The Arctic Coastal Plain (ACP) of northern Alaska consists of an extremely low gradient, lake-rich landscape that is characterized by a complex network of aquatic habitats and surface features strongly influenced by permafrost dynamics. Much is unknown about the form, function, and ecological conditions in this unique hydrologic setting. Amplified climate change and landscape responses in the A...

Aquatic ecoregions were increasingly used as spatial units for aquatic ecosystem management at the watershed scale. In this paper, the principle of including land area, comprehensiveness and dominance, conjugation and hierarchy were selected as regionalizing principles. Elevation and drainage density were selected as the regionalizing indicators for the delineation of level I aquatic ecoregions...

Based on analysis of F.D. Mordukhai-Boltovskoy’s publications, this paper examines the history studies impact thermal and nuclear power plants, which were originally performed under classical “Haeckelian” ecological paradigm: external effect technogenic factors aquatic ecosystems biota. The decline in interest problem was not associated with a decrease or changes energy industry. However, parad...

INTRODUCTION Eaf1 and Eaf2 were originally identified as partners of ELL (elevennineteen lysine-rich leukemia), a fusion protein frequently associated with myeloid leukemia (Simone et al., 2001; Simone et al., 2003). Studies suggest that Eaf2 serves as a novel tumor suppressor, especially in prostate cancer (Xiao et al., 2003; Xiao et al., 2008; Xiao et al., 2009); however, the molecular mechan...
