Speed of adaptation and genomic footprints of host-parasite coevolution under arms race and trench warfare dynamics [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Coevolution is expected to follow two alternative dynamics, often called trench warfare and arms races in plant-pathogen systems. Trench warfare situations are stable cycles of allele frequencies at the coevolving loci of both host and parasite, and it is predicted that the loci will show molecular evolutionary signatures of balancing selection, while ...

MetalMat, EarlyView.Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are identified as prospective materials for orthopedic and cardiovascular applications because of their bio‐corrosiveness and ability to stimulate tissue reparative processes. Although compared with traditional metals, Mg is biocompatible; however, it has various problems that stem from its biodegradation nature, for ...

Misleading reference to unpublished wound ballistics data regarding distant injuries [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 An article (J Trauma 29:10-18, 1989) cites unpublished wound ballistics data to support the authors' view that distant injuries are a myth in wound ballistics. The actual data, published in 1990, actually contains a number of detailed examples of distant injuries. (Bellamy RF, Zajtchuk R. The physics and biophysics of wound ballistics.

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Applying population genomics, this study revealed that Pst exhibits slower linkage disequilibrium decay compared to rust fungi with known sexual reproduction, identified extensive hard and soft sweeps linked to Pst adaptation, and demonstrated that crop domestication and breeding programs have significantly influenced pathogen population sizes ...

Antifragile Electronic Warfare [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 This letter introduces the concept of antifragile electronic warfare (EW), which we define as the ability to allow a communications link to improve performance due to the presence of a jammer. This concept should not be confused with jamming countermeasures (a.k.a. anti-jamming or electronic protection).

American Journal of Public Health and the Nations Health, 1952 THE process of biological warfare is no longer something mysterious. All it can possibly involve is the employment of "nature's infections and toxic weapons under willful control and direction." Our defenses are the same as have been used in epidemics of the past.

The Origins of Viking Age Dogs in Luistari, Eura, Finland
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We used stable (δ18O) and radiogenic (87Sr/86Sr) isotopic proxies to investigate the origins of dogs (Canis familiaris) buried in Viking Age graves at Luistari, Finland. While all 13 dogs exhibited oxygen isotope values compatible with local surface waters, 87Sr/86Sr ratios for two of the four dogs analyzed (graves 289 and 480) were compatible
