Investigating sexual dimorphism is important for our understanding of its influence on reproductive strategies including male-male competition, mate choice, and sexual conflict. Measuring physical traits in wild animals can be logistically challenging and disruptive for the animals. Therefore body size and ornament variation in wild primates have rarely been quantified. Gorillas are amongst the...

27. L. Redmond, S.-R. Oh, C. Hicks, G. Weinmaster, A. Ghosh, Nature Neurosci. 3, 30 (2000). 28. To create the CREST antibody, We used PCR to amplify full-length crest cDNA from P0 mouse brain total RNA and cloned it into pET21 vector for expression of His-tagged CREST protein in bacteria. After isopropyl-D-thiogalactopyranoside induction, CREST protein was mainly collected in the inclusion body...

Labyrinth weirs have not a straight crest in the perpendicular direction to the flow. The plan view of the weir consists of multiple and broken linear crests that cause the increase of its effective length. The advantages of this type of weirs are higher discharge capacity, easy aeration as well as low fluctuations of water surface at the weir upstream. This paper deals with the simulation of t...

A physical model of gabion overflow dams was studied to determine the velocity profile and Reynolds shear stress. Physical tests were done under two different conditions of dam crest, overflow dams with impermeable and with permeable crests. Instantaneous velocity components over dam crest were measured by an ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter) instrument. This instrument is capable of measuring...
