We present a preliminary overview of our molecular phylogenetics research on the superfamily Scarabaeoidea. The molecular data consists of 28S ribosomal DNA sequences (mainly D2 and D3 expansion regions) for over 600 taxa and 18S ribosomal DNA sequences (mainly E17 to E35 expansion regions) for over 150 representative taxa within the lineages sampled. Based on our preliminary molecular phylogen...

Magnesium is the lightest of all the commonly used metals. It is one of the most abundant elements in the earth's surface, amounting to a mass fraction of c.a. 2.5 %. It has been prepared for industry as metal and alloy ingots; the latter are most often made with aluminum. Various magnesium-based alloys have been developed and mainly applied to transport facilities and mobile electric devices b...

In the visual system of Siamese cats, the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) receives an abnormally large projection from the contralateral eye and a correspondingly reduced projection from the ipsilateral eye. In order to determine how this abnormal pattern of retinal input arises, the prenatal development of the retinogeniculate projection was studied in Siamese cats using the anterograde trans...

Manganese peroxidase (MnP) is a heme-containing enzyme produced by white-rot fungi and is part of the extracellular lignin degrading system in these organisms. MnP is unique among Mn binding enzymes in its ability to bind and oxidize Mn(II) and efficiently release Mn(III). Initial site-directed mutagenesis studies identified the residues E35, E39, and D179 as the Mn binding ligands. However, an...

We have studied the development of retinal ganglion cell morphology in the cat's visual system from early fetal to postnatal times. In particular, we have examined the contribution of growth and remodeling to the establishment of mature retinal ganglion cell form. Ganglion cells were identified by retrograde labeling with rhodamine latex microspheres deposited in the superior colliculus and lat...
