration. However, the lack of reagents to selectively target the trafficking of individual heterodimers, as opposed to endocytic transport as a whole, has made it difficult to define the contribution made by particular recycling pathways to directional cell movement. We show that autophosphorylation of protein kinase D1 (PK...

This investigation examines metal ion adsorption on mesoporous silicate, MCM-41, synthesized from sodium silicate solution and cethyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). MCM-41 has potential as an adsorbent material, with a regular hexagonal pore structure, large specific surface area, and large pore volume. The MCM-41 synthesized for this investigation is characterized using powder X-ray Received...

The gap function of a domain Ω ⊂ Rn is ξ(Ω) := d(λ2 − λ1), where d is the diameter ofΩ , andλ1 andλ2 are the first two positive Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Euclidean Laplacian on Ω . It was recently shown by Andrews and Clutterbuck (J Amer Math Soc 24:899–916, 2011) that for any convex Ω ⊂ Rn , ξ(Ω) ≥ 3π2, where the infimum occurs for n = 1. On the other hand, the gap function on the moduli sp...
