Using next-generation sequencing technology, we describe the complete mitochondrial genomes for 5 Australian passerine birds (Epthianura albifrons, Petroica phoenicea, Petroica goodenovii, Petroica boodang, and Eopsaltria australis). We successfully assemble each mitogenome de novo using just 1/8th of a Roche GL FSX 454 pyrosequencing plate. From the assembled mitogenomes, we identify 2 differe...

The acridinone derivates 5-dimethylaminopropylamino-8-hydroxytriazoloacridinone (C-1305) and 5-diethylaminoethylamino-8hydroxyimidazoacridinone (C-1311) are promising antitumor agents with high activity against several experimental cellular and tumor models and are under evaluation in preclinical and early phase clinical trials. Recent evidence from our laboratories has indicated that both comp...

The potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (šulc), has been detrimental to potato, tomato, and other solanaceous crop production in many countries. Management of B. cockerelli is dominated by frequent insecticide applications, but other approaches need consideration, including biological control. The sole arrhenotokous ectoparasitoid of nymphal potato psyllids is Tamarixia triozae (Burks) (Hyme...

larger scale than that for which their estimated effects were originally obtained, occurs across many different applications, programs, and disciplines. Economic models of scale-up, which are the concern of this chapter, have focused on particular types of scale-up effects that occur frequently in interventions where economic outcomes are the major interest and where program beneficiaries—in th...

Human medicine is continuously developing, and human medical model is also constantly evolving. In the evolution process of medical model, medical humanistic spirit is constantly developing as well. In order to build modern medical humanistic spirit, grasp of the evolution of human medical model as well as the development course of medical humanistic spirit is highly necessary. In this paper, t...
