Thirty-nine moss species occur on Kent Island, New Brunswick. Two-thirds of the moss species found on the island have mainly boreal ranges, which reflects the cool growing season and generally boreal character of the Bay of Fundy's vegetation. One species, Rhytidiadelphus loreus, has been recorded only once previously in the province. Most moss species showed distinctive habitat distributions. ...

Six species of lesser known edible fruits from Western Ghats of India were analysed for their anthocyanin, ascorbic acid, total phenolics and flavonoid levels and their antioxidant activities using the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. The data obtained shown the anthocyanin, ascorbic acid, total phenolics and flavonoid levels were significantly higher in the methanol extract of Maho...

Sorbus torminalis L. Crantz is a colonizing tree species usually found at low density in managed European forests. Using six microsatellite markers, we investigated spatial and temporal patterns of genetic structure within a 472-ha population of 185 individuals to infer processes shaping the distribution of genetic diversity. Only eight young stems were found to be the result of vegetative repr...

Negative anticipatory contrast (NAC) corresponds to the suppression in consumption of a first rewarding substance (e.g., saccharin 0.15%) when it is followed daily by a second preferred substance (e.g., sucrose 32%). The NAC has been interpreted as resulting from anticipation of the impending preferred reward and its comparison with the currently available first reward [Flaherty, C.F., Rowan, G...

• Multidisciplinary education through collaborative laboratory and course work • Teamwork as the necessary framework for solving complex problems • Incorporation of state-of-the-art technologies throughout the curricula • Creation of continuous opportunities for technical communication. The Rowan program emphasizes these essential features in an eight-semester, multidisciplinary, engineering cl...
