378 Coley, Phyllis D.; Lokvam, John; Kursar, Thomas A.Divergent defensive strategies of young leaves in two species of IngaIn the recently radiated genus Inga (Fabaceae), few nucleotide substitutions have accumulated among species, yet large divergences have occurred in defensive phenotypes, suggesting strong selection by herbivores. We compared herbivory and defenses of young leaves for I. goldmanii, a more derived spe...Bioassays; Flavanoids; Heliothis virescens; Herbivory; Inga goldmanii; Inga umbellifera; Leaf development; Non-protein amino acids; Phoebis philea2005
379 Olivera, Baldomero M.DNA-topoisomerase modificationThe first reports of topoisomerase modification were published in 1982 and 1983 (Mills et al. 1982; Durban et al. 1983; Ferro et al. 1983; Jongstra-Bilen et al. 1983). Although a wide variety of posttranslational modifications of DNA topoisomerases may occur, this chapter focuses only on phosphoryl...Poly(ADP-ribosylation); Serine residues1990
380 Adler, Frederick R.Do rhinoviruses follow the neutral theory? The role of cross-immunity in maintaining the diversity of the common coldOver 100 serotypes of rhinoviruses, one of the primary causes of the common cold, co-circulate in the human population. This high diversity makes it effectively impossible to develop a vaccine, even for those at risk of complications due to asthma or cystic fibrosis.Serotypes; mutation rate; immunodominance2006
381 Clayton, Dale H.Does avian malaria reduce fledging success: an experimental test of the selection hypothesisLike many parasites, avian haematozoa are often found at lower infection intensities in older birds than young birds. One explanation, known as the "selection" hypothesis, is that infected young birds die before reaching adulthood, thus removing the highest infection intensities from the host popul...2013-01-01
382 Symko, Orest GeorgeDoes the quasicrystal AlCuFe follow Ohm's law?We present the first measurements of the electrical I-V characteristics of AlCuFe quasicrystalline thin films processed by solid state interdiffusion of magnetron sputtered Al, Cu, and Fe layers. Despite the peculiar electronic properties of quasicrystals, our results show that those samples follow ...AlCuFe; Quasicrystal1994-10
383 Vardeny, Zeev ValentineDouble-modulation electro-optic sampling for pump-and-probe ultrafast correlation measurementsWe describe a novel electro-optic double-modulation (DM) sampling technique for ultrafast transient spectroscopy, which is characterized by a superior signal-to-noise ratio compared to that of a regular single-modulation technique. DM is achieved by a combined effect of a radio-frequency modulation,...Double-modulation; Electro-optic sampling; Ultrafast transient spectroscopy; Pump; Probe1998
384 Gesteland, Raymond F.; Atkins, John F.; Ingram, Jennifer A.; Kelly, Paul J.; Grentzmann, GuidoDual-luciferase reporter system for studying recoding signalsA new reporter system has been developed for measuring translation coupling efficiency of recoding mechanisms such as frameshifting or readthrough.

389 Goller, FranzDynamical origin of spectrally rich vocalizations in birdsongBirdsong is a model system for learned vocal behavior with remarkable parallels to human vocal development and sound production mechanisms. Upper vocal tract filtering plays an important role in human speech, and its importance has recently also been recognized in birdsong. However, the mechanisms...Taeniopygia guttata; Labial oscillations; SNILC bifurcation2008-07
390 Wu, Yong-ShiDynamics of giant-gravitons in the LLM geometry and the fractional quantum Hall effectThe LLM's 1/2 BPS solutions of IIB supergravity are known to be closely related to the integer quantum Hall droplets with filling factor v = 1, and the giant gravitons in the LLM geometry behave like the quasi-holes in those droplets. In this paper we consider how the fractional quantum Hall effect ...2006
391 Mattis, Daniel C.Dynamics of quasiparticles in the two-dimensional Hubbard modelThe Hubbard model at half-filling is a collective, antiferromagnetic insulator. We study added electrons or holes.

396 Clayton, Dale H.Ecoimmunity in Darwin's finches: invasive parasites trigger acquired immunity in the medium ground finch (Geospiza fortis)Invasive parasites pose a serious threat to native animal populations, because hosts with no history of exposure may lack effective immune defenses. Invasive parasites are a particular threat to small, island populations [1,2]. For example, introduced malaria (Plasmodium relictum) has exacerbated t...Darwins finches; Ecoimmunity; Acquired immunity; Medium ground finch; Geospiza fortis; Invasive parasites; Novel parasites; Poxvirus avium; Nest flies; Philornis downsi2010-01-06
397 Clayton, Dale H.Ecological basis of coevolutionary historyMacroevolutionary patterns are difficult to interpret because they are the product of a time scale so vast that deterministic and chance events are hard to distinguish. Although the macroevolutionary history of a group can be reconstructed from extant species, determining the ecological context in ...2003
398 Bowling, David R.Ecological processes dominate the 13C land disequilibrium in a Rocky Mountain subalpine forestFossil fuel combustion has increased atmospheric CO2 by ≈ 115 μmol mol1 since 1750 and decreased its carbon isotope composition (δ13C) by 1.7-2‰(the 13C Suess effect). Because carbon is stored in the terrestrial biosphere for decades and longer, the δ13C of CO2 released by terrestrial ecosyst...2014-01-01
