The analysis of fine-scale spatial genetic structure (FSGS) within populations can provide insights into eco-evolutionary processes. Restricted dispersal and locally occurring genetic drift are the primary causes for FSGS at equilibrium, as described in the isolation by distance (IBD) model. Beyond IBD expectations, spatial, environmental or historical factors can affect FSGS. We examined FSGS ...

Green space can effectively retain particles and improve air quality. However, most studies have focused on leaf-scale measurements or regional-scale model simulations, few focus individual trees. In this study, 176 urban park green spaces were selected within the 5th Ring Road in Beijing, i-Tree Eco was used to estimate PM2.5 retention levels of trees sample plots. The results show that capaci...

Although numerous hypotheses exist to explain the overwhelming presence of sexual reproduction across the tree of life, we still cannot explain its prevalence when considering all inherent costs involved. The Red Queen hypothesis states that sex is maintained because it can create novel genotypes with a selective advantage. This occurs when the interactions between species induce frequent envir...

Engineering Change Order or ECO phase is always challenging for any family of chip design. High Performance Microprocessors are largest and most complex overall design within Semiconductor Industry as a whole. To add further, there are additional design and methodology challenge related to bleeding edge of process nodes. Hence, current and future microprocessor design requires a set of well pla...

Wireless Sensor Networks play a vital role in applications like disaster management and human relief, habitat monitoring, studying the weather and eco systems, etc. Since the location of deployment of these WSNs is usually remote, the source of energy is restricted to battery. A Significant amount of work has been done by researchers in the past to achieve energy efficiency in WSNs. In this pap...

The aims of the present study were to investigate the effect of sodium valproate (VPA) on the sleep structures of epileptic patients and the correlation of these effects with patient weight gain. A total of 60 epileptic patients were divided into three groups: E-AED I (VPA administration for a duration of <3 months), E-AED II (VPA administration for a duration of >3 months) and ECO (without VPA...

Stormwater Green Infrastructure (SGI) systems such as rain gardens, permeable pavement and bioswales are commonly used in municipalities to reduce urban flooding water pollution. In conjunction with these direct benefits, SGI provide additional social environmental “co-benefits”. Our goal was investigate the co-benefits of five cities United States, including Baltimore, Denver, New York City, P...

The DNA coding for ribosomal RNA from Lytechinus variegatus, an Atlantic sea urchin species, is arranged in repeating units. Each unit is cleaved into four fragments by the restriction endonuclease Eco RI. The same gene region is dissected by the enzyme Sal 1 to yield two fragments. The restriction nuclease Kpn I has one restriction site within each repeat unit, thus generating a single fragmen...
