A 20-year-old male had full manifestation of Coffin-Lowry syndrome and 6 year history of progressively severe drop episodes. His drop episodes were precipitated by unexpected sudden auditory stimuli, and were not associated with electroencephalographical changes. The positron emission tomography disclosed metabolic reduction over bilateral temporal-parietal cortex which could contribute to his ...

For many years, the dominant conceptual framework for describing non-oriented animal movement patterns has been the correlated random walk (CRW) model in which an individual's trajectory through space is represented by a sequence of distinct, independent randomly oriented 'moves'. It has long been recognized that the transformation of an animal's continuous movement path into a broken line is n...

www.BioTechniques.com 159 Vol. 52 | No. 3 | 2012 Quantitative measures of physiological traits such as enzyme activity are often expressed as units of activity per milligram protein. Although numerous assays have been developed to measure protein content, including the colorimetric assays of Amido Black (1), Biuret (2), Bicinchoninic Acid (3) and Coomassie Blue (4,5), the Lowry assay (6) or its...

A new species of the genus Boca Lowry & Stoddart, 1997 is described from a mesophotic coral ecosystem off southwestern Puerto Rico, in the Caribbean Sea.
