In a narrow critique of two early papers in the literature on cumulative cultural evolution, Vaesen et al. (1) misunderstand the work they criticize, mischaracterize multiple lines of research, and ...

A method is presented for detecting the cellular location of specific DNA fractions. The technique involves the hybridization of a radioactive test DNA in solution to the stationary DNA of a ...

The present article is a brief report of some results contained in the author's dissertation approved by the California Institute of Technology for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Note: The ...

Although anomalous episodic warming of the eastern equatorial Pacific, dubbed El Niño by Peruvian fishermen, has major (and occasionally devastating) impacts around the globe, robust forecasting is ...

The Principle of Microscopic ReversibilityNote: The article usage is presented with a three- to four-day delay and will update daily once available. Due to ths delay, usage data will not appear ...

Because ecosystem responses to such variables may depend on the type of ecosystem, its species composition and soils, abiotic variables including climate, and the magnitude of the change in drivers, ...

Formation of knots in mathematical self-avoiding random walks has been extensively studied (10 – 16). In the 1960s, Frisch and Wasserman (10) and Delbruck (11) conjectured that the probability of ...

Wildfires are a major source of fine particulate matter (diameter <2.5 µm; PM 2.5), which is a health hazard. Since the mid-1980s, the total US area burned by wildfires has been increasing, with fires ...

We present a simple nitrogen (N) isotope model to investigate the partitioning of gaseous (fgas) vs. leaching (fleaching) pathways of N removal from the nonagricultural (i.e., unmanaged) terrestrial ...

MLST was performed as described (10). Alleles at the seven loci were assigned by comparing the sequences at each locus to those of the known alleles in the S. aureus MLST database. The allele numbers ...
