Analyzing The Evolution and Diversification of Lepidoptera Using Multi-Spectral Images
(2023-06-01)Insects comprise an estimated 60% of all described species, and butterflies are among the best known of all insect taxa. The order Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) contains approximately 160,000 species in 126 families. ... -
Analyzing the multidimensionality of aging by using machine learning to predict age from diverse medical datasets
(2021-05-12)The world population is aging, leading to a rise in the prevalence of age-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. In parallel to treating the diseases, an attractive idea is to address the problem at ... -
Anaphor Binding: What French Inanimate Anaphors Show
(MIT Press - Journals, 2016)Owing to different ideas about what counts as an anaphor subject to Condition A, two influential but superficially incompatible versions of Condition A of binding theory have coexisted: Chomsky’s (1986) version, and versions ... -

Anatomic and Molecular Development of Corticostriatal Projection Neurons in Mice
(Oxford University Press, 2013-03-18)Corticostriatal projection neurons (CStrPN) project from the neocortex to ipsilateral and contralateral striata to control and coordinate motor programs and movement. They are clinically important as the predominant cortical ... -
An Anatomical and Biomechanical Study of the Human Iliotibial Band's Role in Elastic Energy Storage
(2014-06-06)The iliotibial band (ITB) is a complex structure that is unique to humans among apes and is derived from the fascia lata (FL) of the thigh. Although the ITB evolved in the hominin lineage, it is unclear whether it evolved ... -
Anatomical and Ecological Constraints on Phanerozoic Animal Diversity in the Marine Realm
(National Academy of Sciences, 2002)We grouped the fossil records of marine animal genera into suites defined by function and physiology, The stratigraphic coherence of the resulting diversity history indicates the importance of ecological structure in ... -
An Anatomical and Functional Dissection of the Role Pet1 Raphe Neurons Play in Neonatal Cardiorespiratory Homeostasis
(2016-08-26)Life-sustaining cardiorespiratory homeostasis requires the dynamic response of brainstem neural circuits. Apneas - the cessation of breathing often accompanied by bradycardia - can reflect defects in these circuits, and ... -
Anatomical Constraints on Attention: Hemifield Independence Is a Signature of Multifocal Spatial Selection
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2012)Previous studies have shown independent attentional selection of targets in the left and right visual hemifields during attentional tracking (Alvarez & Cavanagh, 2005) but not during a visual search (Luck, Hillyard, Mangun, ... -
An Anatomical Description of a Miniaturized Acorn Worm (Hemichordata, Enteropneusta) with Asexual Reproduction by Paratomy
(Public Library of Science, 2012)The interstitial environment of marine sandy bottoms is a nutrient-rich, sheltered habitat whilst at the same time also often a turbulent, space-limited, and ecologically challenging environment dominated by meiofauna. The ... -
Anatomically modern Carboniferous harvestmen demonstrate early cladogenesis and stasis in Opiliones
(Springer Nature, 2011)Harvestmen, the third most-diverse arachnid order, are an ancient group found on all continental landmasses, except Antarctica. However, a terrestrial mode of life and leathery, poorly mineralized exoskeleton makes ... -
Anatomy of "Decadence"
(2016-05-19)Examining the perception of literary decline in Greek, Latin, Arabic, and Persian, this study unearths an enduring taboo, one little changed by place and time, against verbal creation too readily sacrificing “nature” and ... -
The Anatomy of Chaju Kukpang: Military-Civilian Convergence in the Development of the South Korean Defense Industry under Park Chung Hee, 1968-1979
(2016-05-19)Based on empirical study of newly declassified sources from South Korea, the dissertation examines the Park Chung Hee regime’s (1961-1979) policies related to chaju kukpang, or “self-reliant national defense,” from the ... -
The Anatomy of the Column Density Probability Distribution Function (N-PDF)
(American Astronomical Society, 2018-06-04)The column density probability distribution function (N-PDF) of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) has been used as a diagnostic of star formation. Simulations and analytic predictions have suggested that the N-PDF is composed ... -

Ancestral Polymorphism of Mhc Class II Genes in Mice: Implications for Balancing Selection and the Mammalian Molecular Clock
(Genetics Society of America, 1997)To investigate the evolutionary dynamics at Mhc class II DR genes of mice (genus Mus),we sequenced the peptide binding regions (PBRs) of 41 DRB (=E beta) genes and eight DRA (=E alpha) genes from 15 strains representing ... -
Anchoring Magnetic Fields in Turbulent Molecular Clouds
(American Astronomical Society, 2009)One of the key problems in star formation research is to determine the role of magnetic fields. Starting from the atomic intercloud medium which has density \(n_H \sim \ 1 \ cm^{–3}\), gas must accumulate from a volume ... -
Ancient and Recent Adaptive Evolution of Primate Non-Homologous End Joining Genes
(Public Library of Science, 2010)In human cells, DNA double-strand breaks are repaired primarily by the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway. Given their critical nature, we expected NHEJ proteins to be evolutionarily conserved, with relatively little ... -
Ancient Aqueous Environments at Endeavour Crater, Mars
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2014)Opportunity has investigated in detail rocks on the rim of the Noachian age Endeavour crater, where orbital spectral reflectance signatures indicate the presence of Fe+3-rich smectites. The signatures are associated with ... -
Ancient Cities and Landscapes in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq: The Erbil Plain Archaeological Survey 2012 Season
(British Institute for the Study of Iraq, 2013)In 2012, the Erbil Plain Archaeological Survey (EPAS) conducted its first season of fieldwork. The project’s goal is the complete mapping of the archaeological landscape of Erbil, with an emphasis on the Neo-Assyrian and ...
