We describe the relationships between summer average total phosphorus (TP) and the biomass of six major phytoplankton taxonomic groups from 91 north temperate lakes. Both regression and a locally weighted smoothing (LOWESS) analyses show that all groups increase with TP but over different nutrient ranges. At nutrient extremes, i.e. very low and high levels of TP, the few taxonomic groups that d...

By measuring titratable acidity, gas exchange parameters, mesophyli succulence, and lSC/UC ratios, we have shown that Cissus quadrgudaris L. has C3-like leaves and stems with Crassulacean acid metabolsm (CAM). In addition, the nonsucculent leaves show the diurnal fluctuations in organic acids termed recycling despite the fact that all CO2 uptake and stomatal opening occurs during the day. Young...

An X-ray crystal structure of lithium 2,3,3-trimethylindolenide therate shows it to be a disolvated dimer having a 7)-azaallyl-type structure. The structures of the salt in several solvents have been established by studies of I3C chemical shifts, 6Li,15N spinspin splitting, 7Li quadrupole splitting constants, and apparent degrees of aggregation determined by vapor pressure barometry. It is the ...

After several decades in which design computing has been almost exclusively the domain of software, today, many investigators are building hybrid systems and tools that in one way or another bridge the divide between physical “real-world” artifacts and computational artifacts. On the one hand, the rise and popularity of mass customization, rapid prototyping, and manufacturing raises questions a...

We report the findings of a programmatic series of studies designed to investigate the cognitive underpinnings of cross-culturally recurrent forms of possession belief. Possession phenomena are frequently portrayed in the anthropological literature as incompatible with common cultural assumptions and biases guiding Western notions of ‘‘self’’ and ‘‘personhood’’ and as resisting generalization a...

The project Active LearTling for Active Citktnship formed part of recent civil renewal policy and contributed to the development of ideas along with action on the ground. Whilst that practice will be explored in other chapters, this chapter will examine the underlying principles. It is written by the author of the original report submitted to the Home Office in 2004, who subsequently helped ini...

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are an invaluable tool for both basic and clinical studies. Nevertheless, it is well established that alongside their immense potential, hPSCs undergo culture adaptations can result in genetic aberrations including recurrent chromosomal abnormalities (Draper et al., 2004Draper J.S. Smith K. Gokhale P. Moore H.D. Maltby E. Johnson J. Meisner L. Zwaka T.P. Tho...

People hold beliefs that vary not only in their perceived truth, but also in their value to the believer— their meaning, relevance, and importance. We argue that a belief’s value is determined, at least in part, by its explanatory power. Highly valuable beliefs are those that can uniquely explain and organize a diverse set of observations. Less valuable beliefs, in contrast, are those that can ...
