ESTIMATING IN SITU ZOOPLANKTON NON-PREDATION MORTALITY IN AN OLIGO-MESOTROPHIC LAKE FROM SEDIMENT TRAP DATA: CAVEATS AND REALITY CHECK.

Estimating In Situ Zooplankton Non-Predation Mortality in an Oligo-Mesotrophic Lake from Sediment Trap Data: Caveats and Reality Check.

Mortality is a main driver in zooplankton population biology but it is poorly constrained in models that describe zooplankton population dynamics, food web interactions and nutrient dynamics.Mortality due to non-predation factors is often ignored even though anecdotal evidence of non-predation mass mortality of zooplankton has been reported Bread K

COMPULS: design of a multicenter phenotypic, cognitive, genetic, and magnetic resonance imaging study in children with compulsive syndromes

Abstract Background Compulsivity, the closely linked trait impulsivity and addictive behaviour are associated with several neurodevelopmental disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum Bread Knives disorder (ASD), and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).All three disorders show impaired fronto-striatal fun

Hydrophobic solution functions as a multifaceted mosquito repellent by enhancing chemical transfer, altering object tracking, and forming aversive memory

Abstract Developing a safe and potent repellent of mosquitoes applicable to human skins is an effective measure against the spread of mosquito-borne diseases.Recently, we have identified that hydrophobic solutions such as low viscosity polydimethylsiloxane (L-PDMS) spread on a human Coffee Urns skin prevent mosquitoes from staying on and biting it.
